Lunar Lemonade
Checked out that spectacle Wednesday night? Gorgeous, but was with that unnaturally sparkly star to the right (not pictured but we were looking at it through binoculars - really kaleidoscope-y and unnatural looking)? Hmmm... that's a little disturbing.
Speaking of unnatural, this week's Fiber Friday challenge was Citrus so I came up with this kiss of Kool-aid-dyed goodness. My first time playing with coils and it was too much fun. I wish there was a spin cam so you could have seen the orgasmic expression on my face when I pulled off one of those little beehives. It was pretty satisfying seeing something so cute materialize from out of nowhere. Love the new Lexi Boeger book!
And speaking of art yarns, this one's a good idea; wedding dress yarn. Why not?
A sweet little bunny for some bunny's bedroom.
I like to collect these.
Learn something new everyday, hey Craig?
I noticed that star too! It was not normal, and as a stargazer I can say that I have never seen that bright twinkliness before. I pulled people out to look at it, but they were all blasé about it, so maybe the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Anyone else see it and think "WOW!" I wonder....?

The bright star was Regulus:
"Throughout the night, viewers could see the Moon flanked by two bright points of light: One of which is the 1.4 magnitude star Regulus, while the other is Saturn - a yellow 0.2 magnitude gem 3.5 degrees above and to the left of the Moon as viewed from North America."
