Went out and had a nice time at Lincoln’s Earth Day festival. Sorry, no photos. My neighbor Barbara organized it all! I was happy to see that many people come out, and I even got tips on where I can dispose of my old computer parts.

This weekend, we had a really productive band practice. That’s right, the band is getting together for one last show, Friday May 2nd at Knickerbocker’s. You can listen to some of our tracks here.

I’ve got a craft backlog to blog about, but I figured I would give you this up-to-the-minute post on what I have been doing. I’m making a bag for Barbara. She’s really helped us to be super green with our front yard, composting most of our yard waste and allowing us to chip up and spread the rest. She’s really inspired me over the years to keep a low-water use landscape, so here is an in-progress shot:

I’m also working on a recycled project that may get me some money in the next few weeks. The idea has been bouncing around my head for weeks. I showed it to Tyrone mid-construction last night and he about died laughing.

It IS on a guitar because I’ve been practicing so much, and wanted to give you some sort of idea of size. It is meant to be a soft focus picture, because your still can’t really tell what it is yet. It is also made out of 3 different red recycled sweaters. I shrunk some mohair, and it really turned out stiff, which is great for this project.
