Pretties Outside and Inside!

 The other blue gazing ball in among the hostas... 
...but look at the base;
it is heavy marble.
Bill brought it home from a yard sale-
I recognized it right away as an urn for ashes!
There was no lid with it, unfortunately but no ashes, gratefully.
It makes a nice heavy base for the ball now.
 I am working on a project that has been on the design wall for quite a while.
The hibiscus bloom is open now 
and ready for the rest of the flowers to go on a table runner.
I also need some green batik for the leaves.
I am getting quite a list for JoAnn's--I finished the Sparkly Stars top but need a backing for it-
that's three tops that need backings now!
 And today I began a new shawl in handspun Mashom wool, a long wool.
I am knitting it into another Geology Shawl by VeryBusyMonkey.
I've knit several of them but they are just a nice size and drape to stay on 
when wearing a sleeveless dress at church!  Gotta love that A/C!

  1. That urn is just too funny! It does make a perfect stand. It will be a real conversation piece.

  4. The urn is surprising but perfect for a base. I like your new shawl too. I feel the same and always carry a shawl it church in the summer. I wonder if I'll even be attending at all this summer?
