I'm not sure what 'ping my default' means but I guess I'll find out when I hit send.

The week sure went by quick. I had a lot more planned but didn't have the energy to do it. My hands are still sore from woodcarving, and so I've had to lay off the knitting and crocheting. I'm looking forward to the weekend. My daughter may visit. We'll see.

Come view my Flickr photo stream. Over 3000 photos I've taken are waiting there for your pleasure. http://ping.fm/3TTAi

Time sure flies

I see I haven't updated this blog in quite a while. I've been very busy making art for my Etsy.com stores and working on art displays here and there. I work on crafts during every waking moment, just trying to get my name out there and make some sales. I'm also teaching at the Michael's store in Buena Park, CA. Hop on over there to get the current schedule or Email me to ask what's up at queenofdreams@gmail.com. I have new classes starting every month.

These are the gypsystones I left hither and yon on my trip down the coast. Did you find one? 

Off I go on another adventure.

Well, I'm on my way up the coastline from Orange County, CA to Santa Maria, CA and I'm taking my gypsystones with me. Hopefully people will find them and be reading this soon. It's 5 AM and I'm hoping to beat the worst of the traffic out of L.A. so no dawdling on line.
and Poof...there she goes....

Another view. 

I started these bulbs on Oct. 27,2004 expecting them to take 6 weeks to bloom, and they had their first blooms on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 25, 2004. So it took 4 weeks! Perhaps the 6 week forecast was for flowers grown indoors.

Growing like crazy.

Today I made Gypsystones at a pirate event, so I suppose they are piratestones. Then I hid them around a park in Upland CA.  

Two days after planting you can see them sprouting.

Paper narcissus take about 6 weeks to bloom. They can be grown with or without soil. This pot has nothing but rocks and water in it.
