Dyed Fabric and More

I dyed three different pieces of Aida cloth and as simple as it is, I had a lot of fun. Each piece was left in the dye bath at different lengths of time because I wanted to see the difference, but I really wish I had left the third one in even longer as it came out spotty in a few places. Crossing my fingers the pattern I put on it will cover most of it up :D

Finished another little Pokemon cross stitch. I like these simple little guys because so far I finish them within a month and easy to switch to if I need a break from another project.

We decided to pick all the onions that were left in the garden because they were either sitting on top or we noticed some looked like something was after them, so we hauled them all up. (didn't want them to get rot) Most will go to good homes and the rest will help me make soups, salads, and whatever anyone fancies. They made the whole house smell oddly like chili :D

I think I am going to go and make myself work on a drawing today, haven't really been doing a lot of that :(

Growing Monsters

We definitely did a garden again this year and tried some new veggies this time. Apparently they were very happy plants because what they grew for us are the biggest ones we have ever seen.

The squash..

The cucumbers..

And the biggest of them all, the monstrous zucchini!

We were trying to let it go for as long as possible but I guess it was just too tempting for the husband to not pick. :D

FR Dragon

This is Two, my Tundra dragon. He is wearing a scarf because what if they just need that little bit extra to stay warm? Probably shouldn't have used a red mat board for this one but oh well :D
-Finally- used my Derwent coloursoft pencils, I didn't think they were going to be THAT soft.
