Luna Moth

Handsome Husband noticed this beauty right before I lit some insect repellent.  He advised me not to and then pointed out why.




Although not completely sure, we assume this lovely moth had recently emerged from its cocoon.


The wings and body seemed disproportionate.


I don't think I'd ever realized their bodies were so white, while the legs are a lovely chocolate color with beige antennae.


The gorgeous green wings have always held my attention.  What a treat to spend an evening with someone so beautiful!

Have you ever been enjoying a nice, quiet day of crafting, then BAM your jar of ModPodge falls off the table, splatters across the floor, and onto one of your favorite toss blankets?  Well, that happened to me right in the middle of this project.  Talk about a big, sticky mess!  Not to worry, though.  We have hardwood floors.  First, a dish towel was used to mop up most of the glops.  I had the thought to use rug cleaner on the afghan and also sprayed foam across the glue swirls on my floor.  The toss blanket made a round in my washing machine and came out unscathed.  A quick wet mop restored my hardwood floors.  Now, back to my nice quiet day of crafting.

This project has already failed twice.  TWICE!   Originally, I wanted to create a sustainable gazing ball that could be used for many seasons.  A beautiful glass gazing ball has been purchased for my garden every year and every year something happens to break it.  There has to be a better way!
