Nature always has its little secrets, doesn’t it? Nighthawks are such masters of camouflage! It's always a treat to spot them perched quietly. In my backyard, the squirrels are busy gathering acorns, and the leaves are turning those gorgeous autumn shades.

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!
Participating in craft challenges is a GREAT way to drag me out of any creative ruts I may be experiencing. This month's theme is not only sustainable, but also monochromatic, defined as using only black, white and shades of gray.
Great sighting and photos. Take care, have a wonderful weekend.

ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up and sharing your critter post. Take care, have a great weekend.
It really blends in to the bark of the tree. We have small branches down everywhere after the hurricanes!
