Ice Balloons

QUEENAVANNA@wordpress.com posted this on PINTEREST.

Fill balloons with colored water and freeze them.  Then take the balloon off the frozen colored globe....
instant beauty......

 We used a bulb syringe to get some colored water into the already mostly filled balloons.  Then we tied them.  The ones I set outside to freeze, took longer than the ones I put in my freezer to freeze.
 I am going to line my walk with them...........I think they are adorable.
  I'm here to tell you it works.  I am going to decorate with ice globes next week when we have a party for AL and Zach's Homecomings.  The little cousins will love this.  I love this.....

 I have some work to do to line my whole path...but it is easy.  
Like them????

Very cool (literally) . . . I think they will make a festive pathway to your door.

Welcome home to Al and Zach.

It's beautiful! I wish I had time or space in my freezer to copy this. Can't wait to see a photo of the lined sidewalk. :) g

So sad.....ice balloons, ice lanterns-all so fun. I feel left out. It is never cold enough here anymore for anything to stay frozen very long. I had to dash the spumoni ice cream home to the freezer just now so we didn't have too much car melt.

I love these globes, it will look mighty festive at your house.
I am trying to figure out gauge for the blue sweater I am attempting to knit. Attempting is the key word here. I should be wrapping!
Hugs to you,

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
