Progress,Spools, and Pirates

Yesterday I finished a goofy little project that has no real purpose but I had a need and I went with it. My thread consumption has skyrocketed since I started quilting and as a result I have a rather large empty spool collection. I wasn't sure how I would utilize them initially but one day as I was trying to corral my precious yarn balls, I thought "yarn and spools...hmmm..." Here is the result. I glued a bit of every color yarn I had onto the thread spools and then strung them on a length of black ribbon.
What it is I do not know. An upcycled spool yarn garland?
Now where should it hang? Maybe I need a crafty tree?

In the meantime the "Sea Glass and Snow" afghan is coming along quickly. Well it was... until carpal issues started flaring.I have had to set it aside for a few days.

Oh...here is a sneak peak of something special my super duper hubby made for me...

It is all finished except for the decorating which I am going to take my sweet time doing.

The pesky pirates have taken up residence already! He should sweep up while he is in there. ;0)

Facebook or Flickr?

I was wondering today why it is that I enjoy playing with Flickr.com so much more than Facebook.com. Several friends and family kept pestering me to get on Facebook so I tried it out...I am not impressed. I didn't think I would be and I was right. It is useful in the sense that I can keep in constant touch with some people who I otherwise wouldn't hear from but I don't enjoy spending time reading about the mundane things folk do, such as feeding their cat, going to the gym or doing their laundry. Nope, it just isn't interesting to me. Flickr however is a whole different thing. I am having so much fun posting photos and looking at other peoples photos. There are some amazing photographers out there.

There is a group on Flickr called "The Secret Life of Toys", I looked through it a few days ago and found myself giggling like a school girl so I took a few shots myself. Here is one of them...he he

I need help with creative captions. Can you help me?

Yeah...I am not interested in the boring things people do but playing with toys is fun!
