Alien Invaders

I have a small garden. Enough for my Hubby and myself. I have a couple tomato plants and a few pepper plants (bell pepper and poblano pepper). The tomato plants are really covered with tomatoes in various stages of growth. And it won't be but about two weeks before the first ripe ones will be on the table! YUM!!

The pepper plants are doing equally well. The green peppers are everywhere. I picked the first one over the weekend.

But, I have been battling an alien looking invader the last week on my tomato and pepper plants. It is the Tomato Hornworm.



This nasty looking creature will strip a plant of its leaves in no time. So Hubby and I have been keeping a close eye on the plants and picking off any and all invaders. Sorry catepillars, the 'maters and peppers are ours!

A 'Sweet' Surprise!

Every month, Amelia of Sweet B Folk Art has a giveaway on her blog. She'll post something about CANDY and a winner will be drawn from one of those that leaves a comment on that CANDY post. Well... I was last month's winner! WOOHOO!!!! I won the cutest Lollipop Baby!

And to my surprise, she threw in a few extras.

THANK YOU BUNCHES, Sweet B!!! I Love my Lollipop! (And Licorice, and Shrooms, and Christmas Cone, and Owl ribbon)

You really must stop by her blog! She has a picture of her new BABY - Henry Royce Schaefer! Welcome to the World!

A Skelly Head ~ In the Mail?

Caroline of Caroline's Crafts recently celebrated her 100th post with a giveaway. And I, of course, had to enter! She was giving away choice of two wonderful creations - a hand felted Pumpkin or a hand felted Skelly Head. I was so excited to find out that I had won!!! WooHoo!!! I chose the Skelly Head (I had to break out of my pumpkin rut). He came in the mail over the weekend. (Now wouldn't the postman be so surprised to know that he delivered a Skelly head to me??)

Isn't he just the CUTEST thang!?

Thank you Caroline! Beautiful work!

Solstice Greetings!
