Benitamakes

New, even more mini cross stitch project. I need an ultra tiny cross stitch, so I'm taking one of my Series Two patterns and using 32 count linen to create it. One thread over one stitch. My eyes can only do this for 1/2 hour at a time. #crossstitch #xstitch #crossstitchofbluesky ##wip #benitamakes

Our last frost date is mid May, but I have basil, parsley, oregano, dill, rosemary, thyme, leaf lettuce, and red kale started in my areogarden. I hope to have them ready to eat in time to replant the lettuce and kale for outside. I guess I am trying to give spring the hint it needs to get a move on.

I took the protective covers off my roses and they have baby green leaves. Also, my spirea and lilac bushes are leafing out. Gardening time is soon!

I love your stitching bowl idea. And the little cup for threads. It's handy!

I love Envy apples!

Parsley and basil in their new pots and in the little IKEA greenhouse. I can't wait to take them outside this summer and watch them grow! I planted Bronze Beauty lettuce and Red Ursa kale in their spots in the Aerogarden. #aerogarden #herbs #basil #parsley #kale #lettuce #ikeaminigreenhouse

Basil and parsley are graduating into real pots today, then lettuce seeds in their spots. Dill and rosemary are a no-show, so I started new seeds today. The thyme has sprouted, and so has the oregano (it was first to sprout), but it's being slow to grow. #aerogarden #herbseeds #basil #parsley #thyme

Well, rats. Love the pattern.

My local Lego resale store, It's A Block Party in Greenwood, IN. It's well worth the hour drive to get there. My reason for going are these table. I have spent anywhere from 3-6 hours just digging through these getting just the parts I want. Fun!!! #Lego #legos #itsablockparty #legoresale #legoparts

Basil, parsley, oregano, and thyme sprouted. Basil will go into a pot soon so I can start some lettuce. Still need rosemary and dill to start sprouting. Lots of tasty meals in the future. #aerogarden #growingherbs #freshherbs #basil #parsley #oregano #thyme

Banker's son's Lamborghini on one side and wife's Mercedes G 63 on the other. The bankers "mid-life crises" is in the middle. Guess which one I like the best! Found it on ebay. And, yes, a minifigure can sit in it and drive. #Legomocm12113 #lego #legos #rollsroyce #vintagecar

Got it!

Well, we sure as hell know it's not a hickey.

When I work with metallic threads, I pair a strand with a matching strand of normal floss. The normal thread really helps to controll the metallic one.

Yes, but MAPLE SYRUP!!!

Infinity and beyond!

It's already $3.29 in my area, up from $2.75 just on Saturday.

Please, someone sell these!!!

This is a MOC Lego build that I started yesterday. This is a bank on the first floor, and there will be a two-story apartment for the owner of the bank above. I need some particular pieces to complete the front, but Brickworld is in two weeks. #legomoc #lego #benitamakes #wip #legos #makeitmine

My Montedale spin is getting closer to being done. I have 30 grams (1.1 oz) remaining before I can ply the two bobbins together. This is a perfect fiber to learn spinning with as it is so easy to spin. I think I'm going to weave overshot with it. #spinning #Montedale #spinningwool #ilovewool #wool

I love vintage dolls, and this one needs serious help. Someone superglued her body fabric to her china chest, back, and shoulders. I managed to soften the glue enough to scrape it and the fabric free from the china. #vintagedolls #chinaheaddolls #dollrepair #benitamakes #wip #ilovevintagedolls

That is so beautiful!!!

Damn, you clean up good! 🤩

I have loved Buddy Guy's music since I first heard it back in the 90s.

The colors remind me of those 1960's psychedelic rock band posters. I really love this.

WOW!!

Yay!!!

I love a good pineapple!

Baby oregano!! The first of the herbs to sprout in my Aero Garden. Come on, basil, dill, rosemary, and parsley, which one will be next? #aerogarden #herbs #oregano #growingherbs #indoorgardening #hydroponic #hydroponicgarden

The Mercedes G 63 is done and the banker's wife is on her way to tell off a manager somewhere. She has her poodle with her for security. #lego #legos #mercedesg63 #benitamakes #amg #legomercedes #Legobuilders
