3 - D Crochet Amigurumi

Amigurumi  is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small, stuffed yarn creatures.  I learned this thru video and periodically teach these skills at the Public Library. 

Raising BUtterflies

From Spring to Autumn, I raise butterflies, in large screened containers.  They are placed with their host plants in larvae stage and released 10-14 days later as adults.  Of course, my gardens are home to many pollinators, but butterflies rule there.
