I have been absent from Corner View for awhile now. Life's been throwing a few curve balls, and I have been busy swinging away at them. Today's CV theme is "Fauna" The paper fauna started out as Wy wanting to cut out "valentimes". So, rather than use up my printer paper, which he likes to do, we "recycled" some old newspaper. He began to free-hand some unusual shapes that reminded me of fish, and pretty soon I joined him and we ended up with a whole sea full of ocean-living fauna.
On a more sinister note, here is a poisonous snake, known around these parts as a Copperhead, that I killed about a month ago. He is pictured with my weapon of choice (not really, they were all I had handy), a pair of pruning loppers with (thankfully) extendable handles. I hung him on the fence after dispatching him, Texas-style. It's an old Texas legend (and I am a native-born Texan, after all) that if you kill a snake and hang it on the fence, it will rain. And it actually did later that day. Not very much, but it was rain!
Corner View is a weekly appointment, with bloggers from all around this great big world. For more CV's, visit my pal
Francesca over at Fuoriborgo.
I know it's not the 1st of September yet, but I am planning on enjoying the Holiday weekend, like the rest of you. So here is my offering for September....Frankly Scarlet. It is created from a lovely handpainted laceweight yarn called Frolic, lovingly handpainted at Tucker Woods, in the colorway Scarlet O'Hara. Frolic is a yummy 70% baby alpaca, 30% silk. Have a great Labor Day weekend!
