April 13th - Hanging Monkey

What is not to love about a monkey?  Monkeys are just the best.  They are cute, cuddly, funny and they like to pick things out of each other's fur to eat!  Again, I ask, what's not to love?

Blog Visitors from the World Over

I am totally excited!  I installed these new widgets on my blog the other day and one of them tells where the people who are looking at my blog are from.  I had people from California, Arizona and two from the UK!  Okay so if you do that math, that's only 4 people, but I am still totally excited about it.  AND I now have 20 followers!  I only need 80 more to reach my goal....come on...you know you want to be a follower too...origami is so fun!  And I'm fun and if you put the two together, you get double fun, so what's not to love about that?  Oh, I think I might have overloaded on the fun...gotta run.

April 9th - 11th - Carnation and Stem

This was a multi-part origami with the carnation and the stem.  Carnations are my least favorite flower.  I really like Gerbera daisies or lilies better, even roses.  But for an origami flower, this is okay.

April 8th - Candy Dish

Notice there is no candy in this dish....my husband and I are planning on starting a new exercise program that is supposed to be REALLY hard core.  So, no candy for me.  I have to get fit to keep up with these little youngins I have running all over the place!

April 7th - Mommy and Baby Bird

I was biting off little pieces of food the other day and then giving them to my 10 month old son and my husband asked me if I was chewing them up like a bird and feeding them to him.  I just didn't have a knife to cut the pieces small enough!  That's a mom for ya!  Make do with what you have!

April 6th - Trout

This is by far the pretties trout I have ever seen.  Trout may taste good, but they are not a pretty fish.  This one looks a little shocked....maybe he is about to be caught!

April 2nd - 4th - Cross Bookmark

This was a 2 day project using an origami technique called the slit form where you cut most of the way through the paper once it is folded in fourths.  With this and the bunny bookmark, I need to find more time to read...and a way to stay awake while I'm reading!
