Nopales and More

On September 29, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard

So when Panda fell into the nopales in Peru, he said they were just like the ones at Carlos and Kate's house... ..and he wasn't terribly far from the truth. This is the one from Carlos and Kate's house. (We still don't know how Panda actually got that information, but anyway.) I thought it would …

Gems on the Sidewalk

On September 25, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard

No, I did not say "germs" on the sidewalk, although I'm sure they are there, too... Here's a nice picture of my "whimsical" backyard, ("pre-mosaic curb", I might add, if you look closely at the back corner). In the foreground, you might also be able to see spaces between the cement areas that make up …

Babies!

On September 21, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts

What could be more fun than babies? The answer is simple: More babies!Which brings me to one of the projects I did with "my girls" over the summer. ("Second Childhood, Part 2" was another fun one, in case you missed it.)You may remember that I showed you all these baby socks awhile back, when I was …

ABC Animals Part 4

On September 15, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

Have you ever seen a numbat? Neither have I, but I'm getting pretty good at Googling "Animals that start with...", and for the letter N, I found numbat. You might think it would be some kind of bat, but it looks pretty much like what you see here. (I will say that it's kind of …

The Dark and Stormy Night

On September 13, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Foster and Panda

It was a dark and stormy night. (It wasn't, really.  I've just always wanted to write that.) It was a fine, clear, fall night, much like tonight, as a matter of fact. I was apparently the only one up, and so I decided to take the opportunity to go in the living room and look …

The Long and Winding Curb

On September 9, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard

Have you ever just wanted to smash a plate? Me neither, really. But after playing with glass gems and grout on my "Whimsical Mushroom", and after my sidewalk patch "mosaic", I got another idea...Wouldn't it be so fun to make a mosaic on the little strip of curbing in the back corner of the yard …

Cousin Tom Cat’s Adventure, Part 2

On September 5, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Uncategorized6 Comments

Hi everyone! Today Panda and I have some sad news to share with you about my "cousin", Tom Cat. You might remember reading my post "Cousin Tom Cat's Adventure", where I told you how Mom's sister's cat got stuck in the neighbor's shed for a week last year. If not, feel free to read it …

Where the Sidewalk Ends (or Begins?)

On August 28, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard

Remember when I told you how fun it is to play with wet cement? Well, I still had some cement left over from "Just Add Water", so I got an idea...I have several places in my "whimsical" backyard where the cement is broken, and it looked like I had enough cement left to fill at …

Second Childhood, Part 2

On August 27, 2018March 3, 2023 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts

How many of us loved paper dolls as kids? Probably, most of us. But how many of us still have those paper dolls? Or, at least their clothes? Most likely that number would be a bit smaller, dare I say, narrowed down to the same people who would still have this tiny troll doll with no …

A Whimsical Mushroom

On August 21, 2018May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard

What could be more whimsical than mushrooms? I mean, even in real life they are whimsical, as you can see in this picture I found on http://www.pixabay.com.But they are even more whimsical if you draw them, because then you can have whimsical insects too. And if you are like Panda, you just might get stuck …
