Well this week there's a money piece, I actually like the money origami. I wish I had known that type back when I was  florist. I could have made some really cool money trees. This week we have a sitting dog, which is two pieces. A kimono, the dove  of peace made from a dollar bill, a paper hat. That's just a lot of fun, back to childhood days and the last is a base for this weeks pieces. Yes you have to wait until then to find out what it will be.

I got to do some money origami this week. I like doing the money pieces there fun. So I made a dollar bill ring, angel fish, turtle, birthday cake and wallet. I think my favorite is the ring with the turtle being second. There was no weekend piece so it's just the five pieces this week.

This weeks origami I made a couple of flowers, one with a leaf. A leaping frog and a officers helmet. The helmet was the first one of the week and a lot of fun. The flowers are cool too but the frog is really cool. Since it actually does something, you flick it's back and it leaps. A good distance I might add, you do need a level surface to make that happen. There wasn't a weekend piece this time around so only five pieces this week. Next weeks piece should be just as fun.

This week there was a couple of challenging pieces. The elephant is a two piece so I made that over a two day period. We also have a snake, a tiny crane that is actually a puppet. A pair of hot lips, not the best piece but still fun. Then just a practice fold for the new weeks pieces. What I can tell you thus far that the first one of the week is pretty cool. But now you will have to wait until then see you all latter.

Last September I had picked up a Halloween cross stitch piece. My goal was to work on it a little each day and it would be done before Samhain or Halloween. Well that didn't work out as planned. I even worked on it up until Christmas. Then life got complicated and I wasn't able to get back to it until recently. Well it is now done, it's a little black wizard kitty in side a Jack - O - Lantern. With some bat's and a candle to light the area. A cool thing with the kit is they add some silver monofilament thread. This gives an illusion that there is a light inside the pumpkin and the candle flame.

Before Christmas I was able to get all the cross stitching done. I wasn't able to get the back stitching details in. So that is what I have been working on. I think it came out great, one of the things I like the most is doing the details. The whole piece changes after that step and it almost comes alive. A fun piece even if it's a little late or early. All how you look at it.

I actually expected more Easter pieces this week. I did have one little bunny, it is actually a napkin fold. I decided to do it with a square of paper instead. There is also a whale, quaking duck, fish and dog. So you see how I thought there should be more for Easter. No matter it fun week.

This weeks pieces are fun as always. We have a dog, tulip and stem, two different types of folds and a kit or fish base. It all depends on how much folding you do. The last one of course is for the new week. which you have to wait and see what those will be. Till then, have fun.
