Canadian Butterflies

On the Art Abandonment page of Facebook I ran across a fellow from British Columbia, Canada who made 2012 butterflies with the message "Find your freedom in 2012" on the back. They also have a magnet strip. Harry was running out of places to put out his little treasures so asked if anyone in the group wanted to help out.

Of course many of us jumped in and said we'd love to put some out there for him!

My batch of beauties arrived late last week. Today I set them free on the metal posts outside of the Trolley Center downtown.

I put them out on my way into my weekly "sit-n-knit" group. I was there a couple of hours and when I returned to my car over half of the butterflies had flown off to new homes. I am hoping the rest will have been taken by the end of the day!

Thanks for letting me part of your cool project Harry!

Summer

Have done a lot of traveling the past two days for medical stuff with kids. I sat for 3.5 hours yesterday while DD had her infusion treatment at Blank Children's Hosp. and did not do even one stitch of knitting, even though I had taken a sock project.

Since I didn't knit, I'll just share this summery photo I took on the Iowa Central Campus last weekend.



It reminds me that I did see a TON of butterflies (and dragon flies) while out driving the roads of Iowa.

Hope you have a great weekend!
