We are still in the process of moving to the new house (slowly, until we can get a UHaul...) Well the other day I noticed one of the trees in the front yard had some (what look like) little green berries on it. Well when I got closer, they look like little green apples...
We picked one and squished it open. It was all white in the middle. I posted the question at Crochetville and someone said it looks like a walnut tree.... (sigh...) I googled walnut trees, and... it might be
a walnut tree... :( I have always wanted an apple tree in my own yard... Oh well. A walnut tree is nice, too. (Although I will have to send all the nuts to my Mom since I hate walnuts... :P) I could always plant an apple tree, too... There are more trees, in the back yard and two more in the front. They are all pretty dead/dried up looking. Hopefully with some watering and a little pruning, they will perk up nicely. I love trees.
And, here are some more slippers I finished. I was going to do the mock cable slippers, but I didn't have the motivation and wanted to make some different ones. So I crocheted these, instead. Well, technically, I am doing some different ones 'instead' of those, but... These are called 'Festive Slippers', from an old Crafting Traditions magazine. I don't have the issue here, or I could tell you. I did mine in plum and lt. orchid, instead of red and green, though.... The other slippers I am making 'instead' of the cable ones, are these. I really liked the ones my swap partner Miss Kitty sent me, and looked to see if I could find them online (or similar ones). Well I found some very similar (and later found out that was the pattern she used :P):
Desert Boots. So, I am making those in plum. After that I only have one more pair to make for the family I am sending them to. And I will probably make more, to send just to whoever, on the rez.... It doesn't seem like it is cold enough where I live, to where slippers, but my Mom said they are expecting snow in Michigan tomorrow. And I know it has snowed already in other places, too. Yikes! I hope that doesn't mean a bad winter. I can't stand the heat in the summer, but I don't miss winter. Well, until next time everyone.... Have a Great Day.

I don't really know, but seeing other pictures online, like this walnut tree, I can see some differences from your tree.
Those slippers look warm and comfy - and cute as well. I'm sure they'll love them :)
I guess I will either have to wait and see, or take a leaf and one of the green ball thingys :P into a nursery. :)
Thanks for the compliment on the slippers.
I would like to know too ;)
It would be very interesting to have your own walnut tree - though walnuts are not one of my favorites, I like it on brownies and cakes :)
Hee Hee. I hate walnuts. Ever since I was little. My Mom used to put them in chocolate chip cookies, brownies, banana bread... I used to say 'Can't you make it without the nuts? Yuck..' :P
I will try to find out what kind of tree that is, if it's the last thing I do.... ;p I already know one of the neighbors (she actually showed us the house, the first time). Maybe she'll know.
