my crafty night

First of all, I hand dyed the most beautiful sock yarn ever!!! Well, at least I'm pretty proud of it. Of course I can't take a decent picture of it, but I think the colors come through. I dyed this yarn for my Secret Pal, but I may have to make another skein for myself! Second, I learned how to make balloon animals. We need people to make balloon animals and do face painting for the kids before the arthritis walk, and I recruited people to do so, but no one knows balloon animals, so I learned so I can teach them. That was the longest run on sentence ever. I made a sword, a dog (red) and an elephant (white) but the elephant's tail is long and dog like, and the angle isn't great to see the big elephant ears.
