  • A little something I learned

    1. Direct light
    2. Diffused light
    3. Filtered light
    4. Blocked light

    I would explain all of them to you, but then I’d have to charge you for the class!

    I’ve used them all and just didn’t know that is what I was using… I am now going to get a reflector and a diffuser, a.k.a. a  board covered in tinfoil and a white handkerchief since that’s what I can afford right now!

    We are off to the BIG city to visit family and Cooper is going to get a ride on Thomas the Tank Engine.

    I have laundry to get back to or I am going to have naked monsters running wild in the Motor City!

     

  • BEWARE THE HYPOTHETICAL part 6 1/2 and some randomness

    Wanna see what’s in the works now?

    I’m going to show you anyway.

    It’s one of the fourteen inch rounds I am making for my sister.

    The branches and other leaves are cut out now too and mostly foiled…

    I’m too lazy to take another picture right now.

     I get to go to my first photo class tonight.

    It is LIGHT The third leg…

    I know, sounds, interesting doesn’t it.

    I am off to try and learn something, and I might stop hiding behind my chair long enough to say hello to someone.

     I haven’t decided yet.

    The play list for today:

    Indigo Girls

    Chicago greatest hits

    Fiddler on the Roof

    and

    Indigo Girls.

    Alright I was thinking about the hypothetical and it occurred to me that we are living with one GIANT hypothetical on a daily bass right now.

    Yes, yes we are.

    If you had the opportunity to choose the first woman president or the first black president, which would you choose?

    I know!

    Tough one.

    Well put it out there people!

  • DOOR! !! ! !! ! UGH!

    I missed another one!

    Mlbncsga had a door up for Cinqo de Mayo . It’s a great door.

    Trying to keep track of doors and get work done is proving too much for me! If you post a DOOR please send me a message and let me know and I will be sure to link it! Thanks you guys!

    Lilms Sassy has a DOOR up!

  • They’re here!

    first trilliums.jpg

    I’ve only seen them in this one spot so far.

    I was trespassing… just a little, to get these couple of shots.

    In another week I bet they will be out ALL over!

    That means the Morals are out too!

    Mushrooming time! Woo hoo!

    field lines.jpg

    I Love it when the fields look like this.
    They remind me of giant quilts.

    I want to run home and whip out my machine and fabrics every time I see them.

    Not like I don’t have twenty other things that I need to do.

    I’m getting it all done. I am!

    What is your FAVORITE thing about this time of year?

  • MAIL ART and other things…

    On Friday I got a fun surprise in the mail!

    this and that 073.jpg

    A piece of mail art from Bianchistreet!

    It is a pin there is a flower embossed in the paper.

    I am scared to take the tape off because I don’t want to rip the pin… so I am going to enjoy it this way for while and someday I will take it apart and wear it.

    THANK YOU SANDRA!

    We are taking care of George for my parents this week.

    Today Cooper and I took him for a walk in the woods.

    Before we went down the trail Cooper told George the rules.

    Stay on the trail.

    Come back when Mom says.

    Don’t Poop on the trail. (THIS is what he is saying in the picture.)

    Don’t pee where people can see you.

    Cooper didn’t notice that George didn’t pay attention to that last rule.

    I let them both off the leash and away we went.

    It was a good day.

    this and that 069.jpg

    This is George bug watching… I know it isn’t a great shot… I just thought it was cute.

    He looks like a puppy instead of the old man that he is.

    I’ll need to give him a couple of baby aspirin in the morning.

    He was walking very gingerly by the time we got home.

    I might have to take some myself.

     

  • Every year for Christmas Ben gets me a Chieftains CD to go in my stocking.

    On rainy days the kids and I will put one on  and dance like wild ones in the kitchen and around the house.

    Just thought I would share something I like with you guys.

    What makes you dance like wild ones?

    I mean music… not someone setting your toes on fire or an ant in your pants…

  • 3 tree and deer

    I spy eleven deer…

  • finished glass 007.jpg

    finished glass 008.jpg

    There is what I can show you of IT…

    It is three feet by two feet six inches.

    The biggest thing I have ever done.

    (I WON”T be doing anything that large again if I can avoid it.)

    I will try to get a picture of it after its hung up.

    I’m actually a little tired of looking at it right now.

    Tomorrow is a day off and then it will be time to do the

    three fourteen inch rounds to finish the order.

    It was a good day.

    Hope yours was too!

  • RELIEF

    It is OUT OF HERE!

    Finally done and packed up and in the car on its way to its destination…

    I have a picture of it that I will post later… right now I really, really NEED A NAP!
