Fences

Not sure why, but fences have always fascinated me. These are from my walk on Saturday morning.

A Picture I Love and Wanted to Share

This was taken in Italy, Epcot, Disney World.

Capital T and that Rhymes with P...

• Discovering that today is free food day: as in cookies, cream cheese cakes, brownies, watermelon, quesidillas, coke, popcorn, pizza, etc.
• Sexy harem jitsu.
• Finding yet another way to pimp out a crafty friend. I'm a mad, maaad woman.
• Paying $1.00/lb is good, especially if it is for a textbook that you will carry with you wherever you go to help you lose any weight that you didn't lose while having mono this summer.
• Getting to make ten postcards.
• A possible museum trip.
• Watching your friend's face light up when she finds a $5 bill on the ground.
• Watching the number of pirate friends I have grow.

Postcard Swap!

I have an assignment:
Make ten postcards for ten women on the theme 'beginnings' and mail them by September 1st.
What does 'beginnings' mean to you? I'm expecting I will use lots of glitter, and feathers - possibly a bit of nail polish.

I Never Did...Oh Wait...Maybe I Did

The other night I finished organizing my work/craft/computer/play room. I can hang up pictures, I can work on different projects, all boxes have been sorted and old stuff thrown out. It's such a high. So, last night I went about completing a scrapbook that I started why back in 2002. Yeah, most of the names I forgot. But with memories names don't matter. Kind of like epiphanies: you don't worry about the specifics, just the idea and the inspiration to get you there.

They Don't Believe Me

Yesterday it rained and rained. Perfect time to finish reading "Holy Cow" (see my review of the book here). Afterwards, I attempted to start up my sewing machine. Threading the machine isn't the problem so much as threading the bobbin. When I couldn't find the manual, I asked Glenn to help. (Yes, he is quite capable of threading a bobbin.) But we couldn't get the needle and bobbin to work together...so clearly this means I will be dancing naked at Shimmy Fest. ;) Other than that...I'm excited about the possibility of purchasing "The Great Ewok Adventure" on DVD. Oh yeah, and getting to the theatre when it's not crowded...maybe next week? When we saw "Die Hard" the other week, I heard a girl outside say, "This is the first time I've ever had to stand in line for tickets at a theatre in Arkansas."
*giggle*

Come Away With Me

There is a quiet place...where the fair go to play...all are beautiful and serene...until the evil come to stay!



Fly away!



Yesterday morning a bunch of girlies got together and dressed up as fairies. My friend Lena did an amazing job tromping thru the woods after us! You can find more of her wonderful photos here!

His Name is Thurston

I would love to make more animals and dolls out of wood but I don't know if I have the necessary tools, and wood can be expensive. I might be hanging out at Hobby Lobby oggling the kits or stalking around eBay.

Meet My Elephant

I spent a lot of time on him this last month. Researching elephants. Thinking about elephants. How many types of elephants are there? How do they function? I'm surprised I didn't have dreams of elephants. But I did watch about five seconds of a very disturbing video on youtube where someone is 'training' the elephant and the phrase "hook him!" is shouted. Too scary.
His eyes pivot so that he can no longer see. Then an extra trunk comes out of his back. It's evolution!!! Now, a picture extravaganza!




















































Oh! If only someone could help give him a name!

Zipping the Purse Up

• Watched the Pirate Movie
• Dyed my hair by myself. Sophie kept peeking in.
• Lost power. Glenn fixed it.
• Ate crab!
• Measured. Cut. Bent a blade. Cut again. Sanded. Glued.
• Got belts! And a sailor wallet!
• Got a great deal at Pier One.

What Would You Do?

Sometimes I want to paint the ceiling green and put a bunch of fake flowers up there. Maybe sting a bee or two, and butterflies.

My Sense of Taste

If I tell you that I've redecorated and want you to come over to see the new digs - beware. I've been known to have the taste of a black and white movie set director. In theory, it looks great, but certain colors and patterns just should not be seen together. For example, one of the best houses I have ever seen (in the movies) was Pee Wee Herman's in PeeWee's Big Adventure. The front yard was a bit much. I prefer to have a nice layout with a good path to walk if I am to view a collection of lawn gnomes. Sometimes I wonder if that was how they decorated too. By texture and shadows, not by color. So, I took a still from the movie The Philedelphia Story. And I colored over it. Keep in mind that I need to hone my photoshop skills. But, wouldn't it be more interesting if houses really used color?

As Promised

Here is the picture of the hat that I worked on yesterday. It's hot off of the crochet needle!

And, I am not drunk.

Happy Thanksgiving!
