Fritter, anyone (which would have a question mark if I knew what happened to my font that makes them go away from time to time)

So I dropped off three collages at the gallery yesterday for the 12 inches of Christmas show. Didn`t see Mood Swing on the way in so asked – ever so casually, you understand – whether it had sold or not been hung or what . . . . Girl checked the file, walked around behind the [...]

The Evidence

I did some more work on the three collages for the “12 Inches of Christmas”. Here they are:

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Around about the time I got this far, the task chair that Ed repaired before collapsed under me.

If I had little help, I had plenty of sympathy.

I dread falling because it’s a major operation getting up with my [...]

Things that stick with me . . .

. . . a reflection on collage in which she would prove beyond any shadow of a doubt she’s mad if there were any chance of getting downstairs to get the camera and back up to take and post pictures.
Ed’s gone off to Windsor to continue the playhouse project with his SIL, taking yet more [...]

Moment of Truth

So i finally got the wind turbine piece stretched on to a frame. The Ed replaced the heavy one with what I’d specified in the first place and it’s fine.
Problem is I hate the thing! Not the idea – I still like the concept but the execution pretty much sucks. I lost it somewhere and [...]

There’s a lot to be said for humdrum!

I haven’t been this active since the last time a bat got into the bedroom!
I went to the broadcast Monday night alone because Paul slept in (and if you don’t understand how someone can miss a 6:45 p.m. appointment by “sleeping in”, your best friend isn’t a DJ). I sat next to a couple of [...]

Agenda Camp, Windsor, Sunday, October 19, 2008

OK, so Agenda Camp was yesterday. So sue me. I filled in the title first thing in the morning, thinking I might blog through the day but then I ended up taking notes for two sessions and editing them for upload and I was too tired to write anything when I got home after dinner [...]

The best laid plans of mice and other people

Well, the upstairs never did get cleaned but I eventually vaccuumed downstairs and then pretty much fell in a heap. Spent what remained of the day sorting and zip-loc bagging woollen yarn that was just asking to be moth food in its bin. Got another look at what I’ve got and how much of it [...]

I may be an addictive personality. (Ya think?)

It’s not like I didn’t know but my addiction to the Ravelry site has been confirmed this morning since I have been unable to access it and have been equally unable to just shut down and get on with my day! I have cleaned out my “bookmarks”, read blogs I’ve never read before and played [...]

Happy Holidays!

We just got back from a lovely weekend at the SIL’s “cabin” on Round Lake, some way north of Huntsville, Ontario. Good food, good company – but waaay too much riding in The Ed’s old, clunky truck hauling an overloaded (on the way home) trailer. Got in late last night and have done little since [...]

Avoiding Real Work

I have another day at home all to myself! Given that my astrological sign is Cancer, I believe I qualify as a hermit crab. I manged to go downstairs, clean up the kitchen and feed Barney but the rest of the morning (OK – the day; it’s 2:00 p.m. already) has been spent sorting and [...]
