I just signed up for a fabric inchie swap. I'm coming in on the second round, which is green. (darn it - I missed the first round which was pink!) I'm going to make my own set of pink as my 'practice' squares, so I'll be all primed to make my little greenies.
Melissa Cobb Hubbell of Art Erratica is the hostess with mostess. Her inspiration for this swap came from the blog photo you see to the left. You can click on that photo to take you there.
We made the treck to Portland for Tyler's INS interview. We got up at 3am to leave by 4am, to make sure we were there by 8am, in case there was commuter traffic on the I5. We got there on time and the whole interview lated 10 or 15 minutes. So, we had the rest of the day to toodle around the city.
We went the Chinese Classical Gardens. It was so beautiful. I would go again anytime - it's so peaceful and pretty. Enjoy the slide show.
Yesterday I turned 38. I'm sliding down the slippery slope to 40, pretty darn fast now. It just feels so weird.
One of my favorite things to do on Saturday mornings, like today, is read my fave blogs and see what my fave artists are doing, creating, thinking about. It's almost a bummer when they start getting recognized and they stop blogging and creating art because they are out touring around the country teaching classes or writing books or something. It's a natural progression, and they need to 'out there' - I understand that, but it's a drag that it seems to change them.
Personally, things are changing too.... my friends are moving or changing and well, sometimes I just hate change.
I'm feeling creative this morning, so I'm happy to have the day off to have fun. I've been working hard all week and this will be a great reward.
Over on Flickr, they held an event where people took pictures throughout the day of 5-5-07. You could take as many photos as you liked (last call I saw almost 16 thousand uploaded), BUT you could only submit one to the group for consideration to be part of a book that's published. There are over 7 thousand submissions, and they chose 122 photos to be published - and mine was one of them! Mine was taken shortly after midnight, so it will probably appear in the book in the beginning, as I figure the photos will be laid out chronological. It will be for sale early next week. I'll upload the link when it's ready.
This is the glass house I made for the Habitat for Humanity Auction. This is how it was done:
