Life

This post is going to jump around a lot, and doesn't have many pictures. I've got a LOT to cover.  Do you ever look back at old pictures of yourself and just cringe? Like whole body cringe? I have so many past pictures that cause involuntary facial spasms, especially from the 80s and 90s. What was I thinking? Was that the ACTUAL STYLE of the times, or was I just "eclectic"?? Yesterday I had many similar thoughts as I looked back on this blog. Why did I use that blog template? What made me chose that title? Why did I think X, Y, or Z was a good topic to post about? Did I do photo shoots in a cave? Let's be real... some of these pictures are so bad I can't believe I posted them. Not that I'm a banging photographer now, but at least my photos aren't so dang DARK. One of these days maybe I'll invest in an actual camera setup.  I'm leaving the old posts/photos for several reasons. It's fun to look back on and see my thought processes of the time

It would appear that I only post during certain favorite holidays, but I'm sure *cough, cough* that will change with the coming of the new year!

Hello!

I'm baaaack! And just in time for Halloween, too! I promise I won't be spewing pea soup, though. Lots to tell everyone, and a couple of projects in the works. More soon--hopefully this weekend!

2015 Texas Miniature Showcase - A Retrospective (2 months later)

Image
The Miniature Showcase is held each year here in Dallas, usually the first weekend of May. I had Such. Great. Hopes. for this year's miniature event. Alas, they were not to be realized (in totality, anyway). I should've known/expected something to be up once Rik's class was cancelled--especially since I was able to sweet-talk my hubster into letting me spend that kind of cheddah on the enrollment fee. (BTW, Rik has gone through surgery just fine and is well on the way to recovery... hooray!) But no. Silly me, I had to continue thinking everything would turn out just peachy with a side of keen.

Miniature Floral Arrangements

Image
I love making flowers. Like, love LOVE making flowers. So I thought I'd share an arrangement that I made recently for LaJuanna, who is one of the Board members of our miniature club. Her birthday was Wednesday, so I gave it to her at our meeting on Monday night.

Eye Candy

Image
It's already February! 1/6 of the year has gone by. I'm not even sure how to begin feeling about that, though I do know I should blog more. Ahem. Anyway, this weekend I went to the Society of American Miniaturists (SAM) birthday party in Austin, Texas. It was great fun meeting many of the ladies I'd heard about, and there were lots of samples of past birthday party projects. Apologies in advance for the photo quality. The lighting in the meeting room wasn't the best, and most of them were in dust cases and I couldn't get away from the reflections. This quilt shop was one of my favorites. I love the way Kendra did the outside of the box.
