A day in the life of a design….

I have another blog challenge which is to describe your day or your year….given that for the most part the minutiae of my day is pretty boring…extend that to a year and you get 365 days of the same. I think that I would like to tweak it a little and talk about the development […]

Love…..

Another heading in the photography scavenger hunt that I’m in is Love.  I’m getting down to the end. There were 18 headings and after Love I have just 6 more. Of course they are 6 of the harder ones, because I did the easier ones first – go figure! This is a snowman ornament that

When everything old is new again…..

This picture is for the heading “old” in my photo scavenger hunt challenge.  It’s my mother’s doll. My mother died dancing, celebrating my father’s 90th birthday. She was wearing her sparkly dress, her silver dancing shoes and she looked like a “million bucks.” After the Anniversary Waltz and a fast jive number, she was just

Roses are red….

I finally found my red rose. It was hiding in the back of the garden, so I am sending it to you.  I know that you would probably want it on a Monday when things can be a little down.  I always feel that you can get through anything on a Friday, unless of course

WOWstock!!!

I’m just back from Woodstock, which I have re-named WOWstock because of the fabulous time we had there. First the organizers of the festival are just the nicest people – friendly, helpful and appreciative!! Secondly the show has a real “down home” feel about it. It feels like a festival for fleece.  There were fleeces

Hopefully the sun is shining where you are; but if it isn’t here are some blue skies for you.  The sun hasn’t shone here in Toronto in almost a week. I have been popping Vitamin D capsules and “thinking” happy thoughts to dispel the gloom. Here are the pictures taken from the Staples parking lot.  It

Painted Knitting

I have been fascinated by Lynette Meek’s painted knitting.  The link is to her blog where she posts lots of information and by the way, she has a booklet out now on how to paint your knitting. I decided that I had to try some painted knitting, since I have a very nice chunky alpacalicious

It’s no bull – signs work

First I must apologise to any readers who may be vegetarian.  This photo is part of my photo a day challenge.  It’s a neon sign over a butcher’s stall in the St Lawrence Market in Toronto. I took the picture, because to me it “screamed” raw, red meat, as in BBQ’d steak perhaps. For meat lovers especially

Smoke and Mirrors

I wasn’t thinking of writing this photo up – but the more I look at it, the more I see some interesting relationships. It has an other worldliness about it and for people who would like to make their products, services and /or themselves out of this world, here is my take. 1. The photo was
