If I could be half the person my beloved Gran was I would be happy.
She really was the most amazing woman and there isn't a single day that I don't miss her.
She died of breast cancer so for me spreading the message is very personal.
Miss you Nan!

the sun came out.
it hasn't been around much.
and while I was busy trashing some broccoli that had seen better days, I looked up from the fridge and saw a splash of sunlight on the table. and I ran for my camera. clearly, the broccoli was not in a state to be photographed, but I saw the apples in the bin. hurry, hurry, I grab, I cut, I place, and I manage to snap a handful before the sun disappeared again.
it hasn't come back all day.
but I caught it.

For documentary purposes, and for anyone that may care, I just wanted to talk about the sheet of paper because it took me a while to make it...
A week or so ago I got a letter in the mail... it was from my son. He drew me a picture of a blueberry and signed his name. I took his picture to work with me the next day and hung it up. Everytime I walked into my office I would notice something different amongst his scribbles... but one time in particular I happened to notice the paper he drew it on, and how "neat" the paper itself was. The texture and colors were pretty cool. So when I was setting up this still life, it was going nowhere quickly. I wanted to try to make something happen because my original idea fell apart. That's when I remembered the paper. So I grabbed a sheet of it and started rolling it. I rolled it and un-rolled it, over and over and over again (probably for a good 10 minutes), to make it look like it was "used". Then I randomly ripped the edges. Then I rolled it up and semi-aggressively tapped any edge that was perfectly straight, to try and take the "crispness" out of it. Then I went over to the coffee pot and dug wet coffee grounds out and rubbed them randomly over the surface of the paper. Then I folded the spots that I ripped and a little more agressively rubbed the coffee grounds on those ripped edges so that they darkened more than all other areas. With the paper now a little moist, I rolled it a few more times and then left it rolled until it dried. I think it turned out pretty well, but then again I made it.
"واحتج الآلاف في لندن على مقتل الصحفية شيرين أبو عاقلة "زهرة فلسطين
On Saturday 14 May, thousands assembled in London, both to commemorate the Nakba and also to protest the murder by the Israeli Army of the veteran Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh ("the daughter of Palestine"), while she was covering one of many recent raids by the Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday 11 May, against the West Bank town of Jenin.
SHIREEN ABU AKLEH'S MURDER
"And if they ask you about Palestine, tell them:
In it there is a martyr,
nursed by a martyr,
photographed by a martyr,
sent off by a martyr,
and prayed for by a martyr"
( Mahmoud Darwish)
Initially, Israeli authorities insisted that she had been killed by Palestinian gunmen, but on the ground examination of the video used to support this claim by the leading Israeli human rights NGO B'Tselem, clearly demonstrated that it was taken far from the location where Shireen had been shot dead in the face, despite the fact that she was wearing a flack jacket and helmet, both clearkly marked 'Press.' Other Journalists who were present at the scene also testified that it was Israeli soldiers who fired the lethal shots, and that there was no clash as was first claimed, a claim which was also echoed by the mainstream media in Britain and the United States.
Her murder came just days after the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS), the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) and the International Federation of Journalists had filed an official complaint at the Hague against Israel for 'the systematic targeting of Palestinian journalists,' with an estimate of fifty having been killed in the last twenty years according to PJS records.
Palestinian anger mounted on Friday 13 May, when Israeli police attacked the mourners in East Jerusalem with batons as they exited St. Joseph's Hospital with the coffin on the way to a local church. Al Jazeera's live video coverage and the testimony of witnesses all seemed to indicate that the attack was entirely unprovoked, with no evidence of 'stone throwing' as suggested by Israeli authorities.
Even had there been any such incident, the police action was entirely disproportionate, smashing a window of the hearse to remove a Palestine flag and her coffin was momentarily dropped as the police attacked even the pallbearers. As the assault was broadcast live around the world, it seemed to be yet further evidence of the complete impunity Israel believes it has, due to the almost unconditional support it receives from the United States, Britain and other Western nations. Diplomatic statements of concern are the most severe sanction the West ever imposes.
In a pathetic response to a question raised in parliament, Amanda Milling, Minister of State for Asia and the Middle East, explained that she had 'publicly expressed my sadness upon hearing the news of the tragic death of veteran Palestinian Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh, and called for a thorough investigation... The safety of journalists across the globe is vital and they must be protected when carrying out their critical work.' It seems Israel will once again escape any meaningful consequence for its actions.
However, it's not just that the United Kingdom turns a blind eye to Israeli violence - it also actively supports it.
Israeli pilots are routinely invited to the UK to train alongside the RAF, while the British and Israeli navies also routinely engage in joint exercises, all at a time when Israel's air force regularly attacks civilian infrastructure in Gaza (including Al Jazeera's offices in May 2021) killing 64 civilians since 2010 and when Israel's navy operates to blockade Gaza, where as a consequence one third of essential drugs are unavailable, 54% of the population are food insecure and 95% of the population have no access to safe drinking water.

Israel's largest arms company, Elbit Systems, also continues to run subsidiaries within the UK, and the UK continues to supply Israel with crucial military equipment, particularly for aircraft and radar systems.

COMMEMORATION OF THE NAKBA
Palestine solidarity demonstrations to commemorate the Nakba are held annually in London, usually on the Saturday before Nakba Day (15 May), the commemoration of the forced expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians from their homes by Israel, which accelerated following the declaration of establishment of the state of Israel on 14 May 1948.
Israel's first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion had informed his political and military colleagues that an Israeli state in which Jews made up only 60 per cent of the population was not viable. As Israeli historian Ilan Pappe points out, the obvious implication was that "the fewer Palestinians in a Jewish state the better."
www.versobooks.com/blogs/3809-the-nakba-and-the-ethnic-cl...
The Nakba had already started as early as November 1947 as British forces. which controlled the Palestine mandate, withdrew to the Port of Haifa leaving Jewish paramilitary groups to control the remaining areas. By May 1948 300,000 Arab residents of the areas within Palestine designated to become Israel had already been expelled, including many Arab residents Jaffa, Safad, Beisan, Acre and Western Jerusalem. That amounted to nearly two out of every five Arabs living on what would be Israel's side of the demarcation line. Most of the remainder were forced out of their homes in the subsequent months.
Israel's military ethnically cleansed some 530 Palestinian towns and villages, destroying almost all the mosques and many of the houses and committing appalling crimes against those Palestinians who had chosen to remain despite the threat of violence. It is estimated that some 15,000 Palestinians were murdered.

She has been in the hospital for days with a very serious and very painful staph infection. I don't like to put names into my posts, but this is an exception.
Your thoughts and prayers are much appreciated.
UPDATE Saturday evening: The infection seems to be under control, but the wound still requires cleaning and it is very painful. Thank you for thoughts and prayers.
UPDATE: Alida is out of the hospital and doing very well. Hallelujah!

Yes, this is my falt! :D
Cellandines always remind me of walks with my dad when i was a kid.
We used to go for a walk in the local woods and area and these where some of the first flowers each year.
Dads not with us anymore but the celladines come back year after year to remind me

The florist asked me if these flowers reminded me of my mom...and I hesitated because it was probably true :)
For the best mommy anyone could ever ask for...happy mothers day!
The headline for this photo is perhaps a little misleading but refers back to the late 1970's.
Having seen 50003 before it was named on numerous occasions it remained at Doncaster for quite a time and the only way of finishing my 'set' was to travel to the works for an open day, a bit of a journey from Plymouth. Having obtained a record shot of said loco I waited for it's release back to Laira.
On the late evening of 27th January 1979 I stepped off a train at Plymouth station [having been on the RPPR railtour The Welsh Wizard] and was delighted to see freshly outshopped 50003 sitting in the platform. I could not be bothered to photograph it but at least knew it was back.
Mistake! It had a shunting accident that night and returned to Doni. It wasn't until I had moved to Worcester that I eventually caught up with it again.
Here we see at a later date 50003 Temeraire awaiting attention at Doncaster Works in Febuary 1984

At times, it is even my intention to make dolls a bit more similar, in order to add to the sisterly charm. Such as the pink haired army of Wanderlings that has been growing and spreading over the years. <3 It is a part of sharing, solidarity and togetherness that I long for and strive to achieve and support in this life. When you see a fellow Wanderling appear on your stream, it is my sincere hope you are able to recognize her and say 'hey, that's my sister!'
I know it's not in the swamp and not on a leaf but it's the best I could do for ya :) He even waited for my lens to unfrog. Found him right outside my front door yesterday morning.

So awhile ago, I picked up another Shoushou Doll GouDan head from Licht (when Licht was still selling them which it appears they no longer are). The head was picked up for two reasons. One, we were going to try modding the mouth to be a little more accurate. Wataru is meant to have a lip cleft and while Amet was able to paint it on the original head, we thought it might be fun to actually carve it into the resin.
The second reason was because we were thinking of doing a more fantasy type face up since Wataru is meant to be half-human, half-supernatural creature.
We got the mod on the lip done and even shaved down the nose a little. Then -- we kind of just fell off on doing anything about it due to the school year picking up.
A couple of weeks ago, Amet picked up the head again and I suggested instead of some crazy face up, why not try to make this head look a little more pouty. And so she did.
GUYS, guys! It's ridiculous but this head is even freaking cuter looking worried/pouty. Don't get me wrong. I love the original head. I love his little kitty smile but it's nice to see a different expression.
My girl is a wizard. She really is. It's going to be a lot of fun to actually swap back and forth, I think.

A new project for Alicia who want something around my Little Red Riding Hood... So I plan to make a new variation of this theme, with a lot of assorted machine embroideries by combining some designs.
This set will include a dress, a corseted over-dress, removable puffed sleeves, a jacket, a petticoat and socks.
See you soon!
This image is dedicated to my wonderfully talented friend, Rosina, for her kind heart, beautiful spirit, and for always brightening my day with her awe-inspiring photographs. She wrote me my very first testimonial, for which I am so grateful.
If you aren't familiar with Rosina's work, be sure to check it out. She's one of those super-talented photographers who has an amazing knack of making the simplest things in life look extraordinarily beautiful through the lens of her camera! Thank you for your endless kindness and for being a constant inspiration, Rosina!
It was a little over a year ago when I was in Egypt, and it is a beautiful country with wonderful people. I hope change comes there for them in a peaceful fashion so their wonderful history can be continually enjoyed by others
