this is my mom, she's a quilter and she carried me for 9 months and puts up with my shit and for that.... that makes her a bad ass.
This little rocking chair has been in my family for decades. My mom isn't quite sure when it showed up, but several of her seven siblings sat in it as little kids. My cousins and I sat in it as kids ourselves; I have a picture of me in it when I was about five-years-old.
This picture is a dual homage. First, to my family for keeping this treasured heirloom and for giving it to me to share with my son. Second, to raewillow who creates the most beautiful images with old chairs. They are among my favorite flickr images.

Mom & I at my aunt Patty's house, she lived on Broccoli St. I still find that really entertaining.
Roseburg, OR; 1984
This Indian Rocking Chair belonged to Edward V. Bridge. We have no reliable information on the origins of this unique piece, but we believe that it may have been used in his photography studio.
I restored this chair and a mate for my mother. They belonged to her mother. Not sure of their age but I know they are fairly old. I like the green and the end caps were a nice touch. Wish I could find a few more.
The public art project this year is wooden rocking chairs. This one has traditional Norwegian rosemaling painting. I think it's very pretty!
Cartoonist Baby will be sleeping in a cosleeper bassinet in our room for at least 4 or 5 months, but her room is already underway:
--Masheka painted the walls a lovely shade of Benjamin Moore "Sweet Butter" yellow (low VOC, of course).
--The rocking chair is the same chair my mom rocked me in when I was a baby--she just refinished and recovered it.
--The crib is IKEA's Gulliver crib. Don't worry--we know there should be no stuffed animals or quilts in a crib when the baby is sleeping in it, they're just on display for now. (My mom made the quilt).
--On the door you can see three of the Mei Tai style baby carriers my mother made for us.
Obviously we have a lot more to do--hang artwork, for one. But it's a great start! I'll put up pics of the guest bed and the dresser later.
Terence Trent d'Arby's - Dance little sister - first sentence; Get up outta your rocking chair Grandma, comes is my mind.
saw this tucked in the Hospitality Room and sat down to snap some shots of it. Just really liked the quiet and simplicity of the scene.

Rocking chair from the late 19th century that's been in my family for generations. It's not worth anything, having been painted and refinished multiple times, but it's very comfortable, as far as unpadded wood chairs go.
We stopped at the Hancock Shaker Village, just over the border in Massachsetts. There is a village of restored, original buildings with Shaker artifacts. They valued simplicity and this rocking chair is a typical design. The strong colours are not atypical, Shakers liked bright colour.
Merry Christmas to my Flickroo friends! See you start of the New Year ( unless there is an awesome picture to share).

High school art students were asked to piece together scraps of wood, on a base of wood, to create clocks. This is one of the top entries for that project.
Created by Mississippi Master Chairmaker Greg Harkins of Vaughan, who makes chairs using 19th century techniques.

This is no longer the state's largest rocking chair. A new one was built in 1995 by Dedeaux Family Furniture in Gulfport.
Displaying understated elegance while offering sheer comfort,the Sleepytime Rocker will give your nursery or any room in your home a classic,cozy feel. Use it to pamper yourself fatigue will fade from your body as soon as your back touches the wide backrest and you are held snugly by lushly cushioned seat and armrests. But more importantly,you get the support you need for while you are swinging your baby to sleep or reading bedtime stories to your toddler. The water resistant and anti static microsuede fabric,available in various colors,makes for easy cleaning and maintenance.
The most recent chair to pass through our workshop. Nice comfortable chair with just the right amount of rock, and nice and low, too. Probably a nursing chair originally - I like the idea of sitting on it with a baby, rocking gently back and forth.
My choice for We're Here today 'Empty Chair'.
This isn't the photo I wanted to take today but after a very painful day this is all I can manage.
I chose the topic today because it would have been my Grandad's 104th Birthday and he was a great great man. Being a chartered accountant before and after leaving his position as the director of the Bristish Steel Corperation my earliest memory was of him sitting in his study at his desk in his chair. When he died seeing his empty chair tucked under his desk was heart breaking.
If we lived somewhere else, I would have brought home this rocker, today. But like the giver, we live in an apartment too small (772 square feet) to take on another piece of furniture. How grand and—by my wife’s estimation—”antique” is this fine piece of craftsmanship and upholstery.
Surely giving up something sentimental—”My G’ma’s”—makes the freebee all the more poignantly placed. May the new owner treasure, rather than resell, the chair, in which Annie sat and proclaimed its comfort and sturdiness. Location: Adams Avenue, just East of Park Blvd, in San Diego neighborhood University Heights.
This photo’s title derives from Steve Miller Band single “Rock’n Me“ (www.stereogum.com/2058688/the-number-ones-steve-miller-ba...), which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for a single week in November 1976. The song isn’t one that particularly appeals to me and yet here I am giving it a round-about plug.
Perhaps grandma rocked to the song in her youth. You never know, eh?

Looks like my dental guard is getting very expensive. I got it on Thursday and alredy have some problems with it - on Saturday, of course, when it's hard to find any dentists and everything costs extra.
This was the only place I found and I must say I relaxed a little when I stepped in. Heard the dentist talking to another patient, she sounded very friendly and had a nice German accent.
I hope the problem is now fixed and the worst pain stays away. There's still something that needs to be done and I'm going back on Wednesday. Wish my public dentist would've done a better job with this guard thing. It's hard to know who to trust when you know nothing about the matter.
If everything goes well now, I think I have found myself a new dentist. Pricey, needless to say. But it's so much better to get everything done well at once than doing the same thing over and over again. That's actually even more expensive and very frustrating. I've had enough problems with my stupid teeth.

My interpretation. As a stay-at-home mom my 'workplace' is my home, so I decided it doesn't have to be my workplace.
