Rocking and relaxing on the front porch just watching the world go by
is the very definition of Southern easy living.
My mom's best friend gave this rocking chair to me when I was born (1976). I remember it always being in my room when I was growing up. It's a special edition but my mom couldn't remember who made it because the sticker was taken off. The middle spindle (is that the correct word?) is missing, I don't even remember when it came out.
I love this chair - when I have a little daughter someday I'll give it to her!
Cold nights in November reminds me of growing up in Michigan. On those cold nights we always had a fire in the fireplace that provided warmth and wonderful atmosphere, especially around the holidays. I tried to recreate that warm cozy feeling with this week's image. I put together a few elements for this still life image near a replica of a wood burning kitchen stove. I wanted to create the look of a snug place to curl up and read a book on a cold winter night. I call it "By The Firelight."
I created the image in my kitchen using one tungsten light source. The light was feathered away so most of the light illuminated the open Bible and not the stove. The authentic elements in the image are the chair, which is an antique rocker, the lantern, a carrier for coal, (the edge is in the bottom left corner) and the blanket, which was handmade by my daughter. I used my Canon SX40IS, ISO 100, f8, 1/4 second, on a tripod.
I hope you have a warm cozy spot to enjoy with friends and family this Thanksgiving.

....until I came to this corner in my hand sewing... Since I have tried to work around it to no avail it looks like all will have to be taken apart and redone.
this bear is old and has been with me since i was a child along with the rocking chair too now I come to think of it. Not even sure what i named him (isn't that sad?), maybe Gary; not sure why. Maybe my school child crush on Gary Dinnigan lol

This chair belonged to Emma's grandma when she was a little girl...now Emma likes to rock in it when she visits!
I finally hung up her little growth chart. I just need to fill it in now. :D
