Finally put up my quilt design wall (aka two pieces of white felt held up with push pins) and experimented with it.
Decided that I need to find my bigger piece of flannel to use instead!
Making ATCs with chocolate easter egg wrappers, fabric flowers and scraps and other stuff lying around. (And not getting distracted from spring cleaning in any way.)
The pegs are many years old. I used Picasa to crop the photo square. And Paint.NET plus the Color Balance plugin by BoltBait to change the colours a little--from bright and fresh to warm and inviting.
This layout was scraplifted from one by PaulaSG titled “Pure Joy” featured in the Designer Digitals gallery.

Thanks for looking!
(Mar. 2009) Use your old-school red-cyan 3D glasses to view. This is the last of the Spring Cleaning 2009 series. Yeah, parts are a bit washed out, but I like the layers and confusion of reflections.
Spring Cleaning 2009 Series: Since I haven't been posting very much since I got my new computer and my photos got disorganized, I did a spring cleaning and organized stuff and found some half-decent shots that I had not posted.
Lest you think we're overzealous, we confine our spring cleaning to just the elk inside the visitor center. We let the rest of the elk out on the Refuge fend for themselves!
The running elk diorama is the one of the most popular displays inside the Jackson Hole & Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center.

a kind of yucky shot of the tapes in the cans - the light is awful today!
I love my bias tape. it's a magical substance.
And the hair comes off once again…
Started out at 16mm, but then the dial slipped and I ended up at 9mm for evenness.
(Aug. 2008) "The Passing Song" sculpture by Catherine Widgery, done as a planet using a collage of images (I can't remember how many).

I've taken other photos of this sculpture.
At the end of the day, there were still heaps of cool items that we were able to donate to Goodwill. Success!

I found this while cleaning today. It's unfortunate I never used it. I don't think the stores are around anymore. Pity.
(Mar. 2009) On a relatively cold (about -10°C) but magical day walking in the Mount Royal Cemetery. Here is some froth created by bubbles running under the ice and coming through cracks.

Green Clean Day at the Ross School of Business on Friday May 19, 2013 on a beautiful day in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan.
My goal was to get through my entire closet. I set the rule that everything had to be tried on unless it had been worn in the last six months. No more skipping over things or stuffing them in the back, saying "Oh, that probably fits. I'm sure I'll wear it again." That strategy meant that I had clothes dating back to my first marriage... a long, long time ago.
I got rid of my caregiver wardrobe (machine-washable jumpers with pockets, to hold prescriptions) and most of my consultant wardrobe. It was hard to part with the consultant clothes -- they were expensive and beautiful. But assuming I ever pick up my Coach briefcase again, I can't go into a meeting looking like this. I had one jacket that almost reached my knees. Why did we dress that way... why??
Now that I think of it, I got rid of almost everything on this list. It went to my favorite thrift store where some teenager will squeal with delight over the 80s treasures she'll find. Yes, I still had a few shoulder-pad classics.
I didn't make it through the whole closet. By the time I reached evening wear, I was exhausted. I'll save that for another day.
While on the topic of keeping oneself up to date, kudos to Pete for telling me about Young@Heart. He sent me a link to their covers of "I Wanna Be Sedated" and "Staying Alive." (Don't miss the female solo -- awesome, funny, heartwarming and heartbreaking.)
I love their version of "Schizophrenia" too. Rock on!
The summertime heat in the Mojave Desert can make it difficult to give your windows a thorough cleaning, and the August monsoon season can make windows especially dirty with water spots, mineral deposits and outdoor dirt. Add to the natural elements the effects of spiders, insects, pets, dust,...
