I am on the Chesapeake Bay fishing - photo sent from my Blackberry.
Here's some light info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thimble_Shoal_Light
The last remaining structure on what was O'Brien's farm, in St. John's, Newfoundland. This saltbox house is now empty, after the death of the last O'Brien brother. A unique structure in a secluded location of the city. I have a series of photos I will post soon.
More information on the history of this great property.
Irish emigrant John O'Brien designed Thimble Cottage on Nagle's Hill in St. John's around 1850. O'Brien had emigrated from Ireland between 1815-1820 and began to clear 14 acres of land in Freshwater Valley, now located in St. John's.
O'Brien took advantage of a measure by Newfoundland's Governor, Sir Richard Goodwin Keats, to ease the laws against commercial farming in the early nineteenth century. O'Brien established a commercial dairy farm and sold his milk to housewives and shopkeepers in the west end of St. John's. He nearly lost the farm in 1849 after a legal battle fined him £12 for an assault. O'Brien claimed he could not pay the fine and, consequently, his farm was to be sold at a public auction. A public uproar ensued caused by an editorial in Robert John Parson's Newfoundland Patriot in support of O'Brien. As a result, no one submitted a bid on the farm and O'Brien was able to keep his property.
The present structure was the third home built by John O'Brien on his farm. Built for his son Timothy, it would usually take two winters to gather sufficient materials from the nearby forest to build such a dwelling. He made the chimney from locally-gathered stone and sheltered the structure with locally-made spruce shingles. The two-and-a-half-storeyed salt-box house has a sloping roof which makes the structure a single storey at the rear where the kitchen is located. The dwelling is typical of a nineteenth century Newfoundland Irish farmhouse. It is the sole survivor of approximately 20 similar homes that were once common in the Freshwater Valley area.
The O'Briens fought against the forces of modernization to preserve the farm that has been in the family for nearly 180 years. They had rejected million-dollar offers made by potential developers and resolutely defended their property against industrial and residential intrusion.
The Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador rewarded the efforts of Aloysius and his brothers to preserve their land and home in May 1992 when Thimble Cottage was declared a Registered Heritage Structure. This structure was also awarded the Southcott Award for Heritage Restoration by the Newfoundland Historic Trust.
The last remaining brother, Aloysius, recently passed, leaving the home empty. The city has purchased the property with a plan to preserve it.

This was Mike's choice of puzzle, strangely enough: I have absolutely no interest in thimbles!
Unusually for a British puzzle this had 'unique and varied pieces' similar to some US brands. Pretty good quality pieces and a good fit, and complete.

Completed top for the duvet cover - king sized. Nautical stuff isn't normally what I gravitate towards, but I LOVE how it turned out! Hope mom likes it too...!
Model: Jhada
We met when I was on my way to the store with my mom. She was walking (a chick with hair the prettiest shades of blue and tattoos) past and before I know what my mouth was doing, I was calling out to her. Excuse me? Miss? I'm a photographer and...."
I gave her a link to my flickr page so that she could see my work and decide for herself.
We talked and met up Sunday.
I loved that I talked to her. I loved that she said yes. Because wow, has she got stories. And now I get to hear about them.

Some of the Thimbles Made by me during my 20 years as a Hobby Silversmith.
These and the stand were made by me for exhibiting at the Gembouree Gawler 2004.
Sorry for the crabby photo! They are now all gone I had to give up 4 years ago due to ill Health.
I made a soft lambskin leather thimble because I can't get used to the metal one and my middle finger is already ruined by the needle. (a pity - I have my grandma's beautiful thimbles!)
This works quite perfect - just like having a thicker layer of your own skin - and no adjustment time - I'm wearing it as I'm typing this :)
(and even better - a number of improvements comes to mind immediately!)
