This photo made it to today's Vancouver Sun. I would have cropped it lower than they did, though: gastropost-files.s3.amazonaws.com/newspaper/vancouver/201...
This nuno felted wrap was created with stunning hand dyed fabric and fibre I received as a fantastic present from friends and members of Feltmakers Ireland! The colours are beautifully subtle, all I need now is a striking pin to use as a closure.
This is the wrap skirt from "Sew What! Skirts" It was super easy to
make. However, I would recommend cutting one extra strip for the
waistband/tie. Mine was a bit short - I'm able to tie it, but there is
not much left over! Next time, I will cut 3 strips instead of two and
then trim later. You can see here that the wrap ends in the back and
there is plenty of coverage, so no peek-a-boo situations! Another idea
would be to line that one panel with a different fabric so when it does
blow in the wind - like above - it would show. Loving this book!
Bales of corn cobs, leaves, husk and some stalk are loaded onto a conveyor where the net wrap is removed. The material is then sent to a grinder.

You know? Working from home (WFH) is really something, kinda hard to put into words, it comes with pros and cons though. Enough said, I will try to enjoy the rest of weekdays for sure.
Some of you might thinking what a flexible job i have, well all I've to tell you is, "OOOH HELL YES, MY ANKLE SPRAIN BADLY ... " It is really bad day last Saturday. I bet someone cursing me... It just happened so sudden, when i was reading sms text, on my way stepping down staircase, missed out one of the step and fell down. Immediately caused ankle sprain badly both left and right sides, it is ligament and cartilage injured terribly....
(Like pig feet if you could picture that)
Along wifey companied, she brought me to traditional chinese medical clinic, a chinese physician consulted my ankle problem. After couple conversations had made, he then started the acupuncture parts for about 20 minutes. He added that very unfortunate but yet lucky enough that i didn't have the message / rub at the very first attempt. That kinda session is always prohibited, always goes to acupuncture or electro-acupuncture to ensure it doesn't burden the injury. I then got my right ankle wrapped with chinese ointment heavily stench of course.
My direct superior quite understandable, he suggested working from home for this week just to avoid the further injure. Have the foot completely rest and less movement will be ideal. My brain and both hands and fingers shouldn't be affecting my daily BAU (Business As Usual) daily tasks. I always wonder how people working from home, was it fun? Well, i can tell you it isnt fun at all, given that my current situation. The only pros, i dont need to travel, i have a short distance for attending the nature calls, and lastly i dont need to dress up nicely. Where cons, the internet connection is far way beyond i could imagine, given the current infrastructure setup, my vDesktop sitting at US, sluggish and lagging is always my biggest challenge.
On further note, i learned the way on how a mac client remote in citrix environment. I encountered couple things, and i managed to solve it especially the dual-screen resolution, the older ICA client version could jeopardize my patience when i am talking 2 monitors perspective. How will you tackle 1440 x 900 and 1280 x 1024 issues on both mac mixture with DELL screens. I'd never learn till i faced it myself, i am grateful i had the opportunity to experience all these stumbling block, but I am enjoying it...
I had 2 with those acupuncture and electro-acupuncture sessions, this coming Saturday morning will seeing another chinese physician at Raffles Hospital. Hopefully he will able to shorten my painful days.

I wrapped my head in quite a bit of saran wrap, tried to breathe and snapped as many photos as I could before I passed out. The results were just what I was looking for.
Blythe was shocked to learn that bubble wrap was first invented to be wallpaper! 😮 and now days it has been used for art projects, home decor and even fashion … oh my! Still, it’s mostly satisfying to just pop it !! Pop pop pop
I made this from my own pattern with just a few measurements! It overlaps in the back & has a button hole in the waistband to pull the long ties through! I may start selling these in my Etsy shop!
The annual London to Brighton Veteran Car Run is scheduled for the first day in November, come rain or shine. The weather was kind on this occasion, but the trio here look ready for a bracing trip. The following car has tiller steering (possibly a Lanchester), a feature that would become archaic by 1905.

Thermal lens wraps©
Our 'Thermal lens wraps©' help stop the end of the lens fogging or freezing. Used with our C80R Camera & Lens covers the wrap also helps to reduce battery drain in cold conditions. The photo was taken during last years Geminid meteor shower. One camera fogged & froze over while the one with the lens wrap kept going. Ideal for remote cameras or time lapse photography. We have a pdf doc. with more info on our site. Designed and made in the UK by www.wildlifewatchingsupplies.co.uk/retail/acatalog/C63-Th...
This is like the previous setup, except that I moved the lights to cast far less light on her.

C'mere... SHHH!!! I've got a secret for you. I've got a knock-off recipe of PF Chang's lettuce wraps. Ok ok... so maybe it's not a HUGE secret, but there are a lot of versions of lettuce wraps out there. This one is pretty damn spot on.
Here's the scoop:
1 head of lettuce
1lb pkg of boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 pkg of button mushrooms
2 cloves of garlic
1 small onion
1 small can of water chestnuts
1 pkg of crispy rice noodles
1/2 cup soy sauce
chili paste
Chinese hot mustard
Take the chicken breasts and put them in a pot of water. Bring the water and chicken to a boil. This will cook it, keep it moist and tender. Check to make sure the chicken is done by taking one of the breasts and cutting it open. If it's still pink, let it boil for a little while longer. Once the chicken is no longer pink inside, remove the chicken from the water and let it cool. You can either food process the chicken or hand chop it into pieces. We're looking for rather small pieces. A fine dice on the chicken is the technical term, I think.
While the chicken is poaching, finely dice the onion, garlic and mushrooms. Add a few table spoons of olive oil to a skillet and brown the mixture. When the mushrooms have browned and the onions have softened add the diced chicken to the mixture and turn the heat on low to keep everything warm.
Put your soy sauce in a small bowl. I like to use two healthy spoonfuls of both the hot mustard and the chili paste. But I like it spicy. If you like it mild, just add one. You can always add more to your individual wrap.
Put the chicken mixture into a serving bowl. Dice the water chestnuts into the same size pieces as the chicken and mixture. Add to the bowl. It doesn't have to be perfect, but we're looking for everything to be generally the same size. Top with a couple handfuls of the crispy rice noodles. Toss to combine.
Remove the lettuce core. Chop the head of lettuce in half and gently peel away the first couple of layers. Separate the rest of the lettuce leaves for easy use.
You can either have the sauce on the side for everyone to add their own. (Much like PF Chang's does) or you can just pour the sauce over the chicken mixture if everyone likes it the same heat level.
Now... I feel like Rachael Ray, but... you can find chili paste and Chinese hot mustard in most major super markets anymore. If you can't you might have to find an Asian food market. I found the crispy rice noodle in the same area of the store as the French fried onions. But most likely it's in the Asian food aisle as well.

My version of the Vera wrap, in colourful sport-weight/baby-acrylics. Unfortunately I ran out of pink, so the pink is much narrower than the pattern wants the second strip to be.
I have wrapped a little brass wire around this discarded (on the way to a scrap metal yard!) aluminum house siding. It was from a remodeling in my own neighborhood and my neighbor (knowing my story!) gave me the whole pile. Light as a feather - almost literally. The pattern varies from one pair to another.
Usually about 1.5 by .5 inches.
