i was also attempting something with directional natural light to highlight the flowers, but not sure if it worked out at all...
first time photographing flowers, any advice appreciated. this is super hard!
another angle i tried. --> www.flickr.com/photos/71895342@N04/7069403019/
i was trying to play around with creating haze with neighboring leaves in the bush...
Decided to have another big clearout as the ‘stuff’ is gradually taking over again. I swear it breeds behind my back when I’m not looking! And it seems that as fast as I declutter and Freecycle it, my parents or my daughter give me more stuff they think I’d like!
Going to do another “Wave bye bye to 100 things in 10 days” challenge, like I did on Swapbot earlier in the year. That was a fun challenge and as it was not long after Christmas, it wasn’t too hard to do.
Day 1’s assortment was:
Cutlery drainer: this still had its label on and had been on my craft room windowsill holding pens, knives, scissors etc. After my big craft room tidy up I put all those things into a spare tin so the cutlery drainer was excess to requirements now. I put this on Freecycle.
Two document wallets that I had bought at a craft show to hold the scrapbook papers that I also bought there. I wanted to keep them flat and hadn’t taken anything with me. As I have 4 rigid containers at home to keep scrapbook papers in, I don’t really need these any more. These were also put on Freecycle and another crafter had them.
Lime green and pink paper trimmer and two spare blades. I had great trouble finding a paper trimmer that cut straight, and this wasn’t one of them! I eventually found one after having bought about 6 different ones, so this one was not needed any more. This also went on Freecycle and found a new home with another crafter.
Two plastic container/storage boxes. These were also excess to requirements after my craft room tidy up. My mum is also a crafter so these will be going to live in her craft room now.
An L-shaped pillow for sitting up in bed and reading. This had been in the top of my wardrobe for about 5 years. I never sit up and read in bed, and the pillow wasn’t suitable even if I did. On to Freecycle it went, where it was re-homed.
A wicker basket. This had also been in my craft room holding ‘bits’: after the big tidy up I no longer had a need for it, so it too went on Freecycle and was taken to a new home.
Ikea deep display box. I bought this years ago intending to do something with it, but never did, so don’t see the point of keeping it. Freecycled it to another crafter.
Sagem mobile phone and charger. I think this was the first mobile I had, and as I had recently inherited hubby’s old one, I no longer needed this. Freecycled to a new home.
Two feather pillows that had been in the top of my wardrobe for a couple of years. Children have both left home now and we have an excess of pillows anyway, so could safely Freecycle these.
Mannequin jewellery holder. Given to me by my daughter as she didn’t want it, so I Freecycled it for her.
That concludes Day 1. Some of the things will be hanging around for a couple of days until the new owners from Freecycle can collect them, but they will all be gone by the weekend! Yippee!
Very messy before shot of my home office I let it go way to long before cleaning, including typical paper clutter, as well as toys on the floor as well as other junk that didn't belong in the office in the first place.
Decluttered computer cabinet and cleared up the cables. Attached two blocks to the back for easy plugging in of power-supplies.

he had very brotherly energy … I don’t know why I just kept giggling, I couldn’t help but not too … we were watching football and he kept saying – ‘concentrate, stay with me’ … he was snapping his fingers to keep my attention … ‘look me in the eye and follow’ … he made me loosen up, like shake off any other energy and align to the music … my hubby brought in ice cream and he was ‘o’k, I’ll just wait‘ ... he jumped on a ledge, propped his arms by his side and started swinging his legs … as soon as I put my empty bowl down, he jumped off ‘o’k, let’s go’ … he was like a little league coach, go, go, go .. very fast on his feet, almost floating on his toes
Iater I mentioned to my hubby, that I felt his left leg was shorter than his right, he walked with a skip and sort of led on with his left shoulder, almost rolling it forward … he said, that doesn’t sound right, he looked it up online and it turns out, he had a freak accident playing football and had a surgery on his left foot that almost ended his dancing carrier

Well, it's been an interesting week.
Bought a new desk for my home office.
Cleaned out said home office this week with much help from Simon.
Threw out a ton of stuff, yay, declutter!
Promptly had the laptop decide when I rebooted it this afternoon that I no longer needed photoshop or half my programs, and uh... it ate all my photos from this week, argh... and now I can't find my disks. Anywhere. I fear the worst. But the desk is clean! ;)
That said... I got a huge laugh out of this after I spent the last few hours sitting here cursing bad, bad words, and pulling my hair out. I managed to rig up Open Canvas to at least do a bit of photo editing, thank goodness. At least I can crop!
My workstation's apparently a little Simoncentric. I didn't even realize it until he was supervising from the chair tonight. ;) He's very helpful!

This set of Bitty Twins is actually my childhood set. I don't remember getting these dolls because I was so little (and I have a horrible memory.) I was always kind to my dolls though, I never played rough with them so all my childhood dolls including these ones are actually in pretty good shape. There were no scuffs or marks on them and all their paint is still intact. They were very dusty though, to the point where the dust had formed dark splotches I was afraid I couldn't get out. Luckily it came off with some baking soda. When I outgrew baby dolls these guys pretty much just lived in their crib at my grandparent's house. I was recently over there helping them declutter and organize when I came across these two in the back of the closet in the guest room. The moment I saw them I knew I had to save them. It's so much fun having my Bitty Twins back in my life. I named them Alex and Annie partly after a favorite jewelry brand and partly because no other names seemed to suit them. I'm excited to have these two back in my life and I'm excited to start collecting their collection.

I didn't plan on doing this when I woke up today, but I just decided that I couldn't go another day with this tangled mess inside my electronics drawer. So I dumped out all the contents and sat on the floor untangling and organizing this pile. Some stuff was already in ziplock baggies but not enough. Now almost everything has it's own ziplock baggy so they can never get tangled together again. Actually, almost all of this will eventually be discarded. I discovered I own 7 headphones and 13 mice!
I’ve had a very rough past. When I was young, my three-year old brother died of unknown causes. I’ve had a lot of problems dealing with the loss over the years. To make things worse, I have bipolar disorder, which I could never control.
I attended public school for a while, then I became home-schooled at the age of 15. I went to a boarding school in North Carolina for five months then came back to home schooling later that year. I was hospitalized at Rush Children’s Hospital’s psychiatric unit in Chicago. I could no longer deal with the loss of my brother or my bipolar disorder.
When I got released from the hospital I started a new home school program and graduated high school at the age of 16 with a 3.7 GPA. It felt great to graduate, and I felt a lot of pride in myself. After finishing high school, I went to South Valley Community College and graduated from the CNA program. Things were going well for a while, but then at the age of 17, I was sent to another hospital, the Streamwood Behavioral Health Center in Chicago.
After returning from there, I started dealing with a lot of issues from my disorder and I couldn’t concentrate on any one thing. At this time, I had a job as a CNA and lost it due to poor attendance. I started seeing a Department of Rehabilitation Services (DRS) counselor and worked with her on getting my life turned around.
After working with DRS, I applied to Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois’ “Let’s Go To Work” program, a supportive work program that helps individuals with barriers gain valuable work experience and training. I worked in the back sorting and hanging clothes. I was very excited about this opportunity because I knew I would need to work in order to get better.
I was hired in June 2013, and worked with my job coach on my work skills. After a few months of working in the “Let’s Go To Work” program, there was a job opening for a cashier’s position at Goodwill. My job coach and I worked on the application together, and I was called for an interview.
A few days later I was offered the job, and found out I would be getting more hours. I was very excited for this opportunity, and I know without the help and support of my job coach in Goodwill I would have never been able to move into a competitive job. I love working for Goodwill and I would like to thank them for giving me a second chance.

I decided to declutter our *office* and that involved try to unsuccessfully organize all the novels I have by authors. I couldn't , I ended up organizing them by merely aesthetic reasons (nice covers) or by favorite books/writers.
This one belongs to the favorite book covers. Jaime Bayly's, Y de repente un angel, a funny story about a Peruvian guy and his helper .
I dont' know you, but lately these past days I have feeling bit down; after knowing the terrible situation the people of Haiti are confrontating. Sending my prayers to all of them.
En espanol:
Decidi limpiar nuestra *oficina* y eso involucro organizar insatisfactoriamente todas las novelas que tengo por autor (bueno, al menos esa era mi intencion). No lo pude hacer, y termine por organizarlas por meras razones esteticas (bonitas portadas) o colocandolas en orden de importancia (para mi) autores y libros favoritos...lo cual fue mas divertido.
Este libro pertenece a la categoria de *portadas bonitas* : Y de repente un angel de Jaime Baily, una simpatica historia sobre un Peruano y su empleada domestica.
En otro orden de ideas, no se ustedes, pero yo me he sentido bastante *down* estos ultimos dias sabiendo como estan las cosas en Haiti, solo de pensar en la terrible situacion que la gente esta viviendo alla me hace sentir muy mal. Envio todas mis oraciones hasta alla......y espero que tu tambien!.
I'm looking to offload a bunch of clothing/bags/footwear I no longer use, because I need to declutter and also to fund a little project I seem to have gotten myself into in a few weeks. This beauty is a Chloé bag - details are on themourningcloak.com

Spent some time during my holidays (back in January) fixing up the study. New shelves, new paint, declutter (yes, really), etc. Now the PC sits on a new desk and its a nice setup that also shares a sewing machine table and a piano. Fun! :)
