Grandma's new apartment (1920-1922), Parc Imstenrade.
Grandma was talking to a friend who's about to decorate her first home. Things you Should Know Before decorating your first home.
1. Buy your big pieces of furniture secondhand: This is not just about saving money, it's also about how your style will change as you learn what you like and don't like. Don't spend a lot on a piece by justifying that it's a piece you've always wanted and an investment in your future. The likelihood is that your style will go through three or four metamorphoses before it settles into something that's you.
2. Reconsider before you reject: When you move into your first place, people will often be so excited for you that they'll want to gift you with some of their old stuff (or they may just be trying to get rid of it!). Before you turn up your nose at it or toss it, make a list of inexpensive changes you might make to it. You might reupholster an old couch or paint its frame a shocking pink, remove a skirt or add a pillow or six. Not only will this save you money, it will hone your ability to look at a piece in a flea market or antique shop and see its potential.
3. Inspiration boards are not always good for decorating your first space: I know that goes against everything we're always talking about but I've found that trying to recreate someone else's room in your first space, a space that will go through a lot of transitions, ends up costing you a lot in time and money.
4. Embrace the serendipity: Your first home will not be perfect. There will be odd chairs around your table, a couch that's a lot fussier than your ideal -- and that is exactly how it should be. You're learning what you like to live with, not just what you like in a picture.
5. Paint is your best friend: You can paint a wall or a piece of furniture, dip the legs of your mismatched chairs in paint to unify them or paint a block of color behind your bed to act as a faux headboard.
6. Accent walls are your decor secret: You don't have to paint the whole room. One wall is plenty and as much as most people have patience for. It's also easy to change it up if you get bored or don't like the color.
7. Friday is move your furniture around day: Okay, maybe not every Friday but at least once every few weeks try a new arrangement. Sometimes the most unexpected arrangements work the best. This is great fun to do with friends!
8. Let your home annoy you: It's tempting, after a day of looking at decor mags and blogs, to want to fix everything in your apartment, especially when it comes to storage issues. But instead of trying to solve it immediately (which usually involves buying a lot of storage containers), live with the problem for a while. Often you'll happen upon a better solution that will end up being cheaper and simpler. Which brings me to the biggest lesson.
9. Live with as little as you can. It's tempting, when you first live alone to want to get all that stuff you've been eyeing for ages. Yes, you may be a home decor nut but, instead of buying every pillow and flowerpot you see, take a picture of it, pin it to your Pinterest board or post it on your blog. Just wait a few years or a few months and your home will have accumulated plenty and you'll spend weekends trying to cull it. Embrace the minimal while you can.
Was glad to read this in the New York Times this morning - www.nytimes.com/2009/11/13/world/asia/13jurm.html?pagewan...
JURM, AFGHANISTAN— Small grants given directly to villagers have brought about modest but important changes in this corner of Afghanistan, offering a model in a country where official corruption and a Taliban insurgency have frustrated many large-scale development efforts.
Since arriving in Afghanistan in 2001, the United States and its Western allies have spent billions of dollars on development projects, but to less effect and popular support than many had hoped for. Much of that money was funneled through the central government, which has been increasingly criticized as incompetent and corrupt. Even more has gone to private contractors hired by the United States who siphon off almost half of every dollar to pay the salaries of expatriate workers and other overhead costs.
Not so here in Jurm, a valley in the windswept mountainous province of Badakhshan, in the northeast. People here have taken charge for themselves — using village councils and direct grants as part of an initiative called the National Solidarity Program, introduced by an Afghan ministry in 2003.
Before then, this valley had no electricity or clean water, its main crop was poppy and nearly one in 10 women died in childbirth, one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world.
Today, many people have water taps, fields grow wheat and it is no longer considered shameful for a woman to go to a doctor.
If there are lessons to be drawn from the still tentative successes here, they are that small projects often work best, that the consent and participation of local people are essential and that even baby steps take years.

I taught a strobe lesson in Shinjuku, with the help of the talented Youko Sunshine and makeup by Beauty By Alexandre. After we got the makeup on, it went fantastically. Thanks to everyone involved, and especially to David and Tom.

The camp I help teach with LEGO Master Mel Brown is more than about putting bricks together. We’re here to serve underprivileged children who don’t have access to a ton of bricks. With just 1 or 2 small boxes of bricks we’ve been able to demonstrate endless possibilities. We teach them how different parts have different functions, but we go further to teach life skills, like getting organized, thinking outside the box, perseverance, and other tips along the way.
The topic for this week’s lesson was landscaping. The kids learned about symmetry vs asymmetry, geometric vs organic shapes, foreground and background, composition, and some fundamental LEGO layering and shaping. The kids did sooo great to keep up with an abundance of information and building in a 1 hr timeframe! Lots of smiles and thumbs up. Really makes my week.
This week's Illustration Friday topic is: "lesson".
Well, I see now more illustrators chose the birds as a subject, but while I was making it I didn't know it yet!
Not easy to take flying lessons when you're young.
Have fun!

Many a good soul hath said to me that they “understand my loss”
That they have learned from a ‘lesson given’ that death is not the end
So why then after the time ‘allowed’ do I still remain so bowed?
To them I say,” to suffer is to know”, and do you know?
If they ‘knew’, it would be a ‘different’ place for them
On this side of the line they would then stand with me
They then would really know what its like for us,
Their statements they would moderate
‘Come’ I say, and suffer as I do, now what allowance do you give?
Do you know this place to which you’ve come?
Sadly, only loss, the death of others is the ticket to this space
Stand upon it, if you dare, and leave a vacant place.
This loss so great that nothing can escape
There is no ‘set time’ as they would wish
To be my friend, then mourn with me
Support me in my fate, never to forget the loss of love
For love so lost can never be replaced
No time can mend this bridge
It is not ‘I’ who is no more
But love itself, in the one that is not upon this shore
No more can that love create the scene
To which I remedy my life,
To suffer such is everything
To suffer is to Know
Poem: Richard Walker 20/09/2007
After the death of my son it appeared to me that many people had a false understanding of what true grief was all about, they offer sympathy but do not, cannot, really know unless they too have suffered. I don't want them to be in this place and I understand their fear of it....
This photo of Niagara Falls that my late son took, stands now as a metaphor for this poem "falling into another place"
It seems so odd that it was he who took this image which is now the subject of his passing.....

This turned out to be a photographing lesson from a person who it seems might never have used a camera. I was at my friend's house and trying to shoot this plantain leaf minus the maiz in picture. His sister spotted me and asked me what am I doing without a subject to shoot, and just put this maiz and told "now, you shoot this". It kind of shook me a bit. all of a sudden, the whole image changed and I learnt a good lesson about a Subject, a Background and a Composition. I shot it the way she laid it. Is this a very good image? Don't know. But it is better than most of my images. Thanks Remachechi.

Winter into Spring. Overprinting backgrounds: music and handwriting printed over designs. Making a paper frame. Cheated on the gluebook, though, and enhanced some colors with colored pencils. Probably still need to anchor the girl to one of the edges of the paper; her side could use a small horizontal accent in the upper right, I think. Thanks for the beautiful calendar girls, Mary!

Ralph Waldo Emerson. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca: On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
John Muir: All the wild world is beautiful, and it matters but little where we go, to highlands or lowlands, woods or plains, on the sea or land or down among the crystals of waves or high in a balloon in the sky; through all the climates, hot or cold, storms and calms, everywhere and always we are in God's eternal beauty and love. So universally true is this, the spot where we chance to be always seems the best.

Anche un uomo Mina
Ragazza mia ti spiego gli uomini
ti servirà quando li adopererai
son tanto fragili, fragili tu
maneggiali con cura
fatti di briciole, briciole che
l'orgoglio tiene su
ragazza mia sei bella e giovane
ma pagherai ogni cosa che otterrai
devi essere forte ma forte perché
dipenderà da te
tu sei l'amore il calore che avrà
la vita che vivrai.
anche un uomo può sempre avere un'anima
ma non credere che l'userà per capire te
anche un uomo può essere dolcissimo
specialmente se al mondo oramai
gli resti solo tu.
Ragazza mia adesso sai com'è
quell'uomo che mi porti via e vuoi per te.
