A modest amount of fame when this twirled photo was selected by AP's Technical Editor for their social media selection this week (issue of 9 May). No fortune, alas.
FMS photo a day September 22nd 2013 - makes me smile - Chester makes me smile every single day. We adopted him 21 months ago, he is totally blind and had to have his left eye removed whilst in foster care, I think he is incredibly handsome. He manages so well in spite of his disability and accepts whatever life throws at him...which has been quite a lot. Everyone who meets him falls instantly in love with him, he is such a character and I am very proud to be owned by him!
Here in Argentina we call "Panadero" to this little wind travelers. I wonder how are called in other places.
These aren’t easy to catch, specially on a windy day :D But when you catch one... it can “make your day”.
In that moment you think a wish, something really special, make a deep breath with that wish and blow it the Panadero to return to the air.
With this photograph I celebrate my 70 photos here in Flickr , an according to the Panadero, I want to make a wish in this special occasion :
I hope the Divine Love rebirth in every humble heart, to service a New Mankind with integrity, compassion and faith.
Off course, more wishes are allowed.

Pide un deseo
Aquí en Argentina llamamos “Panadero” a estos pequeños viajeros del viento. Me pregunto como los llamarán en otros lugares.
No son fáciles de agarrar, especialmente en uno de esos días ventosos :D Pero cuando agarras uno… ese puede ser tu día.
En ese momento piensas un deseo, algo realmente especial, das una buena bocanada de aire con tu deseo bien presente y liberas al Panadero para que retorne al aire.
Con esta fotografía celebro mis 70 fotos aquí en Flickr :D, y de acuerdo al Panadero, aquí va mi deseo en esta ocasión especial:
Espero que el Amor Divino renazca en cada corazón humilde, para servir a una Nueva Humanidad con integridad, compasión y fe.
This is Findus, he's based on a drawing that Julie made, unfortunately we lost it in the process. Findus is a hedghog builder, that's why he's wearing orange wellys and suspenders. His belly and the inside of his ears are soft pink.

a first attempt at shooting lit candles. I am happy with how it turned out. With these kind of candles you are racing against the clock before they melt. I think this chocolate birthday cake was a success too ^_^ I will make it again for sure and post the recipe on my blog.

A present I made for my advisor. I am proud of this one! I wanted to make something that had a tiny bit of authenticity. I found this Victorian embroidery pattern and worked off of these color scheme slides, and went shopping for stuff. The paper came from Paper Presentation and I liked it pretty well. (I was looking for something darker, sort of like the trimming ribbon, but I couldn't find it anywhere.) The large center ribbon came from M&J, and I dithered over the secondary ribbon forever. I bought at least three different things I didn't end up using and was just never quite happy with it. ("But it doesn't look VICTORIAN ENOUGH!") Ultimately though, I discovered my new favorite store in the city, Tinsel Trading, where I carried around an armful of twelve different things in an ecstatic frenzy of swear words, before buying the thin purple one for the embroidery, and the top one for trimming.
I LOVE THAT STORE SO MUCH. I WANT TO BRING YOU THERE!
So... first I cut the paper, sort of badly; it'd been a while since I cut paper precisely. But it was okay. I needed a front and a back, because at first I thought I'd be able to make the bookmark look nice on both sides, but no, there was definitely going to be an ugly side. I glued down the ribbon on the top sheet, leaving a long tail to fold back up later. I poked holes at the sides based on this "sewing on paper" tutorial. I had to enlarge the holes a little, so I did a pass with pushing the needle through them before I did the sewing part. Then I threaded it with the purple ribbon and did the embroidery, carefully so the ribbon wouldn't twist up. (I also tried to avoid trapping dog hair in the stitches, but...) Then I glued down the backing paper, wrapped the rose ribbon's tail up the back and over the top a little bit. (So, the back just has a pink stripe.) Then I covered up the seam by using this French bow tutorial for the trim, and sewed that down with thread.
Then I clamped it down underneath a bunch of heavy books for the glue to set and dry overnight, and hoped that it wouldn't look too knobbly in the morning. And it didn't! It was okay. Not a delicate Victorian thing, exactly, but all the bits were executed pretty well. The "wrong side" of the ribbons were a problem. And better, thinner glue would have helped improve it. I found this hilariously specific glue recommendation website and did a couple spot tests: Krazy Glue wasn't good at bonding the ribbon to the paper, and it left a big stain when it dried. Normal school glue did okay if I used really small amounts, but it left me compromising with that gluey stiffness in the end.
Anyway. Hey look I made a pretty bookmark. It was a really nice present. (And if I don't write all this down, I'll never remember how I did it.)

"When we'd finished our main course, Maëlys and Juliette sang "Happy Birthday" to me. I made the best wish I could think of and proceeded to blow the candles out. Er, right. I pretended to blow the candles out. In her haste, Juliette had neglected to put candles on the cake, but I turned a blind eye. She'd gone through so much trouble to arrange this little fête that candles didn't really matter at all!"
