This is what yesterday's birds were for. A gift for my new great nephew, Eddie Arthur M :) Took me ruddy ages! Not today - today I was just sorting out the backing and putting it in the frame, after I finished work this evening.
Still not feeling right today - I was fine to work, but my insides all feel a bit odd. Starting to wonder if it could have something to do with the out of date anchovies I ate last week... (Clever.)
We got the duckpin bowling balls for free because a random neighbor of the yardsale saw us buying the bowling balls and thought we might want the duckpin balls also. The big metal top is pretty cool because it plays music when you spin it. One of the silver orb lights ended up breaking, though. They are too fragile for our house.

I have a nice living room slash "library", but tend to prefer to read in this little nook. The light is fabulous and I can concentrate much better here.
And those books you see? ...that's my to-be-read "pile".
*hangs head in shame*
I'm reading Barbara Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible at the moment.
And yes, IKEA all over :P

time goes by so fast, people go in and out of our life. we must never miss the opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to us...
The picture is a pen and ink drawing of a northern Ontario landscape by Gordon Couling, a well known Guelph artist and my first art professor at the University of Guelph.
We're Here looks at Minimalism today.
I was saying goodbye to Tim this morning and spotted little Nutjob out of the window. After he'd set off on his bike, I grabbed my camera to get a few shots. She was too fast for me though, so I ended up taking a few photos of the sunlight in the tree outside, and then of the pretty shadows on the wall in the porch. (And then noticed the blue bottle was reflected in one of the photo frames - photo of the day done!)
Good day at work; I was actually (almost) on time for once! Which was handy as I left a bit early with Char to go for drinks with our friends/former colleagues Mags and Tessa. Had a really nice evening (and some delicious fish and chips to accompany my low-alcohol beer) at the Singer Tavern on City Road. Headed home just before 8pm - managed to persuade Tim that it was early enough for him not to need to come and meet me at the station, but he did come out to meet me in our road, bless him.
SO tired once home! Had a very lazy and relaxing evening after that.
I finally managed to put together basic folding instructions for my Single-Sheet Picture frame. The collapse is rather simple (just some bends in the style of Thoki Yenn), so you should be able to fold it even with little or no experience in reading CPs.
If you prefer an even easier approach to getting the same end result, try instructions for my Modular Picture Frame which is a modular model and thus folded from several pieces of paper rather than one long strip.
Instructions for Modular Picture Frame (my design, inspired by Hans-Werner Guth and Thoki Yenn). The pattern is quite simple, so you should be able to fold it even if you don’t have any experience with Crease Patterns. There are also example calculations which show how to make a frame to fit given picture size. Enjoy!
Greetings everybody! Welcome to my most popular photo ever. I hope you like it.

The wallpaper is fuzzy. This picture currently serves as my desktop.
This is an attempt to create minifig scale Deathstar.
I put it in a picture frame and hopefully someday I can fill a whole wall with these.
Got the idea for this photo after I took a pic of the photo frame wall with instagram.
We're still working on this wall. I'm wondering what to frame.
Hey look. I'm hiding from the camera again. It's what I prefer lately. At least I'm taking photos :)

We did not believe our eye's when we found this frame. Then sorted through tons of Katie pix and found this one which seemed perfectly balanced to fill the frame.

What greater way to show your love of LEGO than to decorate your household objects with bricks? "TLG" stands for The LEGO Group, of course. I built this to celebrate the LEGO brick's 50th anniversary, and because I couldn't think of anything to build.
Note: The pictureframe underneath the bricks is an official LEGO product (it's fairly rare; I picked it up in a LEGO store four years ago).
“When we find ourselves looking at the world and saying, ‘There’s nothing out there for me,’ we should probably also look into our hearts and ask, ‘If there’s nothing out there, is there anything in here?’ We need to examine our inner dialogue to discover where we might be blocking the conscious energy flow, then remove the ego, step out of the way, and let the fire of the soul shine through us.”
~Deepak Chopra
This shot is the sequel to the "Worm Hole Fingers" shot (on my site here) that i took months back....so this is like my Empire Strikes Back....to THAT photo lol
Again, my old family frame goes on an outing and makes an appearance..and is the star of the shot!...as well as my old friend...and reliable loyal... couch.
Best of all, i think the neighbor was wondering why we were balancing a couch on the much smaller lawn mower cart and driving it up the lawn...lol

I dismantled a picture frame and found paper packing leading to an obituary from 1917. Sobering Sunday.

The lighting wasn't the greatest earlier today, but it was sufficient :)
This is made up of double-pleat square spread twists with a large gap between them. The gaps are shortened with flattened pleats and the bordering intersections of the flattened pleats are inverted to the back. Pretty cool, I think, but check out the backlighting (completely different motif!): www.flickr.com/photos/brdparker/3365898871/in/set-7215760...
