This week, I was paired with Rob, aka dobseh for the Get Pushed group.
There's nothing I don't love about being a part of this group. No matter how exhausted I get, I find myself signing up every week to give myself something to grow on. Rob was no exception this week-- he forced me to grow (and show my growth... literally!)
His challenge to me:
"Ok, so i've been through your stream, you've got some nice stuff in there, but I'd like to challenge you to do something I haven't seen in a your stream.
Hard light - I'd like you to show off the new life inside you by crafting some light around your bump. You will probably need to use your tripod(you can also use someone else to trigger the shutter). I don't want to see to much grain, so no high ISO! It might also work better has a high contrast B+W, but that is entirely up to you. You can use natural or artificial light, again that's up to you. "
He nailed it. I've never tried something like this and needed to be pushed in order to get it done!
I wanted a black background and the closest I could get in my home was in the bathroom (our shower curtain is navy and knew it'd look black in B&W). So, I set myself up in the dark bathroom with 6 candles hanging out on the toilet. I toted my tripod in with me and posed for probably way more takes than I should have. In the end, this was the one I was happiest with. I think I learned a lot about harsh lighting and I know I have much more to learn about it. It's def. something I'll be trying again in the future (hopefully in different settings!)
I also want to add that at 4 1/2 months pregnant, I am happy to at any time record bits of this pregnancy to remember. I know this will go by faster that I can image and there's so many things that I take for granted with it. Despite exhaustion and a bit of heart burn, I'm really in great health. I can still work full time and still take care of my home. I'm so thankful for that and want to remember that I'm lucky to have these blessings!
Oh, and besides a crop and rotating the image slightly (I realized my tripod was on a slant making the image slanted) this is SOOC.

The shirt is a front/back print.
Construction continues at The Denver Union Station for the commuter rail line that will travel between Union Station and the Denver International Airport.
So after a very long 9 hour work day, the horrid, awful paint job is gone! Everything is primered and nothing is showing through. It's a miracle! The carpet has also been totally ripped out. It is so hard to believe that we signed the lease just two days ago!
Now tomorrow begins the fun stuff....I get to paint actual color on the walls that I like! Yay!!!
i say that 'cuz i took these to compare to the last set i took before i really started working out. i'll say that the main thing i notice is i don't have the muffin top. yay!
In early July, the University Place residence halls at Mississippi College remained under construction. Students expect to move in by late August.
Measure twice and cut once, this is never so important when you don't have many spares and can't run to the local lumber store for more.
First wall is up!
Whilst the team believed they were on the verge of creating history ...
Little did they know their efforts had been eclipsed years earlier & far more succesfully through the LL-117 series
The space federation were not amused ...

Some preteen girls I know have been coming to my house for a little sewing lesson every other week. This is the progress shot of a felted sweater puppet.

As of uploading this screen shot, the attempt to connect to Twitter is still going. About 5 minutes now. Since I am on the Dandelife site, my first reaction is that they are slow and can't get the job done. But, I know Twitter, so they could be the problem too.
But, since I get no feedback other than color-changing dandelions, I blame Dandelife. No cancel button means I have to click the Back button or close the tab and start over in order to enter my feed URLs.
Saturday afternoon was spent tearing out the 12' 2x10's and getting all the insulation off the north facing wall. I'd take a wild guess there was about 30 years of critter activity in those walls... Had to suit up for deep sea diving for that job. What a mess. When I wired up the shop, I decided to have all wiring accessible by not putting it in the walls. What a great decision. Not just for future tie in's, but I found so many spots that critters had chewed through and were otherwise scorched. What a fire hazard. Not anymore!
