Horse Progress Days still focuses on farming and logging with draft animals, but it has evolved and now includes something for all horse breeds.
Taking down some Drywall revealed this amazing "Ghost Sign".
The Landlord may develop the space into a restaurant (hopefully Thai!) - and hopefully leave this bit of History visible to all the patrons.
118 Pictures in 2018 #46: Can You Tell What It Is Yet?
I've got a good start on this pattern. I do, however, have to wait on a package of fancy threads and beads that I had to order via the internet. None of the big stores in town had what I needed and the one specialty shop 45 minutes away didn't have it, either. Oh, well, I guess this means I have more time for other activities while I wait...
Any ideas as to what it's going to be?
Finally after months I got some work done! Even though I hurt like hell and am having a really rough time lately (meds have been brutal etc. etc.) I can't tell you how incredibly good it felt to work on a Kenner! I needed it. This sweet girlie just needs a new lower half and her hairs finished. So close! :)

I think I need a Brazilian butt augmentation or something. And back fat removal! And a tummy tuck, boob job, arm lift and chin lift if you're taking orders... ;-)
It may seem like a mess, but teaching ideas fore the upcoming year are formulating as I declutter my office. Photo by R-M Arca.
Making more progress on the bike. I finally got around to harvesting the CL pipes off of the parts bike and fitting the short mufflers to them. I think it looks good.
the newspapers spread fear and hate - but the underlying statistics tell a very different story of human progress. how do we act to bring hope and truth?

More progress on half the assault squad for my new Blood Angels army.
This lot are not too far off. Just need to do the black and silver bits, the insignia and the eye lenses.
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.
Well partner, what do you think so far? I have the scrappy border done and all the hexies machine appliquéd down. The colours are not quite as seen in the photo as the light is so bad here right now. But I think it gives you a good idea of what to expect. Now I need to do the backing and think about quilting.
Construction continues at The Denver Union Station for the commuter rail line that will travel between Union Station and the Denver International Airport.
I personally really love this shot. I know there are much better photos of fireworks out there and I still have to practice a lot. I really like the symbolic of it, though.
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!!!
Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress -- Through a rotating carousel theater, this attraction carries seated guests into the homes of four generations of the same family from the days before electricity to the present day.
After a brief introduction, your theater rotates to reveal Act I, set around Valentine's Day around the turn of the century. After our host, John, tells the audience about the current state of modern conveniences -- all pre-electricity -- the theme music, "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow," plays as the theater rotates again. Act II brings us to the 1920s, and we see the family preparing for the Fourth of July celebration. The father shows off all the new electric powered conveniences, including the vacuum, electric lights, oven, and refrigerator (subsequently blowing all the fuses out in the neighborhood). Among the many other inventions spotlighted, we also see the son, Jimmy, listening to radio, on which we hear a John Philip Sousa march, and we hear about "air cooling", a fan blowing over a block of ice.
In Act III, the John of the 1940s tells us that he's entered the "Rat Race" by commuting to work, and we see the benefits of his new refrigerator and, most importantly, indoor plumbing. The theater turns one more time to reveal Act IV, with the family celebrating Christmas on the eve of the new century. The family's automated oven manages to burn the Christmas turkey to a crisp and the show concludes with a final rotation into the Finale, from which the audience is dismissed.
