During the month of November I've had a collection of work up at Progress and this event is a bit of a closing party.

Notes: Born in Wisconsin in 1868, Curtis came to Seattle in 1887 at the age of 19. He soon established a highly successful photography studio in downtown Seattle and as time progressed, became known for the images he captured of local Puget Sound tribes. In 1906, Curtis received funding from J.P. Morgan to begin work on "The North American Indian," a twenty volume set of photographs and text documenting Native American tribes throughout the western United States. It took Curtis 24 years to complete the project and in the process, his personal life, health and finances suffered greatly. The project that had once hailed great publicity and excitement at its start received little fanfare with the release of the final volume in 1930. Around 1922, Curtis moved to Los Angeles and opened a new photo studio. To earn money he worked as an assistant cameraman for Cecil B. DeMille and was an uncredited assistant cameraman in the 1923 filming of The Ten Commandments.

eww! excuse the nasty carpet. i think it was the original carpet from when our 1969 house was built... gotta get that replaced pronto!
anyway, i thought i'd go with the magic carpet feel borders. unless you really love it, i might start over with something new. i'm not totally happy with this for this swap... it might turn into a christmas present for my bro (he lives and works out in the middle east)
what do you all think, though?
Ivy is progressing nicely - Her wings are almost stitched and I've done most of the beading on the skirt of her dress. She needs some legs though! I think she should be done in a couple of weeks.
I know it's only been ten days since the last one I posted, but this one is actually on time (well, only 3 days late) whereas the last one was three months late. The last 10 days have seen a fair amount of plane work, despite me being in Alabama for half of it.
Wrapped up both of the main wing spars and both leading edges (the landing light lens for the right wing still needs a bit of work). Also got the aileron skin stiffeners riveted on, so they're green as well.
Parts shown here in green are complete, yellow are awaiting some final riveting or blending tasks, orange are awaiting primer, and red are works in progress. Uncolored parts haven't yet been worked on.
I strive to achieve the unexpected, to disentangle this increasingly complicated world and blaze new paths for others to follow.
From early rail tracks to today’s cars, The Lesner Bridge has been a major factor in transportation for the northern part of the city. The current renovation to the bridge is well underway and progressing well, all while keeping this important artery open.

My pop fabric arrived yesterday so now I'm really ready to start. My design wall is a minky background provided by the recipient of this quilt. Baby Anne, welcome to the world.
The worst closet in our place - the one where the boxes that have moved more than once are - is now feeling the heat of my laser eyes. "You! Why do I still have you?"
Ahhh, letting go is good.
p.s. fyi, Magic: The Gathering players, this is where my soon to be sold collection of cards was. (Revised to Prophecy mostly, with some Invasion, Planeshift, & Unlimited and just a few Betas).
The Cathedrale St Etienne in Toul is justly famed for it's impressive late gothic west facade crowned by twin octagonal towers. It is otherwise a fairly compact building as cathedrals go, but remains the dominant landmark in the old town of Toul.
The present cathedral was begun in 1221 and consists of a long nave and aisles followed by short apsed eastern limb with transepts. On the south side is a large 13th century cloister and there are Renaissance chapels to be found on either side of the nave. It lost it's role as mother church of the Diocese to the new cathedral in Nancy in 1777.
The cathedral has been under restoration for some time; when I visited the north aisle and transepts were cordoned off and the apse completely blocked up with scaffolding, which made my initial first view of the interior rather dispiriting. The cloister also appeared to be inaccessible from within the cathedral but luckily I later found another entrance from the street.
Despite the obvious signs of work, this is perhaps the quietest cathedral I've ever visited; the streets nearby were eerily empty (save for the odd rowdy group of children) and all appeared to be locked up (I tried all the facade doors and only the very last one yielded). I also had the interior entirely to myself (there must have been workmen in the scaffolding, but I saw no one). This can often enhance the serenity of such buildings, here though it gave it a somewhat lonely atmosphere.
