New Year's Resolution No. #1 is to finish this quilt! My goal is to have it complete by March 1st~just in time to back it with a print from the re-release of FMF. See, there is a method to my madness.
They call it progress but I feel sad each time I see these structures being built. All the orchards and farms are all gone and the population has gone up from 40, 000 to more that 200, 000 in 35 years that we've been here. The farmer across the street from our house used to let me go and help myself to whatever he had growing. The farmer passed away and the family sold the farm and became residential houses not too long after.
This is a page from 'Unwind in the Wilds' illustrated by Sarah Taylor and produced by 'Derwent Colour and Relax'.
I bought the book as a promo pack complete with ten Derwent Coloursoft pencils at quite a low price. The offer price seems to have gone up £4 since I bought it!
The book comes with instructions, a colour wheel and a couple of completed coloured in pages.Seemingly ideal for beginners and youngsters but perhaps isn't everyone's cup of tea.
So far I have given the bird its first coating but it now needs at least another one over the top.
I honestly can't work out what leaves, flowers or buds are growing from the branch.Jan says just start and see what develops. Keeping to the ten Coloursoft pencils makes it more of a challenge.
If I do finish it I'll attempt to put it on Flickr in due course.
Standing outside the Co-operative hardware store at Beamish Museum is this absolute masterpiece of motor car preservation, a 1901 four seater tonneau, made by The Progress Cycle Co. of Coventry and UK registered EU 12.
Note the blanket lying on the front. Even on a warm day this must have been an essential part of the car's equipment.
The Progress Cycle Company made cars from 1898 until 1903. They also made motorcycles between 1900 and 1905.

Inglewood Point. Lighthouse by Culprit. Anyone else still have a love for 'old fashioned' builds? I love mesh and sculpts had their time - but sometimes I just love the clean edges of a prim. This house might have some mesh to it - I'm not sure - but I love it's SL circa 2010 look :)
I'd been thinking about another trip to this part of Felixstowe for a while but had been waiting for tide, sunset and weather to all get along nicely together. The opportunity arose last night when it finally stopped raining so Parrish and I headed down there on a very last minute trip.
I spent most of my time trying to avoid getting the docks in the frame but as all the cloud had moved in that direction I finally gave up and composed a couple of shots to include the docks... they were my favourites of the night!

The Century of Progress Architectural District is an historic residential district in Beverly Shores, Indiana. The district is on Lake Shore Drive, now within the boundaries of Indiana Dunes National Park. The district comprises five buildings, all from the Homes of Tomorrow Exhibition of the 1933 Century of Progress World's Fair, which took place in Chicago. Intended to display the future of housing, the Century of Progress Homes reflect a variety of designs, experimental materials and new technologies. In 1986, the district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Beverly Shores-Century of Progress Architectural District.

Indiana Dunes National Park is located in northwestern Indiana that was authorized by Congress in 1966 as the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore (the name by which it was known until it was designated the nation's 61st national park on February 15, 2019). The park runs for nearly 25 miles along the southern shore of Lake Michigan; it contains approximately 15,000 acres. Its visitors center is in the town of Porter. Located in the park are sand dune, wetland, prairie, river, and forest ecosystems.
Indiana Dunes National Park has acquired about 95% of the property within the authorized boundaries. Several of its holdings are non-contiguous and do not include the 2,182-acre Indiana Dunes State Park, which is within the boundaries of the national park but is owned, managed, and protected by the state of Indiana. The national park is divided into 15 parcels of various acreage. Along the lakefront, the eastern area is roughly the lake shore south to U.S. 12 or U.S. 20, between Michigan City (on the east) and the ArcelorMittal steel plant (on the west). A small extension, south of the steel mill continues west along Salt Creek to Indiana 249. In addition, there are several outlying areas, including; Pinhook Bog, in LaPorte County to the east. The Heron Rookery in Porter County, the center of the park, and the Calumet Prairie State Nature Preserve and the Hobart Prairie Grove, both in Lake County, the western end of the park. Also within the National Park is the Hoosier Prairie State Nature Preserve, managed by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

iPhone shot a couple of days ago of my antique restoration project. Spring is here and the landscaping has started, Between that and the sanding I am getting muscles like I've never had :-). much better on black
With a trailer in tow, Blackpool Transport Progress Twin Car set headed by car 874 loads passengers in the shadow of Blackpool Tower as a Marshall-bodied AEC Swift emerges from a side street. The Moderne building in the view was for many years a Woolworth’s store. It is now the Albert and The Lion, a Wetherspoon’s pub (which was beyond crowded when I tried to visit in more recent years).
‘Progress’ is the official motto of Blackpool.

My Licca dollhouse is progressing steadily. The roof terrace is all but finished.
I've been working on the windows now. They have been a challenge to design so that they're practical and neat to make with the equipment/facilities I have. Not having a designated workshop area for woodwork is a downside, when every piece is sawn by hand. I have all this stuff just piled up in my dolly room now and I need to scoot off to the backyard warehouse when I need to saw something. Hehe!
I will do some touch ups on the paint work all over yet, but I'm fairly pleased with how its coming along, the colours chosen and such. :) Building this is so much fun, coming up with ways to do the different parts of the house and getting to play the designer a bit.
The first time my Jensen Interceptor has had the correct steel front valance panel for quite a few years!
Boards installed, now I need to install the lower frame members and stake them so that back-filling doesn't push this all under the deck. The boards were all pre-drilled (top and bottom) and, although the order of operations might seem a bit odd, it will be easy enough to remove two or three boards, drive a few pieces of rebar into the ground, and then close everything up again ready for backfilling. Donut Bunny hopes to be planting veggies by Monday--that rabbit can be a bit of a slave-driver!
I'm working on a watercolor painting right now.
It's called "One night in Lemon Garden".
It's going to have a dark background Blogged here
7. Glue drawer fronts on matboard pieces. I printed the drawer fronts from dresser images online, but had to make adjustments.
8. Cut paper birch sticks for drawer pulls.
9. Cut wooden pieces for base.
A field vehicle, loaded with soil was passing with grand style leaving behind the dusty jet in its muddy pathway. The vehicle named Swaraj, meaning Independence likely has some significance to our independence day in India. Its progress is much like the India's with corruptions following it even after the 69th year of the independence! Pics was taken from the mid Ganges in a village of Burdwan, W.B., India.

I've started making a few toys to enter in the 2nd annual softies awards. Have you made yours yet? Full details here:
“Progress has not followed a straight ascending line, but a spiral with rhythms of progress and retrogression, of evolution and dissolution.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The current City Hall building is a near-50-year-old structure that has served the city well but, in its current state, is functionally obsolete. Built in 1969, the current City Hall requires major renovations that are complicated by the presence of friable asbestos and the way the electrical and mechanical systems were installed.
On October 3, 2017, Virginia Beach city council unanimously approved a resolution to proceed with the design of a new city hall building. The new three-story structure adjacent to the current city hall, between Buildings 1 and 2, is under construction and progressing well.

Since we are inundated with nature photography and images that did not involve being in nature, getting down on all fours, or searching for ticks once at home, it's nice to know that it's not perfect focus etc. that counts. Some images just give me that special feeling. I stand by that feeling and those moments.
The future of traction for Sandaoling are the DF8B diesels and on 14 January workings to and from the Erjing Mine 2 were being shared by DF8B 0249, seen crossing the desert with empties, and a 'JS' class 2-8-2. Full dieselisation of these workings will have probably taken place at the beginning of February. Quite how long the deep mines will remain open for in the area with the downturn in coal consumption remains to be seen, but for sure there will be few if any visitors to report on it in the future.
