I thought it would be nice to post a pic of my top 10 favorite monster high dolls. But as I was going through my three storage bins, I kept pulling out more and more until I realized that I am no longer capable of picking out a top ten. Maybe if I thought about it harder, I could narrow it down.
I keep thinking about selling off some of my collection but I cant even choose a top ten. Then I think about maybe narrowing it down to three dolls per character....but I cant do that either. They arent on display and I feel guilty about owning so many dolls that just sit in a box in storage. I keep thinking if im not enjoying them now why keep them? but then I open the boxes and fall in love with them all over again... There was a point when I first started collecting that I could have picked a top ten and kept my collection at that, but I am no longer capable.
sorry for the grainy photo quality. If i manage to pick a top ten, Ill take a better photo
I spent a lot of time at the meerkat enclosure taking pictures of the meerkats and the zebras, who prance about behind them. For my more in-depth thoughts on the Sigma 150-600mm Sport, check out my review at the Disney Photography Blog: disneyphotographyblog.com/?p=405
I don't know what it is with me only thinking of shoots that involve water. Because it was in the 30's today.

my second try for the playdate cafe challenge
theplaydatecafe.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-play-date-cafe-c...
Over the past few months we have attempted (attempted being the key word!) various home improvement projects. So when this challenge appeared, I immediately thought of my husband's many trips to the hardware stores. Most recently he purchased some wood, so that made me think of lumber stacks, and in terms of quilting, log cabins! However, whatever we do with wood, it never quite turns out perfect, so that led me to want to do something with wonky log cabins (plus I like trying new things and have never made a log cabin block before).
So with visions of lumber in my mind, I headed off to the hardware store, son in tow, coincidentally wearing his little "Mr. Fix-it Shirt". As I wandered around the store, I felt out of place... I'm not all that handy and I had no idea about the uses for some of the things I was looking at. I did make some mental notes that some of the garden gloves looked like they could be good for quilting and that some of the straps they sold could be used for messenger bags :), but I digress. As I wandered, I snapped some of the photos in the mosaic. I looked for interesting textures and things that reminded me of quilting or sewing. I also looked for colorful items. I kept coming back to a laundry clamp because it reminded me of an embroidery hoop and I wondered what I might do with that.
As I headed home, I kept thinking about my gut desire to use plaids and orange (Home Depot is one of the many hardware stores we often go to) as points of inspiration too. Then it dawned on me that I kept thinking about these because of the show "Home Improvement" with Tim Allen. In the show, he is a home improvement guy with his own show called "Tool Time." From there, I knew exactly what I would do-- I would re-create "Tool Time" using an embroidery hoop to make a clock. The clock would have a wonky log cabin with fabrics made from the photos I had taken at the store. The square in the hoop also seemed fitting to represent how out of place I had felt in the hardware store (you know, "the square peg in the round hole"...). The colors would not be plaid or orange, but inspired by the Mr. Fix-it shirt my son had worn. So with this in mind, I bought a clock movement kit and embroidery hoop, and then printed the photos onto printable fabric. The fabric pieces were cut in 1.5" and 2" strips and I tried to create wonkiness as I went by cutting alternating diagonals (varying in severity) and the thickness of the strips as I wanted to provide balance. I added the battery, wrench and fastener as clock hands. I only had 4 nuts to denote 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock because I didn't want the nuts to take away from the wonkiness of the clock.
The clock is 10" in diameter and was made in Milwaukee, WI.

Food for Thought, Food for Life Panel - Wholesome Wave and Google
National nonprofit Wholesome Wave has teamed up with Google and TEDxManhattan to host one of the inaugural TEDxManhattan Adventures. Screening a new short film by Susan Rockefeller, “Food for Thought, Food for Life,” followed by a panel discussion moderated by Wholesome Wave CEO, Michel Nischan, including panelists Fred Kirschenmann (Distinguished Fellow for the Leopold Center and as President of Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture), Peter Lehner (Executive Director of National Resources Defense Council), Gus Schumacher (Vice President of Wholesome Wave, Former Under Secretary of Agriculture for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services at USDA), Barbara Turk ( Director of Food Policy at Office the of Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services), and Marcel Van Ooyen (Executive Director of Grow NYC). The film and subsequent panel will focus on how the food system impacts our health, environment, communities, and economies, and serve as a conversation starter, inspiring us all to think differently about what we eat, and to make changes that will positively impact our health, our earth and our communities.
A sparse grove of trees – with branches like thought. Some are clear, and some are not. They lurk, hiding deep in the wayward mists that cloud our minds. We hope, that with time, the fog will pass, and the shadows will be lifted… or do we? Perhaps there are parts of our thoughts we’d prefer to not be aware of; seemingly stray trains of thought buried yet again by the glare of the passing bus. For the mind is as ironic as it is beautiful: a raging unrestrained thing, gnawing at the very strands that hold it in place in the first place, shirking all adherence to law and order, struggling to free itself in order to begin yet again.
Thought I'd try something a little different with the finish here: same as usual, but a little more peach fuzz lifting off of the wood grain--a little "earthier." Still plenty of low end, without backbreaking weight, for your parading around! 8¾x20; plied maple; matte wax.

A duo of handmade journals, we are created using brandy colored reclaimed leather with a crinkly appearance.
Measuring 4 ½ x 3 ½ inches, the larger of the two of us is created with both leather and vintage printed fabric featuring farm style scenes across my front and back. Open me up, and you’ll find I begin and end with old reprinted postcards. To follow, you have 64 sheets (128 pages) of heavyweight, richly stained paper for your thoughts, sketches & snippets of things.
At 1 ¾ x 1 ¼ inches, the smaller of the two of us is created with reclaimed brandy leather covers and vintage map endpapers. Inside, I am filled with 30 sheets (60 pages) of heavyweight paper which is the same as the larger journal. I can be used as an inspiration transport station as you move your mini masterpieces to the larger of us. My tiny size makes it impossible to leave me behind; I’ll fit in almost anywhere.
Hand-torn, both our sets of pages have been Coptic stitched with natural linen thread, allowing us to lay flat when in use. We bundle up your words with our long leather wrap ties which secure by tucking themselves in on our backs.
We are a unique set of journals, perfect for urban and country travel.
