notes from yesterday's farmers' market

Yesterday I went to the local farmers' market with [info]vg_ford it was a good time. I got some pictures of some very nice ideas for more flower pins. It's a good source of inspiration. And, it's wonderful getting out like that. Here are some pictures...

Interesting experiment...

I test rode a bike today. I don't think I'm going to get it since I'm still debating whether I'd be comfortable riding in public (the fact that I'm worried about it, is a good indication that I would be)

Although, the bike is indeed cool.

I haven't been posting much, I know. It's been an interesting month, but I'll have some good news in a little bit I hope.

Oh, as another update, I actually drove for 15 minutes this week! 0_0! (I'm using the local driving school, "Pale Rider" they have license plates like "WhoopC" and "Whiteknuckle" etc. They've got a great sense of humor).

Ack!

It's been a while since I've posted. And since I have no new photos (for many sundry and various reasons, which are too boring to relate.) I thought I'd post a new "Cat Yodeling" video.

Enjoy!

60 hours and it glows in the dark...

Here's another embroidery
Glow in the Dark, 60 hours
(click on the thumbnail for a larger view)
All the white embroidery is worked with glow in the dark floss and sewing thread. (I'm trying to figure out how to photograph it.

I didn't bother showing the back of this one, since they're all the backs are starting to look alike. But yes, it too is embroidered.

The next project is a lace experiment, and then it's time to start evaluating my process, to see if there's a way to get more coherent designs, and a faster method of working.

Current projects

Hi Folks!
Since the clickable thumbnails worked on the last post, here we go. ... (click on thumbnails for a bigger view)

100 hour
This one was supposed to be a quick and easy project. It wasn't so bad, it only took about 100 hours. (there were some false starts, but I think it turned out well) the petals are worked in split stitch and french knots, and of course they're outlined in buttonhole stitch. Oh, the leaves are worked in long and short stitch.

100 hour back
And here's the back. I'm pleased with how the beads turned out.

and here's my first real lace experiment

Interesting find for Heian fans

I found a Murasaki-bot that reads the entire tale of Genji, as well as acts out parts of it, with delicate subtle movements. Apparently it isn't available for sale yet. But still. I want one.

Odd thought on a Wednesday evening...

The internet has failed me!
There's no NCIS, Project Runway crossover fanfic stuff.

(yes, I did find NCIS/Torchwood, but no Tim Gunn and Gibbs slash...The internet needs to make it work)

If there are one or more people on your friends list who make your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the Internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.
