Sunday morning I played around with new stones thinking they were going to be grey but perhaps because it is the bleak mid-winter the stones turned a warmer colour. This piece is inspired by Mark's paintings of stones disappearing under water. He is brilliant at that. For both of us scenes like this bring up whisperings of summers spent on beautiful Georgean Bay. For those of you in Toronto don't forget The Artist Project at the Better Living Centre February 21-14, 2019 Mark Berens will be at Booth 506. Strips of plant dyed fabrics soon to become rocks. By Sunday evening I was happily couching away. I have based the background onto an old blanket and it is like stitching butter. The one thing about this kind of stitching is it allows for mind wandering and as I stitched these delicious rusts and browns my mind whispered memories of my beautiful Rusty Pups They are dearly missed As are their antics and adventures. And then as I prepared this post A photo demanded to be noticed So much like my new stones. I have a teacher who always says the piece you start next should always be informed by the last piece you did. Perhaps this means my next piece will have to be seaweed in the colours of my Georgean Bay stones. But I already have soooo many new beginnings just started! But my mind is flowing with ideas on how to go about a seaweed piece. It is so easy to have many ideas isn't it The days just aren't long enough for their execution! I hope you have a day rich in creative ideas.

The Tetons are probably America's most easily recognized mountains, a row of peaks shaped like shark's teeth. (Note that the Tetons were named for their resemblance to something else, but that is because it was men, no doubt starved for female companionship, who did the naming.) Bounded by steep faults in the rock, the mountains rise sharply along the western edge of Wyoming's Jackson Hole valley. Teton sunset from Mormon Row Hikers who venture into Paintbrush, Cascade, Garnet, Avalanche, and Death Canyons, the main routes into Grand Teton National Park's back country, quickly find themselves amid enormous boulder fields with canyon walls towering up on both sides. Although some of the hikes are daunting, gaining thousands of feet of elevation over only a few miles, spectacular scenery and easy proximity to the road naturally draw many hikers. Hanging Canyon The west side of the range is a very different story. Most of the trailheads are miles beyond the highway, at the ends of poorly maintained gravel roads. The trails themselves tend to be much gentler, climbing open slopes that reflect the underlying westward dipping rocks. Along the trail towards Grizzly Creek Last month I spent five days on this gentle side of the Tetons as part of a geology field trip. Beginning at Coyote Meadows trailhead we hiked up Bitch Creek to the uppermost reaches of Grizzly Creek, just outside Grand Teton National Park (GTNP). It was a lovely spot, though thankfully it didn't live up to its name. No bears, grizzly or black. Our second camp, about five miles south of the first, was a greater challenge to reach as the trail crossed over two steep ridges and several times disappeared entirely in lush meadows. Picking it up again took sharp eyes and good map skills. The difficulty in finding the trail reflects just how little frequented this area is. Not counting a few people very close to the trailhead, I didn't see a single person outside of our group for the entire five days. Another advantage of being on the west side of the range is seeing dramatic sunsets over the plains of Idaho. But best of all are the enormous high meadows that, even in late summer, are filled with wildflowers. For an even tamer side to the Tetons, here is my now completed quilt made with vintage blocks that I acquired at a Jackson Hole garage sale years ago. I finished piecing it last summer, but waited until I was a little more sure of my skills with a long arm machine before attempting to quilt it. The blocks were foundation pieced (by hand and by machine) so the finished quilt has a little more heft to it than most quilts. As I mentioned last summer, I used vintage scraps to complete the blocks. The funny thing now is that I can't positively identify all of the pieces I added.

Obsessed with beauty. Obsessed with Adam Levine much to the dismay of my husband. Obsessed with food, especially coffee, cake and cupcakes. Love fashion but if I don't move my arse off Tumblr I won't be able to fit in my clothes. I easily fall in love with words - perhaps that's why I love music and books so much. Beautiful words just gets me in a state of bliss. I am saved. I have a very juvenile sense of humor. I belong in Never Land because I'm still waiting to grow up into a mature adult.

These moments from history deserve a closer look...and nothing brings out the true life of these moments in time than color. So we hand picked a collection of once black and whites, now in vibrant color. Warning, these rarely seen photos are not suitable for all audiences. While these gorgeous colorized photos of the past are definitely a must-see, not all of the stories are fit for consumption, so proceed with caution. Black and white definitely didn't do these photos justice...

Mijn man is van het lange type... Het héél lange type. Groot zijn heeft zo zijn voordelen: - je hebt geen ladder nodig om het plafond te schilderen - je hebt altijd een goed zicht bij optredens - grote mensen komen zelfzeker over en worden niet gemakkelijk onderschat - ... Het heeft echter ook zijn nadelen: - je moet luisteren naar opmerkingen als: "Zeg, hoe is het weer daarboven?" en "Meneer, zou u alstublieft een stoel willen opschuiven? Wij kunnen de voorstelling niet zien..." - de gemiddelde deuropening is 201,5 cm hoog. Bukken is de boodschap! - steevast rugpijn na de afwas, want het aanrecht is veel te laag. Het moeilijkst is nog de kleding! Schoenen in een 48/49 zijn zeldzaam, vaak nogal klassiek en peperduur. Qua armlengte gaat hij al gemakkelijk naar een XXXL, maar voor de rest zwemt hij in de T-shirts en hemden die hij past. Na wat zoeken vinden we meestal echter wel leuke dingen. Moeilijker zijn de lange broeken... De combinatie van zijn lengte en taille vind je gewoon nooit in een standaard winkel. Zelfs gespecialiseerde jeanszaken hebben zijn maat niet in huis. Daarom rijden we één keer per jaar helemaal richting Turnhout, naar deze winkel. Het paradijs voor "oversized men"! Na wat passen, vertrekken we vaak met een broek of 5 naar huis. Het grappige is, dat de broeken in deze winkel standaard véél te lang zijn. Ik ben ondertussen dus specialist geworden in het inkorten van broeken! Ik probeer hierbij de originele zoom te behouden. Deze week was het weer zover... Ik besloot wat foto's te nemen en mijn methodes met jullie te delen: 1. Bekijk hoe ver de broek moet worden ingekort. Doe dit gewoon terwijl de persoon de broek aan heeft mét schoenen. Sla de broek gewoon om. Laat hem / haar ook eens gaan zitten en bekijk of de lengte ook dan goed is. 2. Trek de broek weer uit en meet het omgeslagen gedeelte. De originele zoom meet je niet mee. 3. Je deelt deze lengte door 2 en past het omgeslagen gedeelte hieraan aan. Bvb.: Was je omgeslagen gedeelte 6 cm, dan zorg je ervoor dat de broek nu nog maar 3 cm is omgeslagen. Speld vast. Zorg ervoor dat de zijnaden van de broek mooi in elkaar overlopen. 4. Stik nu vlak naast de originele zoom, helemaal rond met een gewone rechte steek. Voor de afwerking zijn er 2 methodes: a) Je slaat het gestikte gedeelte naar binnen en de originele zoom weer naar buiten. Je strijkt alles goed plat met veel stoom. Je stikt de omslag (die aan de binnenkant zit) vast door te stikken in de zijnaden. Het nadeel hier is dat de omslag soms in de weg kan zitten bij het aantrekken van de broek. Het voordeel is dat je snel klaar bent met verstellen. b) Knip het omgeslagen deel af op ongeveer 1 cm van je stiksel. Overlock. Sla de originele zoom weer naar buiten en strijk met veel stoom. Stik nog eens door, zodat de rand die je overlockte goed blijft zitten. Succes!

To assure the best fit possible, please refer to my INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS by copying and pasting the following address into your browser: http://contrapunt.weebly.com/taking-measurements.html Once you’ve taken your measurements, please paste them into the “Note” box on the Order page. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ How to choose a STANDARD SIZE? I can make standard sizes S, M, L, or XL with small adjustments to better fit you. Sizes are a tricky issue, and there aren’t any hard and fast rules, but I’d say my list of sizes is more European than American. To assure the best fit possible, please refer to my INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS by copying and pasting the following address into your browser: http://contrapunt.weebly.com/taking-measurements.html The best way to know your size is to take some measurements of yourself and use them to gauge your size. I can also modify a pattern to better fit your measurements. For example: You choose size S (Europe 40-42). If your body is closer to the first number, 86 (Upper bust/Torax 86-88 cm), than the second, 88, please tell me. Otherwise, the pattern will be the standard size S of between 86-88 cm for the upper bust. .~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ All sizes, both standard, and custom can be modified to your liking (for example, waist higher or lower; skirt longer, shorter, wider, narrower, etc.). A dress can be made as either one or two pieces as a blouse and skirt, for instance. Please specify any of these alterations by email, or at the bottom of the form “Taking measurements”.
