Is it possible to have a tornado around here in October? That is how hard the wind is blowing today....Freaky!
But I am nice and warm in the house and all involved in crafty goodness!

Hot October 2010

2010-10-11T15:27:00.003-05:00

Still got "camper fever". I wish it wasn't so hot so I could go clean out the new Kenskill....gonna need a HAZMAT suit though. Pic included.

arghhhhhh

2010-09-21T19:16:00.002-05:00

Took me forever to access this.....something about a Google account??
Off to Chicago for a conference that my husband will be attending. I will be in the room doing artistic things......have 3 heavy bags packed with stuff, hope I have enough! If not I will go and forage in the streets....or do totally digital stuff.

What a summer!

2010-08-23T09:20:00.002-05:00

Way too hot all summer.
Big changes.....girl off to college and boy in a far away land.
Caught Shasta fever...lol!
This past Saturday we had to put Tippy, my cat to sleep.

Still May, but going Fast!

2010-05-20T07:45:00.002-05:00

Big Graduation party is coming up fast.................hmmm, when would be a good time to start stressing about it?
Another random photo for the day.......it is of the basement redo.

2010-05-17T07:35:00.002-05:00

Been so long since I was here....I couldn't find it! Been pretty busy,....that's why.
This past weekend was graduation at the college and the coming weekend is our 28th wedding anniversary and high school graduation after that...................and all the parties that go along with that.

Did I mention what a miracle it seems to be able to use the laptop at the kitchen table? We finally got wireless....YAYYYY! Also got an enhancer so that the cell phones would work here but that doesn't seem to be going so well.

I am finding so many inspiring blogs on the internet to look at my head is TOO full.....most have them have to do with reusing, repurposing old stuff. Now if I only didn't have to do laundry and dishes etc. I could get to the store and buy spray paint.....Today, hopefully, today.

Adding a random pic just for fun.

More Sap cooking today

2010-04-01T06:45:00.002-05:00

Get to tend to the fire when what I really want to do is master the art of soldering.....sigh.

2010-03-31T08:14:00.003-05:00

thinking about posting a picture a day.......but we will see.
Going to the big city today, hopefully can stop at a craft store.....I need all kinds of supplies, or think I do.

2010-03-29T07:05:00.003-05:00

This is a work-in-progress...................................

2010-03-28T20:45:00.002-05:00

This is a pic from australia and is my current

screensaver................manipulated in PS, of course.

Spent all weekend making maple syrup.........what a process!!

2010-03-24T06:28:00.002-05:00

Found this pic yesterday and thought it was so cute!

Rediscovered "Digital Challenge" and other groups at Flickr recently.

Have been walking the dog daily, since he can't be let loose after his surgery.

looking forward to a weekend of making more maple syrup.

doing a big faux stained glass window and will put up pics later.

Almost September

2009-08-23T15:16:00.002-05:00

School is starting.....Phil is back at it already....got a new addition to the family....cats don't know what to think.

2009-08-17T16:17:00.002-05:00

August 2nd....where did summer go?

2009-08-02T16:16:00.001-05:00

We sat outside last night and it was cold!....oops, gotta go make dinner..................

Hey!!!

2009-06-25T11:17:00.003-05:00

Iam in Rice Lake Wisconsin this am....sone to be on my way to Brisbane Australia......all three of us (Kyle and Rachel)..........are on computers at WITC, they are watching videos and I am trying to get caught up on all the sites I go to......No time for craftster.org or junkmarket or even utube,...dang.
Have to stop at the goodwill here to get some books for the airplane.

2009-03-03T15:57:00.002-06:00

this is always a challenge ........to see if dial up will actually let me get something new posted here.

Want to add some pics so here goes...............

there sure is some strange things on the internet..................................

What those pics are all about................

2009-02-10T07:09:00.002-06:00

The orchid pic is from last Friday, when we went to the St. Paul Conservatory....too many people, but warm and beautiful. Unfortunately the star gazer lilies were not in bloom yet, I love those.

The Joe pic is..................JOE!! I added it cause he cracks me up. Phil says he has a Aunt Betty look on his face. And speaking of Neinas.....we looked in on Louies cat last night and the poor thing was out of food, although it looks like it could survive months without any.

Last pic is a whole long involved story about how Phil tells a tale about how he is related to Ghengis Khan and how the mongols invaded Poland etc, etc, etc. So that is Phillip G. Khan...........guaranteed to make the offspring roll their eyes.

2009-02-09T14:19:00.001-06:00

I hate dial up!!
this is the second time doing this and I am not gonna type a bunch and then not have it appear here....so more on these pics maybe later.............

Birthday Today

2009-02-06T08:55:00.006-06:00

Today is Kateri's birthday, so I'm officially wishing her a great one here on our blog. Good Health and Happiness to you, and many more... Your sis- JMR

2009-02-05T16:30:00.001-06:00

Wanted to add this one also........................

2009-02-05T15:57:00.003-06:00

Here are some of the results of our PhotoShop playtime yesterday. We started with an old pic of my daughter, Bernadette.
JMResch

2009-02-04T06:41:00.003-06:00

Sometimes this seems like it should be a daily list of all the things I need to get done.....like, go to Louies and visit the cat, sew Kerrys apron, do the dishes, do the laundry (thank you to Cinderella) make a Doctors appointment, send Kristal her baby shower gift, take the over due Australia library book back, sand the bench I made..................and on and on and on..........

Maybe none of those will be accomplished today, but this a.m., JMResch and I will work our magic on a new photo in Photoshop. Having fast internet would really help when it comes to viewing new tutorials.....and I could really use some new inspiration. Stay tuned for the results.

2009-01-30T16:35:00.002-06:00

I am working on my acceptance speech for my award.............ahem......................thinking.................ok, not really, but I am going to try to add Boatbirds blog here and some others if my tempermental comp will let me. I do have a bad headache though, so if this doesn't make sense or work out...well then, there you have it.

January- still stinking cold!!

2009-01-27T08:05:00.006-06:00

Random thoughts on this day...jan.27th 2009

It is below zero again today and I am sick of it! Why can't we bring back all the memories and sensations of 100 degree weather from the summer?? Our brains should totally be capable of doing that.
Talking to Kyle on Skype this morning....it really makes me miss him....HI Kyle!
I still have thankyous to write from Christmas.......
And jewelry to finish for a swap....I think I will post a pic here.
Also got some really fabulous fabric from JMResh and can't wait to sew with.
But chores are calling my name and I suppose I should get dressed for the day.

2009-01-26T16:20:00.008-06:00

Today Kateri and I did a round-robin challenge again and I'm a little worried about the end result. The first pic shows what we started with. I sent it to K and she added the elements shown in the second pic. I wrapped it up and the final results are in the last pic.

Today Kateri and I (we are sisters) worked on an online round-robin

kind of art thing and this is one we came up with. We make one-of-a-kind greeting cards and the saying inside this one will be "... with Lard Sandwiches!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY".

We are going to try to do this type of thing weekly to keep each other motivated since we live 1000 miles apart.
