^ i made a quilt for a friend who’s having a baby… and had a photoshoot with it outside.
^ grass.
i’m so glad mom taught me how to quilt.
and, our garden seems to be doing okay after the big rainstorm we had. the ground is still rather damp, though, so i didn’t water today. and i try to miss the mud under the swing when i’m swinging.

recycled clutch
how-to, photos, wordsthis is what my workspace looked like for a while. the clutch is made out of plastic bags, fused together with an iron. hence the name recycled. i then painted the plastic with acrylic paint, and sewed crazily over it. and i don’t think i’ll post my trade secrets all over the internet, so that’s all i’m telling you about how to make it.
and artistic photos of the clutch finished. and me.
before and during earth day
photos, wordswe hung clothes on the line to dry. because it was earth day and because… our dryer broke.
i started babysitting every wednesday for one family, and this is lorena. I drew the earth, and she wanted to color the sea bluer. so you could see it. i did something else amazing for earth day. check out earth mosaic. you can do it too, and upload photos you took on april 22, 2009.
he wanted me to take a picture of him with his bike.
i love the color in this one.
la de da
photos, wordshere are some faves.
me and my bag and coat and shoes. yes, coat in arizona. it was cool and windy.
this photo represents our food parties. #1 m&m’s and water. #2 ramen and bread and water. #3 jello and ramen and water.
we picked grapefruit and tangelos from our grandparents’ trees.
i love this photo because:
the focus is on the orange one.
the orange one pops.
the orange one, i guess i shall say the tangelo, is in a visual sweet spot.
this one is rather cool.
bit of enlightenment:
putting a jug full of water outside will detract dogs. like un attract them. bother them so they don’t come to the front of your house. supposedly. it works, i think. i didn’t witness it work, but i heard first hand accounts from reliable witnesses.
family photo!
road trip
photos, stories, thoughts, words
funny photo of us in the car.
haha this photo is funny too… and i won’t tell a funny quote clara said, but she asked me not to, but she doesn’t know i already put it on facebook…
we visited a big cross with a statue garden of different scenes from jesus’ crucifiction, and here melissa and daddy are pretending to be disciples suprised at the empty tomb.
it was really windy.
i like this photo of melly… even though she probably doesn’t.
we got to meet our cousin asher!!
Mom got to quilt with Mema.
