..and what is it that makes you scream?

 
This morning I was inspired by Jocelyn's post to try and do some macro shots and thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and do some sewing at the same time. Hey, I've managed driving a car while shooting, this should have been a piece of cake. Should have been.
So while the kitties slept, I quickly packed out the gorgeous material I'd bought ages ago and set out the pattern pieces for some tote bags. I love the way these swatches look together. My swatch admiration did not last long.

What the hell was I thinking? I swear they have some kind of radar. This is the look I have come to fear...
 
...see the wild glint in her eye? It's Minnie in fucking kamikaze mode.
 
Here's another face that has me casting a quick panicked glance around the room.  She looks like one of those demons in Supernatural when, up until a second ago, they looked completely normal and then all of a sudden their eyes go totally black. God, I should have named her Ruby.
 
 
I managed to cut out my pattern pieces but by then I'd had enough.
 
This project is going to take longer than expected.
And while we're on the subject of the little shits fuckers...damage count is now:
  • One floor lamp (sob)
  • One glass
  • Two picture frames
  • One cushion (snivel)
  • and a lounge that looks like a ...well, like a couple of demon kitties just escaped through the Devil's Gate...man, I'm missing that show

Day 7..otherwise known as 'How do you like them apples?'



I've always been slightly obsessed by this shade of red. Cherry red. Fire engine red. Toffee apple red.

So I kinda lost myself for a couple of hours.




Eating a Starking Red Delicious has never been more fun.

divine chaos

A friend sent me this quote last night...

"Fall in love or fall in hate. Get inspired or be depressed. Ace a test
or flunk a class. Make babies or make art. Speak the truth or lie and
cheat. Dance on tables or sit in the corner. Life is diving chaos. Embrace it.
Forgive yourself. Breathe. And enjoy the ride" - Solbeam

I Googled Solbeam. And found this ..... Incredible blogger.
So I'll take her words to heart these holidays...so much to do ....or not do.

Breathe. And enjoy the ride!
