More Recycle Mayhem and My Husband's Photography
















While I am happy to report that the mannequin finally got the picture to the proper place and up, I am sad to report that I did not make it to 100 items by my deadline. I missed it by eight.

If I count the pairs of earrings I made as two instead of one, I am there. But I didn't clarify that rule when I started.

I'm going for it again this week. I like how having a numbers goal keeps making things in my mind at all times.

So here's what's been going on since Wednesday! Recycle Mayhem!

Recycled Chain and Memory Wire Fringe Necklace. Sometimes the best way to get rid of a knot in a chain is to use your wire cutters!




















Toliet Paper Roll Wreath! Finally finished and beautiful!




















And I had another item here and the photo has vanished. Sigh! I hate it when my blog eats my photos. It was probably because it was my oatmeal box art. It's listed on Etsy if you are really interested.

Speaking of oatmeal, here is a series of photos taken by my husband last night with my interpretations. (I say "speaking of oatmeal" because our carpet would take an oatmeal spill well.)

His feet. I find many photographs of this particular subject. Someday I shall gather them all in one place and create a coffee table book.
















Here is a statement where he combines the title of a book and the snowflake-like design on the bookshelves.













Here is a cute photo of Snoopy.















And then a capture of Petey's demon side. Just in time for Halloween! Thanks, Honey!

In a New York State of Mind

I'm in a New York State of mind today.

Since I'm not feeling too well, I turned on the Today show and started thinking about travelling. And then I started to think about New York.

Skippy and I went in February of 2007 to see the rehearsal of Saturday Night Live. We went for several days and walked mile after mile. Skippy and I both like to explore in a meandering whatever catches our attention way.

It was freaking cold when we were there... but I had to pull out a few photos from that trip and post them here.

This is a church we took refuge in from the cold for a few minutes. There was no one inside. Tremendous.



This park had amazing sculptures. I just remember I wasn't sure if I really wanted to take my mittens off to pop off a couple shots.



Below are a few photos from the old port in NYC. And the Spam painting was in the neighborhood and I just thought it was funny.






Skippy gets on camera at Rockerfeller Plaza because he's just that good.



Quintessential view from my friend Andrew's apartment in Queens.



Alright. I'm back to the reality of Southern California and it's warm temperatures and sunny days... sigh.
