Day 36 - Sunset

This is a portion of the picture I took from my yard of the sunset. It was gorgeous. I had to crop off some of the pic to eliminate the roof and electrical wires. They were not so gorgeous.

Day 34 - The key

Every house needs a key, right? Well my house key is boring *L* So I took a picture of the key and lock to my antique bookcase (which is huge and I love love love it).

Day 33- There's no place like home

This week's theme is "Home Sweet home" and so I thought of this pic immediately. The Women's Retreat my church does has a theme this year of "Follow the Yellow Brick Road". My mother (she's so damn clever, I swear!) found these little clear shoes at the dollar store, colored them with a red marker and then covered it in the Martha Stewart garnet glitter. Then she drilled a hole in the heel and added an elastic cord so that the women can hang them from the rearview mirror of their car.

Day 32 - Crunch time

Ok, technically I took this picture on Friday morning on my way in to work. Sue me ;) We had snow with a lovely (read: sucky) coating of ice on the top. But it made for some neat photo ops, so enjoy!

Oh and as for the rest of today....
GO STEELERS!!!!

Day 31 - Guitar hero

This is a shot of (one of) my Dad's guitar. He really excels at the slack key style (it's Hawai'ian. Good examples would be Ozzie Kotani, Keola Beamer, and Led Ka'apana). You wouldn't believe how uncomfortable it was trying to get the right angle for this shot *LOL*

And THIS! This was an accident that I thought was uber-cool. It's a close up of one of the tuning pegs. Just had to share :)

Day 30 - A rose by any other name...

This is a stained glass quilt that my mother made (isn't she one talented lady?). It didn't come out in the picture very well, but along black edges and within the picture itself there is a really neat shimmery thread.

Day 29 - Scrapbooking

Thought I'd post a scrapbook page. This is one of the pages I did of my high school graduation (HS name pixeled out following the need to know rule. Marvel at the date, tho *LOL*).

Day 28 - Cryptic

I love these word puzzles. They're cryptograms!

Day 27 - Stargazing

It was beautifully cold (ok, not beautifully. It was frickin' freezing, Mr. Bigglesworth!) outside the other night, so that meant clear skies. I took this of Orion over my parent's house.

And this is one, donkey, is of the moon (anyone know the movie reference?)

Day 26 - Hobbies!

Ok, have a week of posts to catch up on! *LOL* Busy week.

My theme this week was hobbies, but there is a hodgepodge of pics, but photography is my hobby,so I think it still works ;)

This is a smocked portion of a baby bonnet that my mother made I don't know when :) I remember thinking that the little machine that does this was just the neatest when I was little.
