knitting!

Yeah Its Friday!! Its has been a long week.  Class was cancelled today, I found out once I got there so it was a nice walk.  this also means no homework for this class which is great because in my other class I have tons. 
So I have this bag that I have been working on and i think that I am going to take it apart and start it again.  Its the bag that I talked about earlier, I just don't like how thick it is turning out to be,  of course is about 95% done.  I just want it to be right so I will use it and love it when its done.  I will post a photo when its finished.  When I first started knitting well I think that it been in just the past few years, I can't just plow through and finish it if its not perfect, i have in the past taken things out like four and five times.  I can't tell if its a sign of getting older and wiser or just obsessive

where is spring?

The snow is melting...  I realized just to other day. this thing happens to me every year and every year I realize the same thing in early March, I realize how much January and February Sucked.  I mean While is going on I think that I am handling the loss of light and the cold well getting through the winter pretty much OK, Then in March I realize how bad I mean really bad it, So the light is back, the snow is melting and soon the sap will be running, spring is on her way!!

I have is idea for a series of images of spring, taking photos as the snow melts in the city and photos of all the lays under. 
We will see how that moves forward...


I was able to load a image this morning.  YEAH!!

Unable  to load a photo tonight SAD :(

finding a title

I hate titling my post, It hard enough to know what to say then I have to think of a title.  yuck!   our kid loves to use whatever towel is in the bathroom after her shower.  It is a very big issue in our house.  It drives my husband crazy ( mostly because she always uses his.)  I think she may do it just to get a rise out of him, you got to love the father daughter relationship. 

haven't work much on the felted bag this week.  I have a ton of homework for my color theory class.  I have done it all before but because of some gulch in the system, i am back to cutting squares of color.   

I think that there will be seven images in this series when I am done.  I took over 100 images and have narrowed it down.  I am not sure why I choose seven the number just feels right.  I like the odd number thing.   I plan to post all the photos that I am working on now, not sure how many that is.  

Looking forward to the spring,  It was warmer here then it has been and all the ice is melting.  I am excited about planting my garden and having fresh herbs to cook with again.  
just rambling....

wasting time

Why do I feel like all I am doing is wasting time.  All i want to do is knit and take photos and spend time at the computer editing them and getting the images just right.  I can start something and then before I know it its like 1 o'clock in the morning and i have to get up for work in like six hours.  I am working on a group of images right now that I can't get out of my mind I think about them all the time.  What I want them to be when I am done fiddling they them.  small little images that you have to get really close to before you can make out what they are.  Little stories inside each frame.  
Then there is always the question will I ever sell anything, as I remind myself( as does my very frugal husband) that photography is an expensive hobby.  For a person like me its seems so self indulgent, which of course it is.  
I think that one of the ways I want to use this blog is just to write whatever and then post a image everyday, something that i am working on.  
here is the first in a series.
