Move To The Bead by Sharyn Preisig. Sydney Bead and Gem show. Time keeps on slippin’ →. 20 January, 2010. Wow I can’t believe it’s been so long since I updated my blog! I do apologise profusely. The last few months of 2009 just flew by, we were so busy! I think we were away just about every weekend from mid September to mid November! As for December, well that always speeds by in a blink! I didn’t get to do much beading during this time, life tended to get in the way but I did get a lot of inspiration!

.: My Marco. Life will never be the same.

http://takapitcha.blogspot.com/2010/08/my-marco-life-will-never-be-same.html

Wednesday, August 4, 2010. My Marco. Life will never be the same. The ex wouldn't actually provide food for the cat, but rather would set a bowl of Fruity Pebbles on the floor next to the toilet. Sometimes if he was lucky, a package a bologna would spoil in the rot infested refrigerator and Marco would get to indulge in the shreds of rotten meat. The only water available was the filthy toilet water, or water left on the floor after a shower. I was determined to get the cat. I was going to take him. Marco...

Friday, August 7, 2009. If they only knew. Then I wouldn't find such amazing treasures! Something drew me to the stack of 1980's mass produced prints of pastel palm trees and coyotes in howling profiles. There it was, a bronze gilded frame and a huge Maxfield Parrish print. The backing was shredded, save a tiny corner that had an art shop label for The Golden Rule in St Paul Minnesota. Well, even if it turned out to be a repro, it was a great find. The frame alone was worth more than that! I peruse thrif...

Saturday, August 14, 2010. Heloise All Around the House.1965 tips to make your housework fun! I have a passion for vintage books. Cookbooks are a particular favorite because the recipes are so honest in vintage books. So many recipes I come across in vintage cookbooks are recipes Ive never heard of. These books are so worthy of being collected and used a daily reference. I LOVED that column! For those who can never find their measuring tape, make yourself a sewing apron! It's handy when you are sitting a...

.: No, no, no, no, NO

http://takapitcha.blogspot.com/2010/10/no-no-no-no-no.html

Saturday, October 2, 2010. A few days ago I found this ad in a Womans Day magazine. I'm familiar with these "collectible" ads designed to rope in retired ladies with shelves and shelves of tchotchke, but this one really disturbed me. Not only is it one of the most disturbing renderings of a monkey Ive ever seen, but its covered in mohair. HAIR! Its a figurine.with hair. I can never, ever un-see this. October 2, 2010 at 10:44 AM. Its disturbing. yet so amazingly awesome! October 2, 2010 at 6:11 PM.

.: Miss me?

http://takapitcha.blogspot.com/2011/02/miss-me.html

Saturday, February 19, 2011. Soyeah. For a while I abandoned my blog.again.while I upped my efforts to find employment. I daydreamed about the blog. I sometimes would open it just to be sure it was still here. And I plotted for the day I could once again indulge in some leisure time in which to post. So now I am gainfully employed (hurrah! And can now come in and spout my thoughts and observations into the great void in the hopes that someone will see them. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wednesday, December 16, 2009. Originally uploaded by fwwidall. I found this link through another amazing blog (cakewrecks.blogspot.com) And I had to share it with you! He has created a somewhat complex camera sytem and snowflake capturing box and is able to capture amazingly detailed images of individual snowflakes. Their complex structure is breathtaking! It's almost difficult to believe these are formed by nature, and not photoshop (we are so jaded, aren't we? Links to this post. So don't even ask!

Wednesday, October 14, 2009. Kaleidoscopes.A New Shop! I finally did it. I opened a new Etsy shop to list and show off my handmade, stained glass kaleidoscopes! My inventory is on the light side at the moment, but there's more coming.MUCH more! I called the shop CrowsFolly because crows so love shiny objects and are involuntarily drawn to them. I think we all have a bit of that in us, as well! There was a whole world of kaleidoscope enthusiasts out there! So much for a Wordless Wednesday post. Ha ha!

.: Letting the 6 year old inside have her day

http://takapitcha.blogspot.com/2010/04/letting-6-year-old-inside-have-her-day.html

Saturday, April 24, 2010. Letting the 6 year old inside have her day. Packages of twin day-glo pink mounds of soft marshmallow covered with coconut flakes, enrobing a cream filled chocolate cup cake. I suggested letting the kids pick one treat each for later (a clever guise for an excuse for me to make my own selection MWAHAHAHAH! Happily I placed my package of pink, fluffy Sno Balls in the cart next to Raspberry Zingers (niece,) Ho Ho’s (nephew,) and Ding Dongs (brother.). One bite of the cupcake sent d...

.: Happy Birthday, Charlie!!

http://takapitcha.blogspot.com/2011/02/happy-birthday-charlie.html

Sunday, February 27, 2011. Happy Birthday, Charlie! My cat, Charlie, just celebrated his first birthday. Born sometime in February 2010, I brought him home in April. Just a wee thing that fit in the palm of my hand, he had the tiniest meow. He would explore every nook and cranny of the apartment with fearless curiosity, eat voraciously and sleep anywhere like a corpse for 12 hours at a stretch. He would look up at me with that precious, sleepy-cat face and say, "Mow," before drifting off to sleep. He has...
