...makes me happy: 8/2/09 - 8/9/09
http://dotdotdotmakesmehappy.blogspot.com/2009_08_02_archive.html
The things that are bringing me joy. Aug 6, 2009. Caught in a downpour on the Brooklyn Bridge. After a ferry ride to South Street Seaport, a trip through the "Bodies" exhibition (amazing), and a very late lunch, Liz, Meade, Arden and I decided to walk home via the Brooklyn Bridge. Maybe we should have known better, but it looked like the dark clouds were moving AWAY from us. It was dramatic, wet, and exciting. Some of us enjoyed it more than others. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://dotdotdotmakesmehappy.blogspot.com/2010_04_18_archive.html
The things that are bringing me joy. Apr 21, 2010. Another semester of ceramics, this time with a fabulous teacher. I was prolific, if not skilled. I'm looking forward to keeping at it through the summer. Majolica bowl with pumpkin details. Cream and sugar with fern mist glaze. One of several turquoise bowls. The smaller of a pair of owls. To be glazed.I'm working on these now. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Finally, I miss writing and I miss web design. So here goes. View my complete profile.

...makes me happy: ORANGE
http://dotdotdotmakesmehappy.blogspot.com/2010/10/orange.html
The things that are bringing me joy. Oct 14, 2010. Sometimes it's green, but lately it's orange. Not peach, but persimmon. Not Tang, but tangerine. Never rust, but terra cotta. Dale Chihuly - Desert Botanical Garden. In the Seattle Sculpture Garden. More Fall Splendor in Napa. Lichen on Lake Tahoe. October 15, 2010 at 10:42 AM. Especially that last photo (haha).

...makes me happy: Tomatoes
http://dotdotdotmakesmehappy.blogspot.com/2010/01/tomatoes.html
The things that are bringing me joy. Jan 31, 2010. This past fall I bought my requisite pot of basil along with a cherry tomato plant. The tomato plant didn't like the heat but did manage to survive our month away thanks to religious watering. But once the cooler night came along, it started to blossom. Now, in January, it is filled with green fruit of all sizes. A handful ripens each week. This is this morning's harvest. And this is my favorite garden pig snuffling his tiny tomato friend.

...makes me happy: My Needlepoint Pillow
http://dotdotdotmakesmehappy.blogspot.com/2010/08/my-needlepoint-pillow.html
The things that are bringing me joy. Aug 25, 2010. This just back from the finishers. It's a box pillow. I was really concerned about the fabric the finishers might select, so I went out and bought my own. It's a faille; the ridges barely visible in this photo. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had added a border of twisted fibers that pick up the main colors. Wish I could find the photos of the work in progress. Will add them here if and when I do.

...makes me happy: african violets
http://dotdotdotmakesmehappy.blogspot.com/2010/02/african-violets.html
The things that are bringing me joy. Feb 9, 2010. As long as I've had house plants, I've tended a few pots of African violets. My current four pots seems to be particularly happy right now. There are two pots with regal purple flowers (particularly abundant) and two, curly-leaved pale pink blossomed plants. You can see the fuzz on the leaves. February 9, 2010 at 8:58 PM. I have one healthy African violet, but it never seems to bloom. They are definitely a reminde of Nat! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

8220;What are you going to blog about? You don't know or you don’t want to tell me? 8221; He leans over me as I try to find a blog name that isn’t already taken and continues his commentary. “That’s going to be taken. I knew that one would be gone. That’s too cliché. No way that one is still available.” Ah, how fortuitous, I discover this name is available. Thursday, December 3, 2009.

The things that are bringing me joy. Dec 5, 2009. An evening to myself.at home.alone. So a few weeks ago Scott and I had the unexpected pleasure of an unscheduled night to ourselves. Both kids had sleep overs, so we took advantage of the situation and had a wonderful dinner out and saw a very mediocre movie, Men Who Stare At Goats. Don't bother. Of course I've spent nights away from my family, with friends and my extended family, in other cities. But this here tonight, it's been a long, long time. I'm in...
