Color Week: Green
I found Color Week by way of Erin and thought I’d play, too. I really want to improve my photography, and taking part in simple little challenges like this is one way. This is Jack. He’s a life-size doll that my mother made for me. At least, he is life-size to a six-year-old. He’s a […]

As in, I’m trying to be more aware of the special Moments that make up my day. Despite the intentions I declared in June, I have spent much of the Summer hunched over. Hunched over my computer, working, reading email, reading blogs, playing on flickr, posting my own blog. Hunched over my sewing machine, learning […]
