Sunday Sundry
It's a wrap. Wave Good-bye. She shawl not return.
I finally blocked the wrap yesterday and it's going to be presented to my mother today, at a family birthday gathering.
I tried the steam iron method of blocking, for the first time. It was a stupid choice for big piece like this, as it was a physically taxing chore. So much so, that my glutes and hamstrings are very sore today. I mean like "ouch" when I move sore. How pathetic is that? I'm too out of shape for knitting?
Speaking of being out of shape, you know you're resigned to middle agedness when the "Before" pictures in diet/exercise infomercials start looking pretty damn good.
Photo Buggery
In today's Grand Rapids Press there is an interesting article about local, art photographer David Alan Wolters. Unfortunately, the on-line press article doesn't contain the photo samples, but you can see his incredible work here. Note: It takes a minute for David's site to load up, but it's worth it. For the shots mentioned in the press article (of the human fruit and flower skirts), go to "Portfolio" then "Conceptual. " And if you don't have much time, skip the press article and go straight to David's site. Highlights of the Press article include that he is being featured in an upcoming Ladies Home Journal piece and National Geographic has been keeping a watchful lense on his website portfolio.
In the portfolio, you can also see a fascinating shot of local hero/freak of nature/glutton for punishment Jim Dreyer.
Sheepish Pandering
I'm a Heifer.
She's a Heifer.
We're a Heifer.
They're a Heifer.
Wouldn't you like to be a Heifer, too?
Be a Heifer.
