http://colorjoy.com/weblog Art as an everyday attitude. Thu, 11 Mar 2010 08:00:11 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en On March 7, the day was so gorgeous I took a walk. This was the day I found a tiny blooming flower in my yard. There is a school near our home. I decided to go on the swing set for a while. I have always loved swings, though it seems ... http://colorjoy.com/weblog/archives/6873 My friend Susan Hensel lives in Minneapolis now. She was the one who inspired both my "Fabric of Friendship" feltmaking performance/display, and my knitted Self-Portrait. I met Susan years ago in Mid-Michigan (does anyone in Lansing remember "Wyrd Sisters" in Okemos?). She and two other partners had an artspace called "The ... http://colorjoy.com/weblog/archives/6865 Here she is: There seem to be no affiliated leaves with this bloom, though there are myrtle groundcover leaves not too far away. Must be myrtle/periwinkle, though at this angle she sure looks like a tiny morning glory! Most of the neighborhood is covered in snow. Around sidewalks and homes, there are ... http://colorjoy.com/weblog/archives/6859 Our family just increased by one. I'm now an aunt, again. The little girl is merely 5 lb 8 oz as of Wednesday. She is a week old today, Saturday. The sweet girl is well and beautiful, and the parents are glowing. (Tired, but glowing.) I have made a point of not ... http://colorjoy.com/weblog/archives/6851 Brian just got a new camera. He was testing it out while I was working, laptop on the couch. He got this photo. Somehow, only a tiny bit of the real mess and all of the color in my world, got into the photo. This was not staged. Welcome to a ... http://colorjoy.com/weblog/archives/6842 Here is a photo of the daffodil buds I saw Monday. I took this photo about noon on Wednesday. As a point of reference, this is a photo taken in the same session (the view which was behind me when I took the above photo): And this is a photo out ... http://colorjoy.com/weblog/archives/6825 I went for a walk with friend April on Monday. We walked along the side of my house, where I do not often walk before dark. For some reason, I noticed that there were a few inches around my house before the snow started. Apparently a little melting has been going ... http://colorjoy.com/weblog/archives/6820 Brian and I decided to go out to dinner. We stopped at the office supply store to buy my TurboTax program on the way there. I'd run out of hair conditioner that day. I realized we were a few doors down from Target, and we could run in there and get ... http://colorjoy.com/weblog/archives/6815 As I work on my taxes for 2009, I sometimes need to look up a photo from the past year (I make photo images of all my checks that I deposit, rather than making paper copies for my files). I found these photos as I worked. This is a TWX/Telex ... http://colorjoy.com/weblog/archives/6804 I think I need some. Despite the sign, I found nothing on the shelves called "control" anything. Wouldn't it be handy if one could really buy such a thing? http://colorjoy.com/weblog/archives/6801
