Truth is so excellent that if it but praises small things, they become noble. Leonardo
My set of 8 different flesh colored satin hangers arrived from Amazon so I have the ArtyBra all pinned in place and ready to deliver. The question is what in hell do I do with 7 additional flesh colored satin hangers... I stuck them in the too-crowded closet for now and they look creepy!
I was in the studio about 5 hours yesterday and noodled around drinking coffee, vacuuming, and putting away stray stuff while working up energy to quilt on the Twins. I didn't think I was making headway but at the end of my day I stood back and can almost see that light in the tunnel. It's so hard to get a needle through, I'm happy I did machie work as I went, even though it doesn't go through all the layers, at least it's holding together the first few for the construction. The machine was again cuttig out as I tied to add a few lines, so frustrating. I spent two hours on the Bernina site and the only 'help' I got was telling me the machine was threaded incorrectly. I don't think so, but I hauled out the manual and followed along step by step and it's exactly what I've been doing right down to the direction the thread exits the spool. So much for that. Other sites offered machine help at $30 an hour, or $45 if it's an 'emergency'. I can't imagine getting this solved through little chat windows unless it's through Bernina itself. Obviously the repair guy isn't my next go-to help since he didn't get it before. But I may have to leave it there again without much hope for resolution. Wish I had somebody I could WORK WITH on this. Damn machine was thousands of $$$ and I haven't gotten a hundred dollars of use out of it. Bitch Bitch Bitch. I'll stop now. Teddy sent this to me, and it's exactly how I feel:
I have a huge crew of guys in orange shirts in my courtyard working on taking out a palm tree piece by piece so the dogs are going crazy and trying to take me with them. I must exit, stage left, and get back to work since today I will enter a cleaned up space for a change. I may just work on the new box I am making to get my mind off machines. Oh, never mind, the new box is to CONTAIN machines. At least I'll be dominant over it, something new. So, on to today's weirdnesses~

Rogan Brown is an explorer of the natural world, both mineral and vegetable. His simply stunning response to the things he finds are these beautiful cut paper artworks which pop from the canvas in textural form. Serpentine roots, branching rivers, blood vessels – it’s not always easy to determine what first inspired what, but they are all the forms and motifs of the natural world repeated throughout many different scales.
A Lego depiction of the following video you've all surely seen already. Once it hits Legos, you know that the shark has been jumped. LEGO builder Iain Heath (“Ochre Jelly“) has created this great LEGO model of Max-Arthur, the cat who wore a shark costume and rode around on a Roomba vacuum chasing a duckling.
Go, Max-Arthur! (WHO named this poor critter???)
Rowboat kit: When Michael Johansson isn’t treating his art like real-life Tetris, he’s making life-size injection molded “assembly kits” of everyday objects.
Here's an eggbeater 'kit' in two colors.
Asten Martin full 1:1 replica kit
And a lawn mower 'kit' Snap it out and assemble. The sign that
3D printing has not quite reached it's potential.
(I couldn't find any pictures of squirrels putting kids to bed...)
