Sunrise over Diamond Head

Sunrise over Diamond Head. I think my photos will be better as our week progresses. The weather is supposed to clear up today.

spring snow

View from my living room this afternoon:

spring = ice cream

(I'm cheating a little, since this photo was taken last night, but I really wanted to share it.)

032110

The beginning of Spring means the opening of Tastee Freez, the ice cream place that I've lived near for many, many years. My mom used to take my brother and I on occasion.

So I took my husband last night. He got the Snickers Sundae. It's definitely not healthy.

another sign of spring

032010
Daffodils in our front flower bed! How I missed these since they started growing this year, I don't know, but I'm SO glad I saw them yesterday and thought to photograph them.

think spring

031910
I didn't even realize that flowers were starting to pop up in front of our house until today!

How many projects?

I'm playing a game. It's called "how many projects can I make with the same two yards of fabric?" So far, I've made a laptop cover and an iPod case and now......

A sleep mask:
031710

I needed one for my trip next week. 18 hours traveling to Hawaii, 12 of which will be on planes. I so needed this. It may look tacky (conflicting patterns!) but I used what I had.

friendship bread

I made Amish friendship bread this morning. I was actually on day 11 of 10 and needed to do so. (It's currently being eaten up by co-workers, which I'm grateful for. It's not the healthiest bread in the world.)

a sewing afternoon

Sunday afternoon sewing. Pictures of my finalized project will probably be posted tomorrow!

nightstand = new perch

Chloe thinks this is a fun place to play - the nightstand next to our bed.

031310

She especially likes to knock my cell phone off. (Note that she's checking it out since I had just plugged it in.)

Bad kitty.

focus much?

A rainy afternoon/evening/night. Lots of rain. This was taken on my walk to the parking lot. The sidewalk was in focus, but everything else? No such luck.

quiet sidewalk

I shot this photo for You Capture (on my regular blog) and really liked the angle.

031110

It was taken at the Grove Arcade, after 5 p.m. on a Wednesday evening.

junior frosty

When you order a Junior Frosty at Wendy's, you really get a Junior-sized Frosty.

That's my cell phone propped against the cup.

laptop cover

Last night I spent the evening sewing with two of my friends. This was my creation:

tennis

030810
Today I "played" tennis for the first time in well over 5 years. It's probably more like nine years since I played. Today was more of scrambling for the ball.

self-portrait with Oliver

oliver_jaime
Poor Oliver. I forced him into this self-portrait yesterday. He's still cute, even if he doesn't want to look at the camera.

Grove Arcade

This building is literally steps away from my office building. The Grove Arcade in Asheville. I love the Grove Arcade. I shot this when I had to go by the office this afternoon - and I love the blue, blue, blue sky!

030610

The Grove Arcade used to be a public market (until WWII). I believe the government used the building until several years ago when it was renovated and reopened in 2002. I may try to get some inside shots at some point, because it really is beautiful. (It houses local businesses and restaurants and shops now.)

a funny face

This is actually a couple of days old, but I loved the funny face I caught on Oliver a few days ago.

030510

Oliver isn't feeling too great - his age is really showing (today, at least.) I'm hoping the bad days pass and he can enjoy our warmer weather this weekend!

snow day number whatever

030310
Even though it's beyond annoying now, the snow can be really pretty.

(We've had so much snow that all of our schools are headed to school this Saturday and are running out of Saturdays to use for snow days. It's getting a little old.)

ready for spring

030210
I'm ready for spring, as can be seen through my pots and garden tools on the porch. The snow won't let up, though. We could see up to 7 inches today and another 2 inches of snow overnight.

*sigh* My gardening will have to wait.

handmade

I finished sewing two dog beds over the weekend - my first experience with sewing zippers.

I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. (You can read more about them on my regular blog.)
