College Collage


Posted by Picasa

While on a break during Parent Orientation today, I snapped a few photos of some buildings surrounding the fountain area on campus.  It was a perfect summer day, comfortably warm with the slightest breeze and the sun shining happily down. With all the great weather we have had this summer, I did not dare complain about being inside all day.  Alaina got her picture ID today and schedule set up, so now it is countdown to move in day, hooray!

Not only did I get a Parent Calendar, but a drink cup too!  I am really feeling like an official Husky Parent now.

Collage making

Spring Break 2011 Long Beach Peninsula
Well here is my practice collage, photos from a few years back, but still fun memories of a short hike out to the beach, complete with a carcass, we were thinking racoon maybe.  We were down there for Earth Day and also removed quite a bit of debris from the beach on that day too.

Shilshole Marina
A few more collages I played around with today, I really like the Viking Art at Shilshole.

Little things I have made
Some pictures of things I have made out of cotton, felt, wool, stretchy nylon, sewn by hand and on a machine and needle felted and stuffed, trimmed and beaded.

Boating through Lake Union out to Lake Washington

Here are some random photos of picturesque scenes between the Ballard Locks and Lake Washington.
