explaining my life to strangers
New camera! Not as fancy as the last one but new, shiny, working, red and much smaller. I didn’t know how many pictures I take or want to take until I couldn’t anymore. Well, except for the old, non-digital, film-based ways. I still have two working cameras in addition to the digital one, ahem.
Also, only two more days before the project “Farbe bekennen” ends.
When I was a teenager I hated all things brown because brown was the color of Nazi uniforms. Since then I have come to realize that brown is also warm, and the earth, and lovely, and the color of the robes of the buddhist sangha whose meetings I sometimes attend. So, these days I like brown very much.
I’m cheating again, because this is a picture my son took today at the confirmation of my husband’ s niece. A little while later, when he gave the camera back to my husband, the camera fell down on the same boards that you see in the picture, and now it’s broken. I don’t know if it can be fixed, and I don’t know if I can continue the last six days of the project “Farbe bekennen“. It is a joy, though, to see the pictures he took with my camera, a much better camera than his which is little better than a toy (and which wouldn’t have mind being dropped, but it wasn’t really my son’s fault, it could have happened to anyone). It’s really great to see what he was interested in. Also, now I have a lot of pictures of people’s midsections…
Finally a color whose name is the same in English and in German. That’s because it’s French, obviously.
Again, I had a hard time finding something beige so I cheated a bit. This shot is part of the series that I took for my very first blog header back in February 2006 when the blog was still called “Diapers and Music”. In the end I didn’t take this one because you couldn’t really see the music part, that is that all the things sit on top of my piano:

And another one of my botanical garden shots. I should do things like going there more often, I took a lot of nice pictures there.

When you take a look at that picture you’ll see why I’m posting so late today. (Shame on me. I should be in bed by now. Susanne won’t get a sticker tomorrow.) I actually had a shot that was way cooler save for the fact that I didn’t use flash and therefore it looked all orange-y.
I just finished sewing a dress that I started two years ago. And it fits, and I love it, and I made a matching purse! The purse is somewhat cute, and much too small. I’ll tell my husband to take pictures on Sunday when we have a family thing. Also there are two pieces of lining fabric in the picture that I didn’t need.
The sheet music is a fake because it’s a piece of waste paper that I used to draw the pattern on. The purse pattern, not the dress (don’t look at the ugly stripey thing, click on the small image with the jungle print, version B, that’s the one I made).

Hey, I’m back again! Now we’re entering the greens which I love. Here you see a picture of one of our new water bottles, and the flower pot that my son’s bread came in for Mother’s day. They made a yummy sunflower seed and buttermilk bread that they baked in these clay flower pots, decorated with a cardboard flower and a card with a sappy poem. Of course I cried when I read it.
