Handy(wo)man challenge, 2008

This is the “before” and “after”. The before is the fence boards on the far left… I had to tear ‘em apart and then remove the nails and well, I ended up with a pile of old, cracked wood. I didn’t want to burn the wood or toss it so I thought maybe we could [...]

Grass is a growin’!

Progress on the homefront as we got some news to update!

Our grass is growing on the yard area we worked on about 10 days ago or so! Rock on! I think it was a bit too cool for the grass to grow as we went through a bit of a cool spell so the last [...]

This is a photo I saw a few weeks ago, photographed by the AP I believe.
It’s a [...]

Well, we bought some stones for [...]

Finished fences make good neighbours

We have ourselves some very interesting neighbours. My luck is they’d find this blog and discover what I write about them so I’ll use just nice, friendly words. Pretty much they like to keep up with the Jones (and oddly enough, our last name is NOT the Jone’s but you would think it was)…  we [...]

Some more art stuff…

Just felt like drawing tonight so I practised with the crayons
I went from the start to finish taking a pic every now and again. I know that the eyes and notes aren’t quite there but - it’s just a practise! Eventually I’ll be as good as the ol’ Mister Crayola himself!

Could you do this?

Every now and again I stumble upon something that is really cool. Like this guy, Mr. Crayola… amazing, this guy does such spectacular work with the medium of crayon!
So, could you do this?
Don Marco - Mr. Crayola-part 1
Or this? (it’s a bit boring the first 30 seconds, it gets better…)
