At some point yesterday afternoon or evening something happened to Sitemeter and I couldn't get on its site and then I discovered that I couldn't get onto my blog either. I went to another blog that I knew didn't have sitemeter and got right on. I have so much fun looking at the stats on sitemeter to see all of the countries that my readers come from but I made the decision this morning that I had to remove it so I could use my blog.
Here are some more pieces from that little box in my basement. This one is a Trip Around the World. I made 2 of these changing the color of the center in the other one. It reminds me of pictures I saw one time of a Canadian sunset. The color on the screen of the laptop I am using today is not good. This piece is very coral colored and it is pinky on my screen. I didn't realize that my laptop and desktop are so different. I can date this piece by its fabrics as 1992-3.
Here is a lonely tulip block.
At one time period (1993-4) I was playing with pieced backgrounds to collage on. This one reminds me of night.
I have thought abut adding some lace flowers and calling it midnight garden.
My fernleaf tansy is blooming now. This is a prairie type plant too. A friend gave me a couple plants about 14 years ago. This one really spreads underground and is hard to get rid of if you no longer want it. I have dug it all out of this spot twice and it still comes back.
Yesterday my brother, SIL and I took a ride over to our old stomping grounds and we were able to get into the school building that we attended in the 1950's. They are using it for a pre-school and offices now. We were so thankful they had not torn it down. My dad was on the school board when it was built and his name is on a bronze plaque in the entryway. I didn't have my camera with me so I am going to go back one day next week and take pictures inside.
