Ponder Pages

I decided awhile ago to challenge myself with some projects. What you ask? Plastic canvas things that what. I have a number of books and magazines with all kinds of patterns. So after some deciding I choose this one.    I will be making all 101 things in this book. I've already started. Here are the ones I have done so far.  This one is in my bathroom, since I have an ocean kind of theme.  This one needs a home.  This is also for a tissue box and on the side a place for a spare TP roll or whatever else you want to put in it. It also needs a home.  I did make this one also. I gave it to my Mom for Easter. It kind of looks like their house and it's something she can leave out all the time. I'm almost done with the next one. When I get it complete I will post it. I suppose your wondering how long It will take me to get all 101 things done. Well, it could take years. It takes awhile to get one done when I only work on them at night most o

This last week was more than likely the most active one for all so far this year. We all know what they were, but I'll recap. First the bombing in Boston. Three killed and many hurt. So many questions, so few answers, at first. The second, was the explosion in Texas.   At least 14 known dead and hundreds hurt. Once again so many questions and so few answers. Third it was Christmas here again. Don't believe me, here are some pictures to prove it. I think someone forgot to give Mother nature the message that we all should be having spring right now. The sad part is we are in for some more of this white stuff this week.  I think they might have to change the saying from "April showers bring May flowers" to "May showers might bring June flowers". The next thing was the killing and capture of the possible bombing suspects after shutting down a part of Boston for a whole day. I wonder if we will ever know all of the reasons

This a question I was asking people today. Well that and do you think it was a home grown or foreign act? Most everyone said home grown. Which I think it is.  I asked what kind of punishment should be handed out for this kind of crime? Some said hanging, firing squad. Those kind of replies. But others said a quick death is to good for them. Which I agree. Shocking right?  I was looking up different kind of punishments. Here are a few that caught my eye. These are just the ones that might work for someone, but not for me. My idea is to put them on the most remote island that is very dangerous to get on or off. They will have nothing but the clothes on their back. On the island would be a wide range of deadly snakes and insects plus maybe man eating animals and deadly plants. Mother nature will teach them a lesson that will be their last one they will ever learn. It could be the cheapest way to deal with those kind of people.  I'm betting that most would not last n

I didn't forget to write something last weekend, I just have not been in the mood to write lately.  Life for me has been as humdrum as ever. One reason is that winter will not go a way around here. It's still white outside and just won't stop. Sure it does melt but then it will snow again making a bigger mess.  I thought spring had sprung when I saw robins.   But the poor things have been snowed on at least twice since I took this picture. There is a saying that robins will get snowed on at least three times before the snow will go away. Looking at the forecast it just might be a few more times before it stops coming down in snow form. In the mean time I think we are all suffering from cabin fever in Wisconsin. The husband is. It's to muddy and sloppy to do anything outside.   I have been keeping myself a little busy by doing some plastic canvas projects. I decided to pick one of my pattern books and make everything in it. There are 101 different things to
