My next project challenge for myself


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 of the time while I'm watching TV after supper. 
If your wondering if they are all tissue covers, they are not. You will see as time goes by the different things that are in this book.
I'm just looking for the motivation to keep at it. I have a habit of loosing interest after awhile. That and with summer finally just around the corner I could become distracted. 

So this is my challenge to myself. Just one of the humdrum things I do in my humdrum kind of life.
So don't be afraid to just drop in from time to time to check me out. One question you might be wondering is what am I going to do with all these things when I get them done? Some will be gifts. Others I'll sell if anyone is interested. Look at it this way, they are an original, one of a kind by me. Only one will be made, maybe.

I'll still ponder other things from time to time also. So I guess you'll never know what you'll see when you drop by.

So till next time.
Keep on pondering the pondering possibilities.

Jean Viken Cold Case

When I first started this blog one of the first things I wrote about was the murder of a local woman. She disappeared Jan 29th 2008 on one of the coldest days of that month. Her body was found I think in May of that year. She had been shot. Her van was found not long after she went missing up north. She was the mother of 4 young children and was going through a divorce at the time. Well here it is 2 years later and nothing has happened to try and find the person or persons responsible for her death. Why? I'm sure the whoever was responsible was really not that smart. It's as if the no one wants to get to the bottom of what really happened to her. Maybe she was not important enough. Maybe she was not connected to the right people.  I wonder what it would take to get more exposure to this cold case. If there was more pressure from some place else maybe the ones responsible would start to panic and make mistakes to expose the truth. It's time the truth was exposed. Remembe

Jean Viken update and other local things.

This past week Channel 7 has been doing stories on the cold case of Jean Viken.I did see one of them. In it the police said they know who did it but they are waiting for someone to come forward. But no matter what four young children will be without their mother for the rest of their lives because someone decided to end her life out of the meanness of their heart. Here is the story I found on the internet: Jean Viken's friends and family remember her as a loving mother of four young kids, a devoted daughter and sister. But nearly four years after her murder, a dark cloud hangs over Jean's memory, as they continue to search for answers. "We were having a birthday party for her because all of her friends would have wanted to get together like we would have done if she was here," Jane Hempel said. Almost five months after Jane Hempel reported her sister Jean Viken missing, family and friends gathered to celebrate her birthday, hoping to feel some semblance o

Pondering Japan's Earthquake

Image
The earthquake in Japan is just another wake up call for us. It is so far the largest disaster we are dealing with right now. And with all those nuclear power plants having problems there, it will get a whole lot worse.  The earth is talking to us. Telling us the big change is upon us. Instead of fighting wars in other countries we should be preparing our people for this big change that will change our home, planet Earth, in a way that will make life allot more difficult to survive.  Japan had prepared for this kind of event to a point, but this kind of event to this degree is never fool proof.  My heart does go out to all those who are living through this right now.  I will give one prediction for the near future that some might say makes me sound like a crack pot but it is always a possibility.  Here it is: With all the things happening right now natural disasters and political unrest big changes are inevitable. Governments will fall apart, America included. People will have to rel
