Slice of Life Day 1

Jane's Slice of Life Day 1

I am learning the words and abbreviations of crochet. There is a learning curve, and for me, it has been a steep climb up the hill of crochet terms. Like Anna Czerwinska, the oldest person to climb Mt. Everest, I have, in my old age, embarked on a journey up the mountain of crochet.

sk skip

sp space

yo yarn over

sl slip stitch

ch chain stitch

sc single crochet

dc double crochet

tr treble crochet

trc triple crochet

hdc half double crochet

pat st pattern stitch

Translating these abbreviations with a colorful ball of yarn and a number 4 steel crochet hook into a scarf to wrap around my neck is an incredible achievement for me. The air is bitingly cold as I plant my flag at the top of the terms, but I don’t mind, because soon I’ll have my scarf to keep me warm.

Jaimee's Slice of life Day 1

I love Lucky Charms.

I love the green clovers, the pink balloons, the magic rainbow, the swirly hearts, the shooting stars and the blue moons, but I don't like the cereal. I know a lot of people who love Lucky Charms too, and everyone has their own way of eating them. Some people eat the charms first and some eat them last. Some eat them normally and take whatever is on their spoon. I am in the second category. I eat the charms last. Can you imagine having a spoonful of charms exploding with sugary awesomeness in each bite? It is delicious! My favorite part in Lucky Charms is, well, the charms!

WILDLIFE

Jaimee's squirrel

Jane's BlueJay

I heard a bird

S*C*R*E*E*C*H

as he eyed the bird bath

Scaring the squirrel

right out of his path.

For the squirrel

likes to drink

from the rim of the bowl

when the birds are gone

from their watering hole.

So we grabbed

our cameras

to capture the sight

of the bird in the bath

while the squirrel took flight.

Different Viewpoints

I am noticing a few things about our different views when taking photos.

Jaimee seems to go for the MACRO look while I go for a broader view.

Anything else you notice about our different styles?

How are we similar?

Thanks for visiting!

Hey Folks!

It's been a long time since WINK showed you some mother/daughter photos!

The top one is JANE.

The bottom one is JAIMEE.

[Now that I've figured out my iphoto system a bit better we hope to post more regularly.]

Thanks for looking!

p.s. Jaimee stayed outside a loooooong time in pj's taking her photo so she really suffered for her art!
