Emma 10 months

Emma,
Happy 10 months sweetheart! You are so cute and you seem to grow and learn something new everyday. Today you learned how to unroll toilet paper, what a big girl! Your primary obsessions include, Paper, waving, pulling up, kitties, grabbing ears, and of course Mommy. You love to tell everyone around you that you are there by waving yelling and growling. You can growl on command when Mommy or Daddy growl at you. You seem to have aquired your daddy's love of making noises randomly and loving attention. Daddy made you a board book page to honor you love of being noisy. I love you sweet girl,
Daddy

Art in the Home

Silly tierd time with Emma.

Please excuse the crazy voices in this video. If you look hard near the end (after Emma lets out a whine) you can see her new tooth.

My art

So the art that I have been dabbling with is called Salvage art. You basically find something that is used but no longer being used and turn it into art, it quite fun and there are old doors/windows/bottle caps/etc. all over down here. Here is a few items I have finished.

A few impromptive project, we had a window pane missing from Hurricane Gustav that I had mended with some cardboard. It was time to put some plywood up (wood from remodeling project at work) and I had a little extra so I made a Croc. Croc made of old plywood, eyes are old ceramic electrical trinket and gear (green project).

My Pride and Joy this was my vision when I decided I wanted to start salvage arting. Window frame from a door way (bought at junk store for $5). Alligator made of old shelving unit at work, eyes are electrical trinkets (green project), scales are another trinket from green project. Painted with old paint from neighbors remodel. Mounted on cut out from an old door.

Old outdoor light fixture from green project, filled with beads from 2009 Mardi Gras.
