When I first started this LO it was meant to be the LO I posted yesterday with the stitched frames. But as I made the LO my bits of paper were too big so it morphed into this. I bought the cassette tape stamp from Etsy.  In the middle of the papers is a strip of washi tape with layers of paper and a cut out stamped image layered on top.
The photo is of my three and their cousins who came to visit us in Holland one summer.

beach Boys

I have completely stolen the idea for this LO from a design I saw on the Studio Calico was by a Lady called TammyG. I loved the stitched frames she put round her pieces of paper. I made mine with bakers twine. This is one of my favourite photos of the boys messing about on the beach Arthur, in the background, appears to be at a rave.

Sunshine Reggae

The last summer holiday themed song of the summer for Scrap it With a Song. This week it is Sunshine reggae by Bob Marley. I used the song title for inspiration and chose the yellow colours to go with the title and the golden glow from Nancy's jumper.

holiday circles

I seem to have taken a few circle photos on our recent holiday to the Netherlands. So from right to left we have..
The menu from a pancake restaurant
A mixed flavour slushie
A jellyfish on the beach

I found these cheap spiral paper clips in the supermarket really cheaply.

Tuesday, 27 August 2013

I love the soft colours of the sea in these pictures of Arthur on the beach. He loves to have his feet in the water even when it is freezing cold and he needs to wear wellies.

Junior showcase

Nancy does theatre school lessons every Saturday morning and they then do a show in the spring term to showcase what the little ones have been doing. No costumes just their talents on show. I didn't get a great view so the photos are taken through a crowd of heads. Nancy took the starring role of the Ugly Duckling in her groups performance.

adorable hair

i love, love ,love the colour of my daughters hair. I just hope she will love it as much, i don't want her to dye her hair like my sister did throughout her teenage years.

angel with a dirty face

I'm in the mood to use up some older paper in my stash. This is an old American Crafts paper that I love but the big bold pattern held me back whenever I thought about using it. So I used a large block of it to show off the pattern. At the top there are some lines of bakers twine that I stuck across the page.

It's called Angel with a Dirty Face because if you look closely you can see that Nancy has a big ring of something orange around her mouth.

Friday, 23 August 2013

hand drawn

Nancy love to draw ( apart from when I ask her to ). These are apparently attempts to draw her teacher ( I thought one of them was a man) .
I tend to take pictures of what she has drawn because its difficult to store all her pictures. There are a few Los with photos of Nancy's drawings coming up in the next few weeks.

Thursday, 22 August 2013

Zaanse Schans

I was inspired to make this LO by something I saw on Scrapjacked. I loved the way that circles had been cut from the same paper and layered to break up the pattern.

When we knew we were leaving the Netherlands we made sure we visited all the places we had wanted to visit but not got round to yet ( apart for one disasterous visit to The Hague so i could see the Girl with a Pearl Earring we were pretty successful) this photo is from our visit to the Zaanse Schans with its row of windmills.

lots of dots

I wasn't sure how to approach the latest challenge at Child's play challenges. It's Dot to Dots this week so I printed off a dot to dot picture , completed it , and then used it as a patterned paper. I also found a Smash Book page that was a dot to dot but I mostly covered that with the title. I used a picture that showed off Nancy's freckles to go with the title" lots of dots".

The dot to dots then inspired my youngest two to print some dot to dots from the computer and complete them so now I have some lovely pictures of them completing them on the floor. Stay tuned to see those on a page but my printer is out of ink so it may take a while to get them sorted.

Mascot trails

Do you ever take so many photos of one thing you don't know what to do with them all? I feel like that about the photos I took of the Olympic mascot statues in
London last year.i took close up details of my favourites as well as pictures of the children with all the ones we found.I squeezed four of the close up pictures onto one LO.

I chose four pictures that had garden type themes and then added a bunch of flowery bits in the corner.
My title actually includes only one correct letter. The m is a w. the a is a cut down d. The s was an 8. The t is two straight bits and officially the o was a zero.

Team of Three

When Stanley was at school in Holland he was following the International Baccalaureate programme, as part of that they had to produce a presentation to practice for what they wold do in order to graduate. Stanley was in a team of three and they chose the European Explorers as their topic. They had to stay with the poster and explain it to the visitors. I have to say Stanley was pretty good at staying and explaining while the the others went round and looked at everyone else's.

Saturday, 17 August 2013

This LO is for Scrap the Boys. The challenge monochrome with chipboard and twine.

So my monochrome is blue obviously and I had to resort to chipboard letters . The twine I glued down onto punched circles to create the striped dots you can see on the LO.

The photo is from a trip to Madame Tussaud's. Arthur had a photo with ET on the bike in the movie section.

Friday, 16 August 2013

This LO is for Scrap the Girls. It is a recipe challenge this month. You have to use

Chipboard- I have the photo holders and a circle piece
Flowers- I used three
Masking - I tried and failed - I used a ring sticker and dripped the mist over it but not enough for the circle to actually show
And doodling- I am not good on doodling so if you look really close there are three little hand drawn hearts and some wobbly trails from the butterflies

Summer 2013 Bucket List

so if you saw yesterdays LO you will see the similarities.. I used the left over paper from the Holiday LO and used the strips a. Bit differently, I only had a few so I mixed them with some strips from the bottom of the papers. By the time this LO posts I hope we will have ticked off a few of the items on our summer bucket list

Here it is
1. Smurfs 2 ( Tuesday 13 August)
2. Monsters University ( Monday 22 July)
3 festival of History ( Saturday and Sunday 20/21 July)
4. Beach at Minehead ( Saturday 13 July)
5. Ashes Cricket ( thursday 1st August)
6. Warwick castle ( Wednesday 24th July)
7. Kenilworth Castle ( Monday 12th August) Direction Movie
9. Alnwick Music Festival ( Sunday 4th August)
10. Grace Darling Museum ( Saturday 3rd August)

The next challenge for Scrap it With a Song is the 80s classic Holiday by Madonna, what better to use for the LO than the title of the song.

A couple of photos from our spring holiday in the Netherlands. I have never had an ice cream in such a long cone before. I'm not sure you can really sense the scale of the cone but it was massive. Arthur is not a great poser for photos so most photos look a bit like this. I like this one though because he is smiling beautifully.

Nancy Selfie

This LO is for Punky Scraps. The challenge was a colour challenge with chipboard on the LO and a mood board for inspiration. The colours to use were..... Grey, purple, leaf green and peacock. I love purple but I find it a tricky colour to scrap with. There doesn't seem to be much about and I only had one scrap of paper and some card so I used what I had and punched the card to make a border. I used the peacock feathers from the paper as an embellishment. I used some really old chipboard circles to embellish my LO as I really have very little of it.

The LO is about the self portrait NAncy took of her feet. She loves taking pictures of herself including her feet.

Wednesday, 14 August 2013

mummy mummy

This LO is for White With One. The challenge this month is white with pastels and masking- well I managed to get some misting on which is good for me. I used a lot of bits and bobs that were on my desk. I am so loving my bird cake toppers at the moment. Much better used on a LO than stuck in a cake I think.

The LO is called Mummy Mummy because that's what Nancy was saying when I took the photos. The whine of Mummy Mummy and the associated pulling and patting drives me mad but I know I shall miss it when they are all grown up.

This LO is for the challenge at Sarahs Cards   you can see the sletch below.
i swapped things round a the LO of the photos but i tried to keep the banner elements at the side and the large embellishment at the top.

I've used a few Project life cards on the LO including the title- Snapshots
the photos are all from the swimming pool on holiday. I tried to get some good shots of my three coming down the water slide but wasn't really successful.

Tuesday, 13 August 2013

And Nancy Scraps too.

Nancy has started her own scrapbook. She used to mess around with bits of paper while I scrapped so now I've passed her a scrapbook of her own and lots of bits of paper that I was unlikely to use. Her results are..... Interesting. Judge for yourself below. ( remember she is only six and all of it is her own work.)

This my second Shimelle challenge of the day. I used three pictures of my children on a big swing to put down the middle. I offset the line a little from the sketch

Trying to get this LO posted quickly in time before Shimelle's challenge finishes today. I have another to go as well . Shimelle's sketch has four squares. I made only two of them photos and not three. The other two are project life cards so I rounded the corners of the photos. I missed out the big pieces of paper because I wanted the background paper to show more.

80s footballer

on Comic Releif day this year the schools dress code was something fro the last 25 years to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the charity. Arthur went in a Wham t-shirt and Stanley went as an 80s footballer complete with moustache.

Going Underground ( again)

I think I keep using this title. I certainly keep taking picutres of the family on the London Underground when we visit. I have even been known to take pictures of the pattern of the material on the seats ( when we are in a uncrowned carriage at least).

Thursday, 8 August 2013

Last day

I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest to make the border on this LO. The LO is about Arthur and Nancy's last day at school in Holland. I took a picture with their teacher as Nancy wasn't on the school photo at the beginning of school as she hadn't started. I thought the colours of the paper went with the colours of the photo. Notice all the displays had been taken down from the walls as it was the last day.

keep shut @ the War rooms

Last Easter we took a trip to London and visited the Cabinet War Rooms in Whitehall, the underground offices used during the World War Two blitz. There are two photos on this page, one of them is a sign painted on the wall and the other is Stanley posing with a fake cigar like Winston Churchill.

Tuesday, 6 August 2013

This is Life

A scrap lift of a LO I saw somewhere . I apologise as aim hopeless at recording where my ideas come from. I tend to copy and paste into a power point and then print off as a handout for inspiration ideas without recording where they have come from.

When we were in Belgium last year for our summer holiday we visited Ghent. There were letters alongside the canal and luckily enough there wer letters S, A and N for each of my children so we, of course, made them pose next to their initial.

Monday, 5 August 2013

Lekker Isje

this LO is from our May holiday to Zeeland. We visited a little town called Veere that we had never been to before and had the most delicious ice cream ( well four of us did Arthur decided he wanted a slush from the shop down the road.). The title means delicious Ice cream,in Dutch,  in case you were wondering.

Sunday, 4 August 2013

In the Dunes

A quick LO from our trip to the Netherlands in the May holiday. The beaches have wonderful dunes at the back so I took a picture of Nancy in the long grass on the dunes while the boys played cricket on the beach.

Saturday, 3 August 2013

cheeky Gibralter Monkey

When we visited Gibraltar we had to go up the rock and visit the monkeys. They were exceedingly cheeky at the top of the rock, stealing bags and food from the visitors. I took this picture of Nancy with one in the background, she wouldn't get any nearer as she was petrified of them.

Friday, 2 August 2013

Hoot- Mini Golf

i have loved being on the design team for From Screen to Scrap- there have been such great challenges but at the momnet Shazza has decided to mothball the site for a while while life intervened as it always does.

This then is my last LO for From Screen to Scrap, at least for a while, the poster for inspiration is Hoot. the only requirement this last time is to get an owl on your page somewhere

With You - where the Streets Have No Name

The summer holidays are here at Scrap it With a Song and there are a number of holiday themed songs coming up this month for you to get inspired by. The first song is by U2 - where the streets have no name.

The song title inspired me to use a map paper and then I used the line "only to be with you" . You can just about see Arthur in the background of the photo. The photo is from our summer holiday in Belgium last year. I love the fact that on the continent jars are designed to be reused after. They come in the shape of a drinking glass and these ones had Smurfs on - perfect for a jar of mustard.

Today's weather here in Minnesota made it difficult to choose between finishing a scrapbook page or going outside ... well, I accomplished both!  A good day indeed!
I will be blessed with a 4th grandchild in a few short weeks. I created this page for his baby book:

I've been frustrated in the past with my attempts to scrapbook ultra-sound photos. Let's face it, the black-greenish imaging is difficult to work into the baby boy blue color scheme. So.... here's where I placed the photos ...

Yep ... open the card and there they are!

This page is going to:

The Spring Color Challenge at Heart to Heart. I used these CTMH colors: Sky, Sweet Leaf and Sunkiss Yellow

Challenge 42 at Shopping Our Stash: I used two embossing techniques on this page to create the dots on the photo folder, the striped green paper, and the framing on the base cardstock.

Supplies Used:
Papers and Inks by Close To My Heart
Lettering: Cork Alpha by Close To My Heart
Ribbon, buttons, twine by CTMH
Cricut Cartridge: Art Philosophy
Tape label printed with a Brothers Labeler
Butterflies punched with a Martha Stewart punch
Border punch by Fiskars
The polka dot paper: see THIS post
The background cardstock was made with Sky Ink and a brayer.
Baby Connor is due on Easter Sunday .... stay tuned for more baby boy pages!

Thanks for stopping by!
Comments are always welcome and appreciated!

  1. You really put your heart into this layout & it shows! There are so many cute details here, and the way you incorporated the photos is awesome. Thanks for sharing this fabulous layout with us at H2H!

  4. Great idea! Love your layout. Thanks for playing with us at H2H!

  5. Wow, I love all the details on your page. What a clever way to present the ultrasound photos! Thanks for joining us at Shopping Our Stash!

Mux Obliged

Thanks to the inspiration of Nick Hennies, I have made a muxtape.

Muxtape seems to be some sort of online mixtape website.

I decided to set myself some parameters: only songs that you could listen to in the car or while washing dishes, nothing too arty or dynamically extreme, and songs about which I might have something interesting to say. I figure that the point of this sort of thing is to invite friends to actually listen to the songs posted. I think most everybody I know would like these songs.

I am going to write about this muxtape with the following parameters: each piece gets written about in no more time than it takes to listen to the song. This will include checking wikipedia, and naps, and other things, so this might not be the most
helpful guide:

1)Takeshi Terauchi: this is really dream music for me... it combines the kind of gorgeous farfisa/rocksichord melodies I always hope will be in martial arts films from the 60s, but only ever find in Seijun Suzuki's movies, incredibly awesome Nokie Edwards meets Sonny Sharrock clean tone-treble pickup guitar playing (with no reverb-- a godsend for the reverb-allergic surf fan, which is sort of like being a matzoh-ball allergic Jew). The form is also wonderful---almost meta-hockets between 2 or 3 aural areas, and the glue of monkees-style country fills.

2) Judee Sill--"The Pearl": I have raved about Sill before, but I had to include this, because this may the single most beautiful song in my collection. I have 29 gigs of music that I love on my ipod, but I listen to this song every time I turn it on.

3) Stonewall Jackson-- "The Alcohol of Fame": I usually hate jokey country songs, and I really hate puns, so this is a weird one for me. To be honest, one reason I love this song so much is that I didn't realize it was a pun for weeks after I got the record. I just loved the metaphor of "alcohol of fame" and how apt it seemed for our current moment... this one though, also, proves that great country sidemen are the greatest thing in the world-- I am pretty sure this is Lloyd Green on pedal steel and Charlie McCoy on harmonica....

4) Bootsy's Rubber Band: In high school, I loved p-funk more than almost anything else in the world. After I got into sullen slow music, I felt I had to renounce funky music... and I hated the frat boys who loved funk music... but this was an epic mistake. This music really is utopian in the best sense-- and suggests the pertinence of things that go "wah,wah, wah" to collective happiness. Bootsy is also one of the best singers in the history of music... his gloss on Houng Dog is better psychedelic intertextuality than DJ Spooky's whole career, and the synth strings are so mind-blowingly rad. I also love how wide the pocket is. Bringing me to a question: what is the widest pocket on record? Or, more nerdily, how many bars does the longest funk groove go before returning to the one?

5)Hackberry Ramblers, "Jolie Blond": I think this one is on the Harry Smith anthology, but I could be wrong. This is of course a blindingly obvious choice for a cajun tune, but what the fuck, it is perfect. First, it is a waltz. Why do I forget that I love waltzes? Like, I would be in an all waltz band. I would even understand if people thought we sucked. I just think it is the way to make music, unless a really convincing argument otherwise can be made. Charles Stivale used to write essays on Louisiana music and Deleuze and Guattari, which I thought were dumb, but which I now see the point of, listening to this...

6) Bushwick Bill-- "Little Big Man" So darned great... Bushwick Bill's music always reminds me of the famous story about James Baldwin, who responded to an interviewer's question: how did it feel to grow up poor, black, and gay with the answer: "I thought I hit the jackpot." Bill's control of the line is truly remarkable, and the lyrical tricknology is always 3 times more sophisticated than it needs to be to still rock. Also, the bit of dancehall toasting makes me deliriously happy. Finally, the semi-cheesy rock groove is really effectively deployed. Sue me.

7)Nic Jones--"Us Poor Fellows": Nic Jones occupies so deep a place in my heart I can't really write about him. I was introduced to his music by Martin Arnold, who may introduce everybody to Nic Jones, but when he played me his record Penguin Eggs I felt that something intended for me was being beamed into my brain. With the exception of Derek Bailey little else has struck me thus. This comes from an incredible record, a ballad opera called, I think, the Transports. It has all of the amazing British Isles folks doing ballads, woven into a theatrical narrative of some sort. This song recurs 4 or 5 times. Anyways, it is one of the most touching and moving labor songs I have ever heard. A recipe-- this song, welsh rarebit, some glensomething whiskey, and Linebaugh and Rediker's Many-Headed Hydra. Also, the orchestration, by the Collins sisters (or one of them, at least) is so fucking righteous-- odd goreous polyphony, the beloved musical ethic and social philosophy of my dear friends in Toronto.

8)K-Rob/Rammellzee-- "Beat Bop": embarassingly enough, I didn't hear this tune until very recently. It is brilliant, beguiling electro... I have become really interested in Rammellzee recently... his rap, the second voice on this track, is wildly mind-melting. The cello (?) that intercuts his part is a beautiful choice.Of course, the choice of so reverby a track for a mixtape by a reverb-hater is perverse and probably lame... This song also features in Style Wars, one of my favorite movies ever... very worth seeing, if any of you are looking for a good documentary with lots of footage of Ed Koch looking like a total dick.

9) Blind Alfred Reed-- "How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live": I fear that this is also on the Harry Smith anthology, but maybe I am confusing it with the Bristol Sessions. Anyhoo, Blind Alfred Reed is to my mind the great labor poet of the American old-time tradition. This song is so fucking hardcore and militant it is hard to believe that it was published. Reed also did religious songs in the masochistic/self-flagellating Methodist tradition, I think.... inteteresting. We usually think of the latter as
depoliticizing. We're wrong, I guess.

10) Henson Cargill-- "Skip a Rope": Great late 1960s Nashville production, Cargill's voice is fantastic, the guitar fills are pure brilliance (I have to asume James Burton, but who knows), love the finger snaps. I am into this song for many reasons, but one of them is that it is part of an important body of late 1960s country social protest songs-- usually ignored by historians who think country was all "Okie" in this time... between Cargill, Lynn, Paycheck,Campbell and others, there were tons of protest songs way better than "For What It's Worth" coming out of Nashville.

11) Judas Priest--"Rapid Fire": I was never a big JP fan in my teen years, but now I cannot get enough. Rob Halford is a total genius. The riff to this song is really heavy. I love riffs, but I don't like playing them. I like playing widdly widdly solos. This song has some of that too!

9)Archie Shepp-- "Blues for Brother George Jackson": Beautiful tune from the 1972 record "Attica Blues."

Time: lapse or waste Time: lapse or waste Time: lapse or waste

Sometimes I hate technology, or at least I don't like it very much. Anyone who knows me might find that surprising as I appear to have I love for gadgets. I love what they allow me to do - more things in less time. Usually.

The timelapse above is a good example of my love hate relationship with technology. Without my digital camera, intervalometer and various other devices it wouldn't have been possible to take the series of photos that make up the timelapse. Without a computer and the necessary software it wouldn't have been possible to process all of those images, nearly 1000 in total. More software to assemble the photos into the piece of film that you now see. Finally, thanks to Tim Berners-Lee, somewhere to put the video so that everybody (with the necessary technology) can see it. Technology is a wonderful thing.

It's also a terrible thing. It caused me to waste a lot of time in the production of 40 seconds of video. The hours I spent standing in a field in the Pyrenees were definitely not a waste of time, although in the beginning it was a bit nippy then it got quite hot and I had to keep the camera shaded and the flies off the lens. That is the part of my job that I love (not the flies), that zen like time when there is only me, a camera and the idea in my head. Processing the photos was also very simple and straightforward (thank you
Capture One Pro), although it took my computer five hours to complete (a reduction on the 12 hours that it was threatening me with in the beginning). While it was working, I was free to do something else, or do nothing - that’s good technology.

Now all that remained was to assemble the photos into the 40 second video, this is where technology let me down, or perhaps it just worked less well than it normally does (or I expect it to). To create the previous four second timelapse I made, I used a plug-in for Aperture. So I imported all my finished photos into Aperture and then selected the plug-in to export to, and just like last time I got a timelapse, and just like last time it was four seconds long (it hasn't compressed all my photos into four seconds, it just stopped after four seconds of film). I had a quick look on the net to find out if there was a simple solution but I couldn't find one (I could have spent more time looking, or would I have wasted more time looking?).

So I decided to use iMovie. According to someone on the web it was very easy to make a timelapse from stills in iMovie - no it wasn't, not for me anyway. I tried with the new Mavericks iMovie and also with the old iMovie I had before, neither helped me reach my goal. Back onto the web, now looking at professional software for making timelapses, reading the reviews and trying not to spend too much money I found an instructional video (note to instructional video makers: please provide a written transcript because I can read much faster than you can talk then I can skip all the bits I already know) on how to use Lightroom to make a timelapse. I cleaned the cobwebs from my 2009 version of Photoshop elements and had a look at my Lightroom, of course the necessary plug-in was missing so I thought that's enough time wasted (I felt that if I looked for the plug-in, and even if I found it, I knew it wouldn't work properly if I downloaded it).
Time to find a quick and easy solution. The cheapest option was QuickTime Pro, yet more time evaporated as I had to read the instructions on how to enter the registration code (what’s wrong with opening the program and entering it in
Preferences?). I managed to get it up and running, even so, it didn't give me a functioning preview, on the preview window it did show 40 seconds so I thought that must be right. Still not finished though. According to the instructions you should choose the first photo in the folder that you want and make sure all the photos are sequential. For some reason QuickTime decided to include the four previous photos from the one I selected, which were test shots, so when I finally got my movie it jumped and flickered at the beginning. An easy solution here - delete the four files and start the process again.

If it weren't for technology I would never have been able to make this timelapse. But the very same technology also caused me to waste a lot of my time. However, I think that lapse is more my fault than technology's (although that doesn't stop me getting upset with it when it doesn't, or can't, do what I want). If I read instructions, planned and thought a bit more, I would be more productive. Day by day, technology provides us with the power and ability to do amazing things, but we mustn't allow ourselves to be distracted by technology, it is the means not the end, we must not lose sight of what we're supposed to be doing. Technology offers myriad possibilities, but we should ask ourselves whether or not we really need that software (with its associated learning curve), or where productivity ends and timewasting begins on social media. Otherwise, our time will will become a timelapse and we will look back wondering where it all went and how it went so quickly.

Top 5 Secrets to Making Your Commercial Cleaning Franchise Great

Leading Commercial Cleaning Firm, Image One, Names Bob Caramusa as the 2015 Franchisee of the Year

Each summer, Image One USA, the leading national commercial cleaning franchise, recognizes the best performer in their system with a Franchisee of the Year Award. This year, Bob Caramusa of Barrington, Illinois, received the top nomination in front of peers at the Annual Franchise Owner meeting on August 30, 2015.

Caramusa is a five-year veteran of the business who services the Northwest suburbs of Chicago. After years of success as a national sales manager in the Chicago area, he got involved in 2010 with Image One because he had always dreamed of owning his own business. Now, about to add his seventh employee to the roster, Caramusa hopes to grow his franchise business into a multi-million dollar venture over the next three to five years, serving customers throughout the Greater Chicagoland Area.

“In recognition of his many contributions, Bob won the award because of his passion for the industry, the brand and the people we serve,” Image One Founder Tim Conn said. “He embodies Image One’s vision and core values with professionalism; promoting customer loyalty and serving his community.”

The Image One Franchisee of the Year Award takes a comprehensive look at performance and leadership of the business owners in the franchise system. In order to be considered for the award, franchise owners must excel in the following areas: financial (sales/revenue volume, profitability), adherence to system and operational standards, client/customer satisfaction, HR (employee training, customer service) and community involvement and service.

“I’m honored to receive this award from a concept I truly believe in and trust — Image One is like family,” Caramusa said. “I joined Image One because I had faith in the people running this franchise. It’s been an incredibly rewarding experience for me both professionally and personally.”

If you’re interested in starting your own business, or becoming a franchising affiliate, Image One can help. Visit the website at, email or call 800-223-1985 for more information.

This little retreat ---
is a makeover we did with only items in the home already!

It all started with the quilt!
It was the inspiration piece for the room and we went from there.

In my next post I will share with you all of the details.

But isn't this such a lovely relaxing space.

To see more makeovers go to Between Naps on the Porch
Susan always has a great party!

When you are putting a room together look for ways you can add the same color throughout the space.

I talked about this a little last week but wanted to post a few more examples here.

Notice the blue fabric on the coffee table, the blue pillow, the BLUE pot on the shelf, and the picture above the fireplace.
Now notice the touches of GREEN.

Do you see the touches of ORANGE in the space?
Then notice the robin's egg blue throughout the room.

Look at how black is placed around this room,
and see how they all have a black and white pattern.
It unifies the room.

The light blue pillows, the blue pot on the table and the blue fabric on the bottom of the drapes, really pulls this room together.

You can't help but see all of the
green accents in this living room.

They are placed throughout the space and it feels GREAT.

Now, go and gather a number of like colored items and tie them into a room at your home!

You will be amazed at how this simple design principle can change the feel of your room.

I am joining with Julia today for Hooked on Fridays.

Area Rugs on an Angle

Having an area rug in your room really adds another layer of "Coziness."

I am going to show you some pictures of what a difference it can make placing the rug on an angle.

See how the angle of the rug mirrors the fireplace
and it anchors the three pieces of furniture together.

Sometimes it is just a nice change --- an Out of the Box Idea!

As you look in decorator magazines notice how often the rugs are placed on an angle.

Give it a try at your house --- it's a nice way to change
things up with no cost!

Living Room Redesigned

We took this Living Room and rearranged with items
she had in her house already ---
So fun to see what can be done in a couple of hours!

(Notice the touches of red, it really adds life to the space.)

We took out the big chair and one of the end tables.
The room really needed something interesting to look at,
so we found the bookcase upstairs and filled it with some nice accessories.
It became a great focal point.

We moved the tree to the other side of the couch,
it softens the window and is not so cramped.
We also added a touch of red and green to the table,
tying those colors around the room.

There was just too much furniture in this room.

We placed the rug on an angle, and added
some green pillows.
Then found another plant to balance out the side of the room with the bookcase.

Amazing what you can accomplish with out spending any money!

Today, I want to show you what a difference it makes to tie color and pattern throughout a room.

This is a living room where I took some great before pictures
but they somehow got swallowed up in my computer and have never been found!

The homeowner had just inherited the white couch and two pink chairs, she had two china cabinets filled with many little treasures, and some teal carpet.

We wanted to figure out a way to tie what she had together so that it would make for a cozy, comfortable living room.

Notice the family portrait above the couch, they are all in blue, and there was no blue in the room, but this was the piece we wanted for a focal point.

So we added touchs of blue throughout the room.

In the china cabinet we put a blue vase and on the piano, a blue book. Also do you see the little floral piece in the oval frame, it has blue as well.

Now, notice the pattern that is in the pillow, the rug and the iron piece hanging over the piano, see how they are similar and fit nicely together.

The drapes also have a similar pattern and gold color,
see how we are tying those patterns AROUND the room.
See the blue book on the table.

She did not have the pillows before, but in the after they add definate pattern and texture to the room.

(The maroon color is pulled from the rug)

We placed just a few important items back in the china cabinet --- now you notice what is there.

See the blue book.

The couch is very inviting!

There is a little blue in the middle pillow on the couch.

The area rug really helps to take your eye away
from the teal carpet.
And it pulls in the gold and maroon colors together.

This mirror was from the 70's and at one time was hanging above a brick covered fireplace. (can't you just imagine it!)

We turned it vertical and placed it in the entry with a table,
and it has a whole new feel.

The gold frame with the ornate pattern has a similar
feel to the other gold pieces in the room.

Do you see how we are placing these similar patterns and colors throughout the space.
It works well to position them in somewhat of a triangle.

Now, notice how the color and pattern is placed in YOUR space and see if you can tie it together.

Your room will be more COZY!

Sometimes a wall in the kitchen just needs something.

This homeowner loves teapots and had some china that she really wanted to have in her kitchen.

Before the wall was empty . . . just waiting for the right fit.

The shelf by itself was not quite big enough.
So we added the ornamental iron on each side. It created just the right balance for the space.

Notice the group of three on the shelf, and the natural elements (flowers and greenery)

The lace added a fabric element to the shelf and the ornamental iron mimics the lace feel.

The homeowner was so happy because she now has such a nice focal point in the kitchen and it has items that she loves!

Go to Between Naps on the Porch for some great Transformations!

I found this great little shop with fantastic prices and wanted to share
a few photos with you.

It is in an old victorian style home.

Look at the fantastic light fixtures on the porch.

This is what they are all about.

Fun dishes for adding color.

A few accessories for the bathroom.

Love this mirror!

The berries in the pot are a great natural element.

Sanuki Udon @ Taman Bukit Desa

Been receiving complaint from Mike Lee that I did not update my blog for long and it's because I'm just too lazy hahahaha....

I bet you had been here Mike lolx...
Sanuki Udon is no other than cheap and good food around the neighborhood in Taman Bukit Desa which Eddy had brought me here as he and his colleagues spotted this place.

Their Udon is freshly made and the price range is from RM5, which it's unbelievable and you just have to believe it, it's real deal! The Udon is so chewy and yummy!
For the first time I had Kisune Udon RM6
and Eddy had the House Special with Egg Udon (cold) RM6
Bottomless green tea for RM1
Sesame Mini Salad just RM3!!! where to find right?!
Something which is even more unbelieveable is Karaage(chicken) for RM3 and there is 3 pieces!
They had this menu all day and the only thing they serve at night is Yakitori and steamboat. Their Yakitori is a good deal too with good taste!
The night crowd is not bad too and even celebrity like Elaine Daly was there last night and guess what no matter day or night, there is also plenty of Japanese with their kids dine-in too.
This round I had ordered a Original Udon at RM5
MS had ordered a House Special with Egg Udon (hot) RM6
and we ordered Yakitori for sharing as well and some other dishes which I'd tried before which is Karaage and Mini Salad.

People keep coming in and out Sanuki and last night there is 4 of us so we had sad for long to dine and also gossip like no other business haha..

Actually the portion of Udon is good enough to keeps your tummy full but if you have friends would like to share side dish with you which is best or else you will be wasting food.

Value of Money :10/10

Location: Restaurant Sanuki Udon

FAO: From a Technical to a Highly Politicized Agency

The inclusion of food issues has meant from the beginning that FAO had a very broad scope: it wasn’t simply a technical forum for experts but primarily a political one that places concern for human health and survival at the center of all its activities.

At the outset, the first Director General of FAO, John Boyd Orr tried to impose his vision devising global plans for improving food production and its equitable distribution but he got nowhere, the US and UK opposed him and he resigned.

That was the first historical clash over what FAO should do.

Food aid in Greece 1948 (joint mission FAO-Unicef

Food aid in Greece 1948 (joint mission FAO-Unicef)

The logic is clear: a focus on human health and survival in the face of hunger implies that FAO’s role is to encourage developing countries to give priority to agriculture. And for decades, starting in the 1960s, FAO was at the forefront of agricultural development activities in the Third World, directly engaged in projects to illustrate how best this development could be achieved and  FAO was seen by developing countries as a useful development agent benefiting their own agriculture. Indeed, FAO was among the first international agencies to use methods that allowed locals to appropriate the project results as their own, long before the World Bank ever did. Perhaps this is not so surprising. As any bank, the World Bank is concerned with protecting its investments and it has always tended to exercise full control rather than pass it onto locals, though now, even the World Bank has had to change its approach to development.

In the photo: Farming for Developmen: Agriculture in Yemen A rural farmer in a village near Sanaa, reaping his harvest using a reaping hook in the traditional way. In Yemen, agriculture, mainly of the subsistence type, provides 80% of total employment. With help from the Food and Agriculture Organization under the UN Development Programme the Government has undertaken agricultural development projects. 1975. 01 January 1975 Sanaa, Democratic Yemen. (source UN / multimedia)

It also meant that with every new political issue, with every major emergency, FAO’s scope expanded.

For example, with the recurrent, protracted and seemingly intractable Sahel drought, FAO, that had only been active in development aid, was catapulted in the 1970s in the business of emergency aid and created a small unit of just three professionals to deal with it. That unit expanded over the next decades and by the early 2000s, it had morphed into one of FAO’s major departments, employing more people and with a larger budget than any other department in the organization.

In the photo: Drought in Africa – Livestock being taken away from the drought-stricken areas of Karal region. 01 January 1984 Chad. (source UN / multimedia)

On the other hand, FAO’s newly-acquired role in developing countries was viewed with suspicion and often disparaged in the West. A lead critic was the US, where FAO was seen as an unnecessary rival to American non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and charities that were also engaged in agricultural aid, chief among them CARE, Heifer International etc. Since the 1960s, capital flows to developing countries has radically changed: back then, some 70 percent came from the government coffers of developed countries; today, that figure is only 13 percent. Most of the money comes from private sources and emerging economies. NGOs overtime have become a major actor in development aid (see here) and recognized as such by the United Nations.

In the photo: 57TH ANNUAL DPI/NGO CONFERENCE BEGINS TODAY AT UN HEADQUARTERS- Secretary General Kofi Annan addressing the DPI/NGO Conference today via Video Conference. The Secretary-General said he was pleased that the meeting had decided to focus on the Millennium Development Goals, and these Goals were a test for all. 08 September 2004 United Nations, New York. (source UN / multimedia)

The 1970s was a particularly unfortunate decade:  a World Food Council was established as an independent institution outside FAO in 1974 together with an agricultural development bank, IFAD, that saw the light with generous financing from the Arab oil states; also, FAO lost most of its control over the international research system, and it became simply one of many members of the CGIAR, a network of 15 research centers spread around the globe.

In the late 1980s, FAO dramatically shed another piece of itself when the World Food Programme gained autonomy. Originally an FAO unit created in 1961, it set itself free under the guidance of its Australian Executive Director and adopted its own “mission statement” in 1994. Now WFP has a larger budget and with about 13,500 people working for it, it has a much larger staff  than FAO – for several years, cooperation between the two was rocked by infighting at the highest levels though, fortunately, that did not reflect on field activities. Today, FAO and WFP have reached agreement to work together and they do.

Small wonder that FAO Headquarters in Rome became famous for hosting a large number of experts – in its heyday in the 1980s, FAO had some 1,500 professionals stationed in Rome, and up to ten times as many in the field, in the vest of consultants, short-term staff, and even junior experts. There was a program to employ university graduates fresh out of school in field projects, a program that had been started in the mid-1950s, the first of its kind in the UN system. It began with a handful of young agricultural engineers from the Netherlands whose salary was paid for by their own government. That program had expanded, along with FAO, and at its height, numbered over one thousand junior experts employed on 2-year contracts and coming from a variety of countries, mostly European but also from South Korea. The program still exists, but in reduced form.

You could say that FAO, in general, still exists but in reduced form.

Because something happened that crippled FAO and nearly killed it, more in the next article “A Descent into Hell”

PlayStation 4

I haven't really done much with the website lately, I've been mostly playing on my PlayStation 4 (Call of Duty: Ghosts, Killzone Shadow Fall, Knack, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, Resogun and Contrast).

I made a gaming section to the website a while back but didn't receive any feedback from it so I kinda scrapped it (it still exists but it's not exactly public, no one seemed interested in a gaming section).

Oh, almost forgot... MERRY CHRISTMAS (or insert other festive holiday here).

Never a dull moment when you mix martial arts stunt training with visual special FX! That’s the core lesson featured in this small IMX featurette. On Sunday May 2nd 2010 following instructor training at NX Martial Arts, Hardcore Ottawa Stuntman André Givogue and myself (Robert Baldwin) decided to work on different stunt moves …just for fun! 🙂

Jumping off a 15 foot tower of mats and filming it was the first step. For our special effects, we chose a brilliant set of pre-keyed explosions from the Action Essentials II from Add some minor color adjustments and some camera shake and you’ve got a stunt shot worthy of hollywood action movies!
