More and more of these show up in the metro here... More often though, you'll find the advertising boards just covered in blue, green or black plain paper. A sign there's a crisis. Even in advertising... I can't say I don't like it, especially not when in happy colors like this one. There's some beauty in decay... Art in its own.
I used to have a favorite jeans jacket. I bought it many years ago from GAP. It had the perfect fit, the perfect color, the perfect everything. The kind of jacket I would wear on top of everything (except for a pair of jeans - somehow I don't like the look of denim on top of denim), on any occasion. But as I said - I used to have ... and I lost it. I'm still feeling miserable when I think of it. It happened on a trip to Brussels when I went to see my parents. I remember putting it on top of my weekend bag. And somehow, it must have slipped off on my way from the car to the front door, only to get noticed the next day. Gone favorite jacket... We looked everywhere. My mom even went to the lost and found at the local police station. But alas: no jacket...
Not only did I loose my absolutely favorite jacket ever, but also the very nice flower pin that was on it. A crocheted flower pin in soft vanilla and rusty orange tones, which I found here in Paris at Nice Day Nice Things.
It took me a while before I bought a replacement jacket. I checked at every GAP store around hoping to find the exact same one. I waited for the new collection to come in a couple of times. And after more than a year I decided it was time to move on and to buy just another jacket from whatever brand, which I eventually did. It's not as perfect as the lost one, however, far from. And until last weekend it didn't have a nice pin on it either. But it does have now!
The idea for making the flower pin came after reading the latest issue of Marie-Claire Idées which featured a fabric flower wall ornament (among lots of other really fun stuff). Instead of making the wall ornament, I used the template for a pin.
It's fairly easy to make, actually, even without the pattern. All you need to do is cut a flower twice from a piece of fabric. Sew the two layers together (I did it by hand) making sure to leave an opening for turning. Turn over, fill with some stuffing (I used wool roving which I still have plenty of from my needle felting phase, but any fiber fill will do). Top stitch the petals the way you like. You could even add some beads or sequins... Make the little heart by cutting out a circle from a different type of fabric and stuffing it too and sew it onto the flower. Since I didn't have a pin for the back (and it was Sunday, which means all shops closed) but plenty of buttons, instead I used a button of the same size as the button holes in my jacket. Et voilà! A nouveau flower pin for my jacket.
Now, if you're into flowers like me, make sure to check out "My Mama Made it", where you'll find not only a great flower pin tutorial, but many examples and lots of inspiration for garment alterations. That flower pin definitely is on my to do list! A girl likes to change, right?!
Note: It's hard to tell from the picture, but the fabric I used has oak leaves printed on it. In perfect sync with the season, I thought. Just a matter of details, really...
We're still enjoying the most wonderful weather here. No way we would stay inside this afternoon! These are today's pictures, taken at the Bois de Boulogne. Fall is shedding its first leaves, but to my surprise there's still a lot of green left... Hope you had a wonderful weekend too!
I can't believe it's Friday already... It's been a bit of a busy week somehow. To the extent that I didn't find the time nor the energy to post much.
It was a fun week though - the weather has been extremely nice here. L'été indien, as they call it here. And since the sunny days might be over soon, I decided to spend as much time outside as possible, in between the stuff that really needed to be done. I hope the weather will stay like this over the weekend and then hopefully we'll make it to one of the many parks with the kids...
And then, of course, there was the visit of a longtime very good friend. She had to be in Paris for work. Though really (REALLY) close during our high school years and way into our adult lives, we somehow got out of touch after I moved abroad. Sure, we kept each other informed of our pregnancies and sent birth announcements, but sadly we didn't actually manage to see each other for close to six, seven years. So now, she was in Paris and there was so much to catch up with, so much to talk about... And it was so much fun!
Oh, and since I hardly took any pictures this week, I just decided to put this one up. It's a new piece in my very own weekend artist's collection (LOL)... Like the previous one, I made it in between cleaning sessions. Just one way to make those boring chores a bit more pleasant... You should try it!
First of all I'd like to thank you for the comments on my previous post. It was interesting to read how everyone, though blogging, prefers to keep private in one way or the other, be it by not posting pictures or names or a combination of both. As to me, I guess I'll keep doing what I'm doing, the way I'm used to. Though at times I've felt REALLY tempted to post that "one gorgeous shot" of one of my loved ones, so far I've refrained from doing so and I'll keep doing so. After all, my girls didn't ask for their mommy to start blogging. And even though K. has been very supportive about my blogging attempts I do know for a fact that he doesn't want to see his picture here nor the girls'. And I need/want to respect that. Also because the worried mom that I am, I want to protect them. So, no close-up photographs of people on this blog. After giving it somewhat more thought the last couple of days, I decided not to see this as a limitation but rather as an opportunity, a challenge to photograph or portray in a different way, in an evocative rather than an explicit way.
The more pictures I take the more I realize what a wonderful and yet powerful tool photography is. You can use it to show the reality as it is. The plain facts. But you can also manipulate, frame that reality, create moods which aren't really there. I came to realize this even more so, while at the park last Saturday. It was a beautiful sunny day and a totally happy me. I shot flowers, butterflies, trees. As I was making my way through the park I came across a couple of wooden benches and trees planted near a wall. Left and right from this scene everything was green. So were the treetops. Kids were playing and running around, people were chattering and laughing. There was nothing there that would make one feel sad, or lonely. No melancholy, no darkness. And yet I shot these...
I manipulated the reality of a sunny late September day...
This is actually something I have been thinking about a lot. How to deal with privacy as a photographer, as a blogger. As you might have noticed, you'll hardly ever see pictures of people here or in my photostream on Flickr. In my early blogging days I did post some pictures of my girls. I even had a family picture up in my profile. But at some point, as I didn't feel entirely comfortable about it, I took down those posts and changed my profile picture as well. I don't even use the full names of my loved ones for the same reason. The result is a little bit of a "sterile" blog, I sometimes have the feeling. 'Where are the real people?', you might have wondered. (Note: It's only recently I gave myself a face again on this blog.)
The same thing happens when I wander through town with my camera. I'll never take pictures of strangers, worried they might get upset when they notice they just got their picture taken. In some situations people in the picture are unavoidable, but even then I try to make them "invisible" by choosing a different angle or a different lighting or by waiting until they're gone. At stores or museums, I'll always ask for permission to shoot pictures first (well, I actually forgot to ask or check once ...). If I get a "no", then it's a no... The last thing I want is someone ranting at me or, even worse, my camera taken away.
How do you deal with these privacy issues? Should one tell a stranger they just got photographed? How about posting pictures of loved ones?
I know, summer vacation is way behind us. School has started again. We've almost adjusted to the new routines. And as little H. announced this morning, next week will be the beginning of Fall. That's why I'd like to take you back to summer one more time. A tribute to what was a wonderful summer for us with family and friends...
I've mentioned the Beaufort03 art exhibit before and how much fun we had exploring it. But I actually didn't show you any pictures of it, I realized. Last night, I went through my, vast by now, collection of pictures on my computer and I stumbled upon these: pictures of Aeneas Wilder's work. It was by far my favorite piece in the exhibit. It's a tall open wooden structure on the beach, shaped like a dome, a beehive, an upside-down basket, or whatever you'd like to call it. I found it magnificent, of an overwhelming beauty, ... The light play, the shadows, the different views on what's around, beyond, beneath, the airy feel, and yet the feeling of being protected. Well it's hard to express in words, so I hope the pictures will take care of it...
No, it's not my age, my twenties are way behind me!
Vingt - Paris, is the name of a French blog (but written in English) I came across recently and which I love. Vingt - Paris (until recently known under the name "I V Y paris") "serves as a comprehensive hub for visual arts information and resources in Paris, nurturing our creative community through a series of art exhibitions and events.", as they describe themselves. You'll find all sorts of information here about events, exhibitions, concerts, etc. but also lists - Vingt - hence the name. Yesterday's list had the very promising title "20 French Sex Symbols (Les Hommes)". Have I been here long enough to know these men, I wondered. Well, it turns out I know some of them, beside the obvious like Alain Delon, Jean-Paul Belmondo (I don't agree!) and Sarko. There's Thierry Henry, the captain of "Les Blues", the French national soccer team, and yes, he's handsome (without the moustache, that is). His "les Blues" team mate Yoann Gourcuff sure is cute (and I'm not the only one to think so, just ask my girls about him). How about Serge Gainsbourg? I don't think he had the looks (he's been referred to as l'homme à la tête de chou (cabbage head)), but his voice and music definitely sound sexy. We've actually been listening a lot lately to his 1971 concept album Melodie Nelson. Very Gainsbourg, psychedelic, highly recommended. If you don't know this record, here it is
Anyone missing in that list? Well, I surely was surprised not to find Sebastien Chabal, one of the French team rugby players, in that list. After the 2007 Rugby World Cup, this man with the viking looks certainly was "hot" in France, with the Caron "Eau de Toilette pour un Homme" ad on every corner of the street, just to give one example.
There have been many other lists at "Vingt", but my favorite one is definitely the "20 Arnaques (rip-offs)" - with haircuts featuring at the top of the list, which makes me think they're "arnaque" at any place in the world. They were in California, at least. I also particularly liked the "20 Expressions Françaises" , though I think the list is not complete. I might try to make a list of my own at some point.
And since we're talking about lists, yesterday as I watched 3 (!) episodes of Grey's Anatomy on French TV, I decided to make a list of my own. As you may know, in France every show on TV which isn't originally French, is dubbed. It took me about two and a half episodes of Grey's Anatomy, yesterday, to get used to the voice-over Patrick Dempsey (wasn't he considered really hot in the US a couple of years ago?) and Ellen Pompeo. The thing is Patrick Dempsey and Hugh Laurie (House MD) share the same voice-over, or that's what it feels like, which is VERY annoying. House MD, was actually another favorite show of ours, but just because of this dubbing thing we stopped watching it on French TV. His ranting simply doesn't have the same impact in French.
So here's my list - a random list of movie titles as you would find them here at the box office. I limited myself to just ten. As you will notice some of them get quite hilarious when translated back in English, others just give away the movie... I wonder why they keep doing this...
1. Jaws (1985) - Les dents de la mer - The teeth of the sea 2. Final Analysis (1991) - Sang Chaud pour meurtre sang froid - Warm blood for cold blooded murder 3. Lost in translation (2004) - Traduction infidèle (Canada) - Unfaithful Translation 4. From Dusk till Dawn (1996) - Une nuit en enfer - One night in hell 5. The Departed (2006) - Les infiltrés - The infiltrators 6. Cinderella men (2005) - De l'ombre à la lumière - from shade to light 7. The matrix (1999) - Les jeunes gens qui traversent les dimensions en portant des lunettes à soleil - The Young People Who Traverse Dimensions While Wearing Sunglasses - I can't believe this one's actually true, it must be a joke really, as I also found it as La matrice, which makes more sense... 8. Rebel without a cause (1955) - Fureur de vivre - the rage of living 9. Betrayed (1988) - La main droite du diable - the right hand of the devil 10. Dirty Harry - L'inspecteur Harry - Inspector Harry as opposed to Inspector Clouseau, Inspector Morse, Inspector Barnaby, ... I guess...
Went to bed way too late - woke up early - my wristwatch showed 5:50, the alarm clock said it was 6:55. The alarm clock was right - so something's wrong with the new battery in my watch - no way I could return to the warm sheets...
I could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
Outside my window: gray and cold weather, threatening clouds.
I think I'll move to Australia.
Took the kids to school, came back home and still felt tired and cold.
Didn't feel like doing much. Decided to get creative. Maybe that would help.
Took out the lino pad I got last week and the carving tools that came with it. Let's do some lino print today!
Couldn't find the tracing paper - had to look everywhere - found it in M.'s room. Wasn't very inspired for a great design and ended up with bubbles. Traced them onto the lino. Started cutting and carving. And just when I thought I had it down the carving tool slipped into my finger: one bleeding thumb. And I mean b l e e d i n g!
It was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
Went to the bathroom to take care of my finger - couldn't find the sterile pads nor the band aids - found the band aids in M.'s room on the floor.
Went back to my project but really careful now. Wanted to try out the design with paint on paper - couldn't find the special rolling brush to apply the paint - found it in a forgotten tool box.
Applied paint, printed - nah, still some lines where I didn't want any - more carving - black paint all over my hands now and the band aid.
It was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
Cut out too much so the lino got all floppy - needed a block or a support of some sort to glue it onto - didn't have anything useful - and if I would have had something to glue it onto, it wouldn't have been much of a help anyway as I couldn't find the hot glue gun's electricity cord. Should be in our wall closet, but in order to find it in there I would have to clean up/ clear out the entire closet.
Next week, I said, I'm going to Australia. End of project...
Since M. had her first gym class that night and I also had another PTA-meeting at school and K. had to go out for dinner for work, I decided to prepare dinner early. Popped the green beans in their microwavable bag in the microwave, set the timer, took them out, cut open the bag being careful not to get burned by the hot steam, tasted one and noticed they were not done - at all... because the microwave was still on low.
Did I tell you , it was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day?
Picked up the kids from school, met with K. who took them home, I stayed for the meeting, rushed back home so K. could leave for his meeting. There was no time left for dinner for me. Took the kids in the car and drove off to gym. Ended up behind the trash truck, couldn't find a parking spot. So M. was late for her first class.
I was having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, I told the kids.
Waited with little H. until the class was over. Talked to the gym teacher, who I was glad to see again. Asked her about her mom, who had been sick for the past six months. She didn't make it and passed away in August. And she misses her tremendously, she said. Devastated, I hugged her. I just wanted this day to be over...
This is a bit of a stretch. The buttons, I mean. I just wanted to share some links I found extremely useful when redesigning my blog - adding the buttons and everything. Buttons...got it? - a bit lame, I know, but I couldn't find a decent picture to go with it... hence the buttons.
But seriously now. If you ever consider making changes to your Blogger template, just forget about looking for answers in "Blogger-help". Most likely you won't find it there and if you do so most certainly it's outdated. Basically, you'll need just one source: Tips for new bloggers. Or as summarized in the blog description: "A dummies guide, blog tips, tricks, help for all new bloggers on Web templates, Blog templates, designs, widgets, layout, JavaScript, HTML codes, SEO, Google AdSense, gadgets, diagnostic tools, and how to monetize Blogger or Blogspot blogs." It has very clear and detailed how-to's for about everything you can think of.
Do you fancy a new background color or a different font color but don't know which one to choose from? Tips for new bloggers gives an overview of all colors available and their hexidecimal codes.
Most of my left sidebar buttons are linked to static pages, i.e. posts which contain all the information. For a how to on these, check out I Simply Blog and Technically Easy.
An interesting link which provides general HTML coding is this one.
And then finally, before you start to even change the slightest thing in your blog template, make sure to make a backup! Both, of your posts and your template! You never know... Also, to avoid the mess (as a mess it will be, no matter what - at least to me it was, as some of you might have noticed) to appear on your blog make the changes to a test-blog you created just for that matter... And when satisfied just copy the template into your real blog!
So, here it is! The revamped (so I hope, at least!) // Between the lines //! After a full week of hard work, often in the wee hours at night. I neglected everyone and everything for an entire week. You should see our place... Don't worry - The kids still made it to school every day with a set of fresh clothes and a healthy lunch box. And I didn't forget to pick them up, either. But other than that... Hum... (Although - I remember I baked two moeulleux au chocolat this week, fixed the goodie bags for little H's birthday party, went to two PTA meetings, ...) More than once I asked myself why I started this whole thing in the first place. And if it was really worth it. But then, I wasn't satisfied anymore with what my blog looked like.
So: Quoi de neuf? I wanted to add something so my readers would be able to navigate more easily through my blog. A lot of you visit my blog for my tutorials, to name one thing. Therefore, as of now you'll find a navigation bar in the left hand sidebar. A complete overview of my tutorials is now just one click away. There's also a link to my other blog, the lately much neglected // Between the lines // - Photography blog. There's also an "interesting links" section, where I'll put up links which I think might be of interest to my readers, links that have been useful to me in one way or the other (tutorials, articles relating to photography,...). Also new is the "Paris je t'aime section" - it's still empty right now, but I intend to add information on that page for the Paris lovers amongst you. I might add sections as I go.
In the right hand sidebar I added a "Photography Blogs" section, with links to some of my favorite photography blogs. Make sure to check them out!
Because of this extra sidebar I had to change the rest of the layout as well. Three columns instead of two. I thought this would be straight forward but it took me much longer than than I thought it would. The good thing is I learned a lot this week, about HTML codes, if-conditions, the importance of brackets in the right place, how to fiddle with margins and padding. I'm actually quite pleased with myself. My brain is still functioning and in the end I really got the hang of it. Not that I plan to repeat the exercise anytime soon. But still...
The only thing I'm not entirely satisfied with is the banner picture. You can expect some changes there still. (Suggestions, anyone?) However, I didn't want to put you on hold any longer. So here it is: le // Between the lines // nouveau! I hope you like it...
This blog might appear a bit messy and things might look a bit scrambled or different in the days to come. The reason is I want to revamp my blog a tiny bit. I've been wanting to do this for quite a while and now I found a couple of online sources which helped me on the way. Since some of these sites are very informative and might be useful to others - especially to Blogger-users - I'll share the best ones in a later post.
Also to come soon: an entire post dedicated to Paris, with some reading suggestions and interesting blogs. So, Paris-lovers, stay tuned!
This post is dedicated to my little girl M. and her latest creation: a wall hanging made out of petal-like pieces of fabric, strung to some natural colored flax string. This was her Saturday morning surprise for us, at breakfast. I just LOVE it! The choice of colors and fabric - the shape - the drape - the way it casts its shadow on the wall throughout the day... Just everything about it is perfect!
When I asked her where she she got the idea from she said "Well, that book of yours. I wanted to make something else, at first, but then I realized I didn't have enough fabric and I didn't want to bother you. So then, I got the idea to make this." She made it with some bits and pieces of fabric she still had in her little sewing box.
That book of mine - that's exactly why I bought it. That book of mine - is this one: "Paris: Made by hand" - Fifty shops where decorators, designers, and stylists source the chic & unique, by Pia Jane Bijkerk (ed. The Little Bookroom - New York - ISBN 978-1-892145-70-3). Though intended as a shopping guide this book is more than that. With its brilliant photography, to me (and to my oldest daughter it turns out) it's also a source of inspiration. An inspiration to create, and - this only applies to me - to make better photographs (maybe?, hopefully?). If you want to see or read more of Pia Jane Bijkerk, just check out her blog.
In the mean time, I'm off to look for a better spot for my new wall hanging... It needs a more prominent place as I think it's gorgeous!
Yesterday, it was back to school day for both of my girls. Slightly nervous and way too early we headed to school, their back packs full with their (new) school supplies. The sidewalks were crowded with parents and kids catching up again after not having seen each other for two months. All went well - they both ended up with their best friends in class and great teachers. I was really glad to see their happy faces when I picked them up from school and all the way back home the two of them were talking and talking enthusiastically about their first school day - little H. feeling all grown up now because she's started first grade and M. just grown up, because that's exactly what she is!
Back to school means school supplies and in M.'s case even more school supplies than we already took to school yesterday. She came home with another long list of things needed. It will be a busy year from what I see on that list! One of the things she'll be needing is a water bottle with bag, to hang the bottle from a hook at her desk. M. easy going as always just wanted to take a plastic bag. But I thought, I could do better: "Would you like me to sew you a water bottle holder?". "Are you sure, mommy? 'Cause I don't want to give you more work than you already have..." That's my sweet little girl! Always worried to ask for too much...
I didn't do any sewing for the entire summer (that is if I don't count the folding curtains I made - but that was a necessity rather than a fun project), and felt really happy about this new "assignment". Off I went to my sewing machine...
So, here's the water bottle holder for my little girl - made out of some linen (what else?!) I still had and some left over fabric from the folding curtains. Oh, and I used an old t-shirt of mine for the padding. I didn't intend on writing a tutorial at first so I didn't take any pictures of the in-between steps - something I really regretted this morning when I had another look at the finished product.
This project is rather simple, however. Therefore, I decided to just write down the steps so you can make a bottle holder of your own for school, for work or for the gym. Or you could use it as a comb and brush holder for the bathroom, I just came to realize, or as a kitchen utensils holder, pen holder, paint brushes holder...
This is what you'll need for this project:
- two pieces of fabric (outer fabric and lining) - some cotton batting, or just a piece of an old t-shirt, the way I did - thread, scissors, pins, sewing machine, iron...
1. On a piece of paper trace the circumference of your water bottle. Cut out. Next, measure height (H) and circumference (W) of the bottle and draw a rectangle measuring H by W on a piece of paper. Cut out.
2. Cut both pattern pieces out of each fabric, adding a 1cm seam allowance on all sides. From the outer fabric cut an additional strip of fabric measuring 10cm by 22cm, which you'll be needing for the loop. If you're planning on padding the holder, cut out an H by W piece from the t-shirt or batting, as well.
3. Optional: I top stitched the outer fabric with thread of different colors, stitching the outer fabric and padding together. I got the idea for the topstitching here and here (very nice projects - both of them!!). Make sure the two layers are pinned together really well so the bottom layer doesn't start shifting!
4. Sew the side seam of the outer fabric - do the same for the lining but leave a small opening half way (for turning the bottle holder, later). You have two tubes now.
5. Pin the circle to the bottom of the tube. To make this easier, what I usually do is fold the circle in half and mark the fold with my finger by going over it a couple of times and then fold it again, perpendicularly to the first fold. That way you obtain a circle divided in quarters. Do the same thing with the tube. These imaginary lines will help you to distribute the fabric of the circle evenly over the tubing fabric, by matching the folds on the circle with the folds on the tube. Use plenty of pins to keep everything together. Next, sew circle and tube together with your sewing machine. Do the same thing for the lining.
6. Loop: fold the strip lengthwise in half and press with an iron. Next fold each half lengthwise in half again by folding the selvages towards the first fold and press (the selvages are facing each other and the first fold now, sandwiched in the middle of the strip). If you don't get this, let me know! (There must be a better way to formulate this...) Now, sew the strip closed. Note: you can also make a loop consisting out of two strips held together with a scratch closure, in order to hang the bottle holder from a stroller, shopping cart, ...
7. Pin both tubes together, right sides facing and sandwich the loop in between the two layers while doing so. Sew everything together.
8. Turn inside out through the side opening you left in the lining. Close the opening with a few stitches. Shape the bottle holder and press the top seam and loop flat.
Et voilà! Fini! A bottle holder or whatever-holder! You know what? I really feel happy I wrote this down. I'm back on track!
Note: As always, let me know if something's not clear! I'm there to help!
The water bottle holder put to a different use... Just an example. I think I might have to make some more...

September 1st... and sure enough: it rained today! The official end of summer? I hope not!
But, if it were, we're ready to face those first gray days ... with these:
Red polka dotted lunch bags and fun bento lunch boxes, for both of my girls, ready to be taken to school on Thursday. We had the hardest time finding isotherm lunch bags - most French kids eat at "la cantine", the school restaurant, where they get a warm meal. Luckily, we found those and the bento boxes at "Les Fleurs"! And to avoid confusion, I made a small tag for each one of them, after my girls' own designs. Problem solved!
Isn't September traditionally the month of all things stationery? Not that I need an excuse to buy office supplies. I got this cute little calendar tin last July, while in Leuven. Pins, paper clips and rubber bands are hiding inside.
Along the same line, how about a red tin pencil case (mine! - the girls have one too!) featuring "Le Petit Nicolas". For those of you who don't know "Le Petit Nicolas", he's the main character in a series of bundled short, absolutely hilarious, stories written by Goscinny and illustrated by Sempé. Everything with "Le Petit Nicolas" on it, is a hype right now. Smart merchandising for the 50th anniversary with a new book release with unpublished stories earlier this year, a movie at the end of this month, and plenty of stationery items. I learned French through those books a long time ago and, now, I passed them on to my girls who love them too. A bit outdated maybe but still perfect bedtime stories! We've already marked our calendars for the movie!
Next, something more grown up - hmm, or maybe not? I'm not quite sure, since I got this red leather jacket at a store where the average customer could be my daughter age-wise. I couldn't resist, though, at the bargain price of just 89 euros...
The kitchen is next, with this cutting board, found today at our local supermarket. I haven't tried it yet, but I hope it works. If it doesn't: at least the color will cheer me up while cutting those onions...
And whether you like Coca Cola or not: don't you think this bottle is too darn cute to get recycled. I usually don't drink regular coke, only Zero (not that it is any healthier...), so I bought just one bottle because of how it looks...
Now, that will do on those first gray days of autumn, don't you think?!
Anything red (or any other color) in your life that cheers you up? Just wondering...
I'd like to hear from you! Comments and feedback on my projects are much appreciated. Feel free to link to any of my projects, but please contact me first before using my photographs or any of the content found on this blog. Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!
