Project 2010:365 Oct. 17-23

oct:18 Thank you card I made for some friends.

oct:21 Tried to take his photo, and he sneezed right as I snapped!

oct:22 Dehydrating some apples...makes the whole house smell like apple pie!

oct:23 Sunset from my back porch.

Experiment:FreeLensing

'Freelensing'. Has anyone ever heard of this? Yeah, me neither. But when I heard what it was, my curiosity got the better of me and I had to at least try it out, even though this technique screams insurance claim! You basically take the lens off of the body of your camera and hold it in place and tilt it slightly rather than locking it in place. Did I have a death grip on that lens! I also didn't want to rotate it so far that it came out of the body of the camera for fear of getting dust in there. Interesting results, but I probably won't be trying that one again!

Project 2010:365 Oct. 10-16

oct:10 A birthday card I made for my nephew who's turning 6 in a few weeks!

oct:11 The first (that I've noticed at least!) fall colors!

oct:12 Sunset at the Country Club Plaza.

oct:13 Week 22 of our Farmer's Alliance - green beans, turnips, sweet bell peppers, salad mix, pumpkins, sweet potatoes.

oct:14 Another one that I have no idea what it is, but I want to make something with it! Love the texture!

oct:15 Went to visit the Overland Park Arboretum now that the leaves are changing.

oct:16 Lenexa Chili Challenge! There were probably 80 booths to sample homemade chili from, and I think my husband sampled each and every one of them!

Project 2010:365 Oct. 8-9

oct:8 When I leave the house, I have to turn the cushions so that the dogs won't lay all over them while I'm gone. She has discovered that she's NOT too little to make it on top of my barrier.

oct:9 Check out the rest of Colin's senior session here!

Project 2010:365 Oct. 1-7

oct:1 Saw these beauties on a walk with the dogs this morning

oct:2 2nd round of roasting pumpkins and squash to make into puree for the freezer. Do it now while they're in season and I can buy local!

oct:3 Oh yes I did! Whole wheat pumpkin waffles (using some of the pumpkin puree I made yesterday)! I'll have to make another batch for the freezer.

oct:4 I don't know what it is, but I like it!

oct:5 Found this at the lake near our house.
