Please don't disturb me.

One Day At A Time

I created one altered book or art journal every month from April 2007 to April 2008 journaling each day, every day - One Day At A Time. Hence the name of this blog. Some day, someone - hopefully - will enjoy reading and leafing through these books ... long after I am gone.
(Note: Most photographs are by the author, femminismo, unless stated otherwise - but sometimes she forgets to mention the great Life magazine archive she borrows from.)

Peonies

The deep heart of nature.

Didn't Have a Chance

A new leaf ripped away by the wind.

People I Cherish

I'm Nice

An Autumnal Rose.

Will this beauty be frosted tomorrow?

Haystack ... Again.

Once again a walk along the shore leads to Haystack Rock.

Washed Up.

Undersea plant life washes up on the Pacific coastline.

Lazy Bee, Sleepin' in the Sun ...

How you ever manage to get work done?

My love is like a red, red rose.

Getting redder it seems as its season ends.

Early for Fall.

This leaf by the creek tells me that the season is moving on.

Sign of late summer.

This beauty is set to spread

Laurelwood Fog

A photo from a friend of a foggy valley to cool off summertime blahs.

They're open!

The lilies I posted a few days ago have opened and are a lovely greenish-white.

Rumbly skies in Oregon.

The expected rain didn't really materialize - only teased us.

The Smallest Thing

Sometimes, right under our noses, the smallest thing is most beautiful.

Google Analytics

Blue and White Sky.

I love looking up at the sky. I think sometimes we forget to notice the beauty in the big things ... and the small.

Visitor 2,000 has arrived!!

The "Mystery Woman" is going soon to the 2,000th visitor.

Peachy, peachy.

Apricot roses meet orange-pink rhodies.

Darker and Darker

The sky reacts with moisture ... lots of moisture!

Chinese Peony.

This pink reminds me of something strawberry-licious. The petals look entirely edible.

White tree peony.

The white peonies are the next to last in the garden to bloom.

Spring Advances - May 4, 2008.

The forest has added some leaves since April 13.

Spring is a little late this year.

Everything worthwhile is worth waiting for.

Exotica Itself.

This "flower" - bougainvillaea - exists on the driest branches.

A Courtyard Bench

At the El Encanto hotel in San Jose del Cabo where we stayed two nights.

Sisters, sisters ... there were never more devoted sisters.

Being creative together, again.

Violetas

Purple-blue violets and fennel.

Reception "Twins."

Catherine and I have decided we work well together, but we're not opening any restaurants, that's for sure!

Purple Spring

It's so close to spring in Oregon - and the flowers and trees know it!

The Moon's Caught in the Tree.

February 13, 2008, and here's the scene through the skylight.

Through the Kitchen Skylight.

Here is the winter sky and the American elm, absolutely leafless.

A Winsome Face.

Isn't she lovely, isn't she wonderful?

Remembrance.

To my first born who I love with all my heart. Mom xo

Can't see the "giver"

The present is almost as tall as the bearer.

He's In Love.

The man in the moon loves someone, but she doesn't love him.

Button bracelet.

These blueish-greenish buttons were in the Bodacious Bead shop.

Tea bag calendar.

I'm stitching together empty tea bags to make a January calendar.

My oldest tree ornament.

These shoes may be from 1944. Unfortunately, I don't know who wore them.

Teacher speaks.

Sometimes a teacher needs to take the bull by the horns to send her message loud and clear.

Step-on Stamp

Heated blue blocks were stepped on by shoes with lovely soles in Judy Wise's Artful Journal class.

Wet Pages.

Water soluble crayons were fun to work with and then spray with water to watch them "bloom."

Well, what is it?

Frustration of desires can drive a woman to chocolate.

Cheery Orange Goodness.

Can you smell the love? Orange non-food tastes like heaven. Don't tell me you don't think so. I'll know you're lying!

The little old pump house.

If you could look closely enough into the mirror hanging on the door you'd see me with a camera. (And I don't think it's the house that's leaning. Must be me.)

My glitter paper.

With the end of the wooden spoon - again - I have pine branches.

Hands do the trick.

What could be simpler than patty cake with the paste?

Decorate ... however you want.

Here the color was so nice and cheerful, I stamped it with suns and wrote with the end of a wooden spoon "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine."

Beginning the sheet of paste paper.

First dip the paper in water, squeegee off extra water and then brush on paste "paint."

Judy Teufel herself.

One of the nicest and most creative persons on the planet.

Yay! I found the mosaic.

Dappled sky, sunflower, peaches and door. All here.

No more green

How about something red for a change?

Pears galore

Pears, cheese and wine. Anyone for a party?

A Corded Book.

Here is my lovely little book almost done.

A new green.

This lovely green page is waiting for me to work on it. The paint is a new acrylic I am trying ... and I love it!

Roses.

These magnificent roses bloom in the best way: a few open fully, while several buds lag behind for later sniffing pleasure.

Bunch of crocus.

These light purple crocus come up like clockwork in September.

Koi pond.

They look real! This was at the Forest Grove Annual Chalk Art Festival in Oregon.

My crown.

Wearing the balloon hat made by Joe Mishkin.

Mama's Leaf.

She really was the best mama ever.

The beginning.

Herrrrrrrre's September!

More sunflowers.

Monet should have been at the artist's reception and captured these flowers.

Dappled sky.

Rain is coming from the west and this dappled sky foretells the change.

View from the bridge.

The creek is gathering its share of falling leaves. The woods are dry and dangerous. Let's hope for some rain tomorow.

Sara's Tamals.

Wonderful masa, a green olive, chicken in yummy sauce with a prune for dessert - all in one banana leaf wrapped-tamal - which is almost gone.

Peaches for cobbler.

Lovely white peaches with a hint of pink at the center.

The Definition of Yellow.

This large sunflower has attracted a fat, busy bee.

Green with a chance of yellow.

The weather's been changeable, and so have the leaves.

Books I Love.

A Fine Balance

Forgotten my art journal?

I'll bet you think I've forgotten to keep up on my journal during vacation. Wrong!

Roslyn Cafe in Neon.

Here's the neon sign over the Roslyn Cafe which the cast of "Northern Exposure" used to frequent.

Clouds at Sunset.

These clouds above the trees in central Washington look "painterly."

Two sisters: Tribal Arts.

Patricia Latimer and Jo Anne Sayles are sisters and artists, inspired by living in other cultures.

Another tiger.

She's nude. I know it, you know it ... but she doesn't. Don't embarrass her by mentioning it.

Tiger Lily

This one is the flower - no smell, but such good looks.

Here's looking at you.

Three people - three faces: Who are they?

The smell will drive you wild.

Stargazer lilies are blooming in my back yard and you can tell they are there with your eyes closed.

Haystack Rock

A little wind, a lot of sun.

A Day For Redheads

I seem to have a thing for redheads lately.

A Tribute to Teesha.

I've tried to translate some collage work, and put a trademark (I hope not) Teesha hat on my "girl friend."

Together.

Now for something different all right. Name this couple for me, would you?

Explosions of white.

Shasta daisies, Joe Pye Weed and an abandoned window frame on the Fourth of July.

Rain soaked leaves.

The real name of this plant is St. John's Wort.

The beautiful sacrifice.

Another trio - blueberries, strawberries and raspberries made Sunday memorable.

Music hath charms.

This beautiful trio of sisters made beautiful music on Saturday, June 23.

Longest day to enjoy lilies.

Lilies don't toil, but I do.

All My Children

A mother's lap can always hold her children .... sometimes just not at the same time.

Magnolia

A sniff of this perfume will set the world right.

Berries at last!

Pacific Northwest berries are the best.

Beloved Grandma and "Pop Pop"

Here the two of them are showing off Pop Pop's retirement cake.

The Fenimores

The family plots in this rustic little cemetery got freshened up on May 9, 2007.

Joyce Carol Oates

One of the great writers.

Me in 1956.

Ah, those glorious homemade hairdos of the '50s.

The she in me.

I took a photo of this sign painted on an old brick building recently uncovered in construction. Not sure what the business was, but "she" was there ... even though the "e" gets cut off on some screens when I post.

A "found" window

Window, window, what will you be?

Misty clematis

The volunteer clematis drenched in Oregon showers

May's flowers

Dinner plate-size yellow and orange tree peonies with a pink poppy - with a little Photoshop.

Beautiful Mama

She fought cancer for nearly six years, yet whenever she was able she loved to be in the kitchen baking.
