Pressing Matters - Week 3

2012-01-16T21:04:00.000-05:00

Happy Monday (Tuesday in some parts of the world!),

It's the 3rd week of my 52 week photography project. I thought I'd make another shot of something around the house.

In my youth I used to love to iron, even on the hottest day of the summer. I don't dislike it now, but don't have much need to perform this household task - especially when knit turtlenecks and sweaters are the daily attire.

I hope you enjoy the week ahead.

Peace, Judi

Happy New Year!

2012-01-02T16:33:00.007-05:00

Welcome readers,

It's 2012, the Earth is still here, and it's not too cold in New England (but will be tomorrow if the meteorologists are correct.)

In an effort to make myself take/make more photographs, I've decided to try another year long project. However, a picture everyday is just too much for me to consider right now; so I am going to try to create one image each week.

While editing today's image, I was inspired to try it in two versions - one in full color, the other as an old-style photo with a sepia tone.

Feature Friday - NaturaLLinens on Etsy

2011-09-30T10:04:00.000-04:00

Happy Friday,

I haven't done a "POUNCE found" Friday Feature in a long, long time, but when I saw NaturaLLinens shop I knew it was time to change that.

This fabric basket is so adorable and colorful! You'll also find pillows, napkins, and even a linen/cotton tray basket - so cute!

From the shop's announcement: "We love being able to offer items using natural fibers created by our Heavenly Father. Our family's is on an exciting journey as we strive to serve our most High in humbleness." What could be more eco-friendly!

I hope you'll take a minute or two to visit NaturaLLinens. Maybe you'll find something you can't live without.

Peace, Judi

Today's Lunch

Today's Lunch, originally uploaded by Judi FitzPatrick Studio.

Howdy!

My plum tomatoes are just coming ripe, and I wanted to use a couple of them at lunch today.

I had no fresh greens, but did have frozen chopped spinach. On a whim, or inspiration, I did the following.

1. Microwaved about a cup of spinach for 60 seconds.
2. Added the sliced tomatoes and zapped for 30 seconds more.
3. Added a handful of chopped walnuts and a small bunch of chopped basil, also from my garden, and zapped another 30 seconds.
4. I added just a teaspoon or so of a fat free balsamic vinaigrette dressing.
Voila - lunch in a bowl with almost no effort.

Thanks for stopping by!

Peace, Judi
