The Lady Madonna Dilemma

October 9, 2006

I have been struggling with a bad cold since Wednesday of last week. Jerry came over to work on Hoboes last Wednesday but I really couldn’t get much done. By Thursday I was sick sick sick and unable to move. I slept a full 24 hours and had a fever of 103 most of the [...]

Vintage Velvet

September 27, 2006

I finally found the Velvet for Lady Madonna. I am going to use this vintage dress. I have been looking all over for it and was very very happy when I found the fabric. I believe that my friend Jill is going to wear the dress for Halloween before I take it apart and sew [...]

Hobo Nickel

August 20, 2006

I guess it is fairly obvious that I did not get back to the blog on Thursday or Friday. This week has been hectic as we will commence Fall semester 2006 at the College of Charleston next week. Until things slow down and I actually get everything ready for Vermont I think I am going [...]

I finally found the freaking Microscope Slides

August 14, 2006

for 34 dollars for 8 packs of 72. And only 34 dollars plus shipping. All was not wasted today. I can finally move forward! I failed to mention in my eariler post that Jerry brought me more smushed pennies on 8/10 and I think these are the best ones yet. They were maybe run over [...]

Smushed Pennies/Penny Project

July 31, 2006

Today I am going to back track a little and talk about the Smushed Pennies/Penny Project. Seems like a good day to do this so here goes. Many many days Jerry is kind enough to walk down to the train tracks, drop off pennies to be run over by a train, pick them up the [...]

Imogene's Ring

July 24, 2006

Today I saw a little boy with a black eye and had to peer over him to make sure he was still breathing. He was, he was just out cold in the lobby. I guess technically he wasn’t a “little” boy but since I have officially reached middle age at 36 and he was way [...]

Lady in the Water…Joey in a Margarita Glass

July 23, 2006

Today I started trying to put Lady Madonna together and failed miserably. I found out through trial and error that my base design has some major structural issues. Realizing this I decided to ask Christopher for some help. He tried but he couldn’t make it work either. By the end of the experimentation to see [...]

Lady Madonna Gets More Hair

July 16, 2006

I had to start with this. Earlier this week Jerry and I ran across many many vans in parking garage decorated like this. Reminded me of our trip to Gatlinburg Tennessee. Groovy and bizarre all in the same breath…Just like Gatlinburg. I highly recommend that if you have not seen 1) Christmas lights in February [...]

Lady Madonna gets her first strand of hair

July 9, 2006

All I was able to accomplish today was to figure out how Madonna’s hair was going to work and to cut, tape, and solder one piece. Here’s some pictures.

Friday Night did not end until 6am Saturday Morning

July 8, 2006

Friday I had to go to my friend Mandi’s 30th birthday party so was not able to do much on anything. I did work with Jerry some to fix the last offending post on the blog and this seems to have fixed the category problem (at least on most monitors that have a normal ratio [...]
