art of quilted wood
I have a love hate relationship with my current project. I spent 5 hours working on one section and was ready to vomit if I had to do ONE more patch. I have no idea how it will look, but I got it into my head that I wanted to do it and do it I will. It is getting harder to do as the size of it increases. Eventually I will have to build a back brace to support the piece and then I have to figure out how I will add the glaze or resin and where.
It's my birthday later this month and I'll be 52! Dang!!!!!!!!!!!! as the Americans' say, bloody hell!!!!!! as I would say. I look in the mirror and get a shock coz I wonder who the hell I'm looking at. See I still feel like a kid inside, I mean LOOK at my car (aren't those clouds wonderful by the way).
Anyway you know you're getting old when:
You feel like the morning after, and you haven't been anywhere.Yea! what's up with that!You don't remember being absent minded.
Sheesh that never used to bother me.
When a sexy babe catches your fancy and your pacemaker opens the garage door nearest you.
This doesn't apply to me but I thought it too funny.Your idea of weight lifting is standing up.
ha!ha! but it's true.

My Wife keeps trying to get me into knitting/crocheting - maybe I might give it a try some time (I keep wondering how easy it'd be to break up a photo into a grid, and then turn that into granny squares...)
I'm not far behind you on the age thing. Perimenopause is doing a number on me right now. I still feel like a teenager most of the time though...in mind, if not in body.
*HUGS*
I could use the cliche about you are as young as you feel...
Happy Birthday whenever it is.
Take Care

still waters, once I have finished I will show the original alonside the finsihed wood version :)
mine is the 21st angela, woo hoo, I say we do an online Party photo op :)
hum michael I am as young as I feel in my head, but if I go by how my bod feels lately I am ancient LOL! ooh, thanks for the compliment :)
thanks hmbt.
52??? I still feel 13 most days, except when exercising, then I feel everybit my age. It's all the huffing and puffing that used to seem so effortless. Happy Birthday, prematurely.
Your quilt looks good, real good. Maybe you need to take a break and walk away every now and again.
That is a really cool quilt... but probably not very warm... ;)

"hat is a really cool quilt... but probably not very warm... ;)" well it would if you burn it, which is what I feel like doing at the moment. Oh cool, so you have to post a birthday pic :)
ah, thanks sue, it is my youthful personality that deceives people, plus a European way of dressing and doing my hair.
You are adorable darling!!
And we should not be measured by our age, but by our spirit - of which you have multitudinous proportions!!! So stop with the silly 52 thing already!
Anyway, I love your quilt, despite your vomitous protestations.
I have almost vomited over the "Wild Thing" wall too many times to mention. Today. Ugghhh...
Are you an Aries or a Taurus?
I am a Taurus.
Man you make me laugh so hard ;)))))
Its so strange that you have a reply from Angela and StillWaters!
They are names I also have.
I weightlift every day lol....
Tessi two-toes O'shea sends her love xxxxxxxx
bwaaaaaaaaaaaa my camera fell out of my bag on the table onto the floor and it broke. You know what I am like about my camera, bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to go and get a bloody hot curry from the take away so as to distract me from my bad mood.
I feel your pain cause I turned 53 last month, ugh!! Here's another saying...when you wake up drenching wet from a hot flash and wondered where you went swimming while aleep! :(
I'm a taurus also - 4-29. The day I leave for ohio. Woohoo - happy bday to me.
