Yesterday was the last day of school for a couple of weeks. I'm on vacation and will be busy with house projects and getting presents ready for Christmas. I was going through my folders on my computer and came up with some photos to add to the blog for no real reason, but they were interesting. The picture of Matt and I was in D.C. in '05, I think. As you can guess, its at cherry blossom time.
This photograph was taken on a hike in the Adirondacks.

Family

To introduce myself, you will need to know my family. My husband's name is Matt. I have 2 stepdaughters named Madeline and Alexandra. Here is a picture of me and Matt and then another one with Alexandra on the left and Madeline on the right.

Felting

Here are some felted projects I did earlier this year. Lots of fun, and I want to make time to do more. I made a neat necklace and earrings I should photograph or scan.

This is my cutie pie kitty , Cezanne. I got him from the pound and he's been driving me crazy "every" since, but I love him. His coloring reminds me of Paul Cezanne's landscapes even though I love his stilllifes so much more. He's softer than any cat you'll pet . He loves to hunt, but now with our city setting he has to stay inside, much to his chagrine. He's been injured too many times and I fear for his life. He's a vocal cat who has to be sent to the basement bathroom at night or else he'll jum p on the bed and wake you up with his loud meows.

Starting a blog

I just canceled my website, tamarathomas.com because I wasn't using it to it's fullest capacity and I was basically wasting my money. I figure I'll give this a try. Share photos for friends and family to see. I can show off my latest art work, craft or house project. Right now my camera is broken, so I'll have to hold off showing the progress on the kitchen. (the camera may have broken at the school trip to Camp Letts where I was photographing the students creating artwork in the style of Andy Goldworthy. It was pouring rain and the kids just kept creating. They came out great.) If I can find a photo I will show off some of the kids' work. Well, all I could find quickly was one from last year.
