Dragonfly Macro Monday

You never know where you'll meet a new friend, I met this dragonfly on the concrete by our car when we came out of the movie theater. (Snapped with the iPhone)

Macro Monday Spiderlings

Some of the first flowers I see in the spring are these trees full of blooms, while still nearly bare of leaves. They are SO pretty and smell great!



While tending to my plants I noticed these spring hatchlings. I was actually surprised my phone would focus on them.

Shiny Macro Monday

I have been working on another quilt, I need a lot of safety pins to hold all the layers together before quilting.  They fill up this jar on my sewing table as I remove them while quilting.

Lucky Macro Monday

Lucky little trinket - at least I've heard that turtles are lucky.  He's about the size of the end of my thumb, :) .

Clearly Macro Monday

I just remembered I had these sitting in a file on my computer. This past summer, I found this fellow sitting on the bubbles in my kitchen sink. I plucked him out and snapped some photos. :0) Unfortunately, I think the bubbles did him in. :0(

I really liked this view too, but there's not much light shining through it. :(

Macro Monday Me

Do you know how hard it is for a right-handed person to take a photo of their own right wrist? lol So, this is my butterfly number 5, representing surviving the first 5 years after cancer treatment. My friend Leanne designed it for me, she's awesome! There is a "5" in it, see it? Before taking this photo I didn't realize it's still peeling, lol. Macros are fun!



This is my survivor's tattoo. The Chinese symbol stands for "to live" or "to survive", to do "survivor" would have been three symbols. From there I'm adding a butterfly for each year of survival, and a little blue star for each year of marriage. I'm now up to 5 butterflies and 8 stars - these 2 anniversaries are 1 day apart so it makes it easy to do.



See that's how it's all together. I think I need some dots from the little butterfly to the big one to help tie them together more, and I'm thinking about a little scrolly thing at the head of the big one to kinda finish it off. From now on the small butterflies will be added to the other side, spiraling up my arm. Heck, even if I live to 90 I don't think it'll reach my elbow. Can you imagine a 90 year old lady going into a tattoo parlor!? lol

I think I see a heart in this rock, and that's one of my favorite shapes!

yellow flower

Intricately made, wondrously detailed, just like you and me!

~ You can see the explanation behind this project by going here or see the all posts in this category by going here.  May 25th will mark the last day of this project, the 5 year anniversary of the end of chemo and the day I became a survivor.  I beat the odds!

I thought the petal of this lily looked like a foreign land.

Macro Monday Mask

There are so many beads and masks in New Orleans that it was hard to choose. I did finally get one to bring home. :0)

Rosey Macro Monday

As much as I love, love, love, snow, I really am ready for it to go, go, go. :0) So until the ground is no longer white, maybe I should keep flowers around continually.
