Project 365 Week 8
Wow. Look at this week 8. Two months. Patting myself on the back, LOL.
Day 50
This week's P52 was "spot of color". That's it. No explanation just using the old noggin. Mine happens to be a bit of red piping and gold buttons on a field of blue. Bet you can guess what it is too, can't you? Just call me a proud mom.
Day 51
My grandfather's martini set. Now it is just for show. But pretty cool, huh?
Day 52
A shot glass from Germany sitting in a zarf holding cocktail umbrellas.
Day 53
A mini zen garden on a shadow box shelf in my computer room.
Day 54
Fabric that I considered for Indy's viking clothes.
Day 55
This is what he will end up with. I just noticed it looks a lot like a Qui Gon's outfit. I wonder if he will see the resemblance?
Day 56
Shelf number two of the china cabinet. Opposite side of the martini set is my oriental plates, bowls and chopsticks, along with a wedding picture.

Project 365 Week 7
The macro project this week was something unexpected (although it could be stages???). What was unexpected was in searching further into my china cabinet I came across these hand-blown glass cocktail stirrers that came with drinks we had ordered at a TGIF's in Orlando about 10 years ago. 
Gotta Pixel's Project 52 this week was Still Life with food. How fortuitous that I was having a master chef salad on the very same day. Leftover roast, steamed asparagus, hard boiled egg, romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes and fresh, water packed mozzarella cheese. Doesn't get any better than this.
Our oldest is celebrating his wedding next week with a recreation Viking ceremony. As mother of the groom, I couldn't just wear any old thing and spent the better part of the last couple of weeks making the underdress and apron dress. 
This is another one of my cork sculptures, but the protective shell had gotten broken. It is another hidden treasure in the china cabinet.
Down below in the cabinet is a fish bowl (we bought it for the purpose of recreating Quark's Warp Core Breach drink that we had at the Star Trek Experience in Las Vegas several years ago). Now it is a catch all for a number of things. Can you figure out what everything is?
On the shelf below the fish bowl is our holiday wear. Champagne glasses being held by skeletal hands, hot chocolate mugs, coffee cups along with salt & pepper shakers for Christmas. 
A wedding souvenir - rice tray with our champagne glasses, my and my daughter's fan bouquets, souvenir marriage certificate, wedding announcement/invitation and my headpiece. Now that I have a new chest of drawers, maybe I should hang it above it in the bedroom.

Project 365 Week 6
Godiva chocolate chips. The Gotta Pixel macro challenge this week was candy. 
The project 52 challenge at Gotta Pixel was "10 minutes from home." Ten minutes from my house and you run into the Geek Squad. 
I'm going to be doing a bit of china cabinet diving this week and next. When I took this picture, I realized I have quite a few unique items being stored here. I have a matching "Her Ladyship" coffee cup as well. They were a gift from Pan's sister.
Hiding behind some china, I found a Mickey Mouse souvenir that we picked up about 20 years ago.
Most people get bronzed baby shoes to remember their children or grandchildren's infancy with. My daughter-in-law and son made a molding of Ballerina's fist and made glass replicas. 
I don't recall where this tiny sand painting jar came from. Probably my brother-in-law. It only stands about 1 1/2" tall but the picture is very detailed.
Okay, my wine glasses have a wardrobe. This is one of their shoes. Very springtime, don't you think?
