Elizabeth Christman

" . . . The passive voice is the enemy. There will be time enough. Reading is the most enduring of all life's pleasures. Deciding what you want is the difficult part; the rest is just hard work. No extraneous words. "Middlemarch" is the best book written in English. Writers write; you can't just tell them you won a contest! I think we should have a glass of wine, don't you? Soon you will be happy to be referred to as girls." ---excerpt from Melinda Henneberger's article about remembering her English Professor, Elizabeth Christman.

Clients

Taken from Soulellis.com

Michael Bierut talks about clients.

  • Clients can be the best part of the design process.
  • Clients are the difference between art and design.
  • My clients are the same as yours.
  • The right client can change anything.
  • The best clients love design, or don't give a damn about it. (i.e., they have confidence)
  • The worst clients are somewhere in between. (i.e., they have fear)
  • Never talk about "educating the client."
  • What makes a great client? Brains, passion, trust and courage.
  • "You'll never go wrong when you work with someone smarter than you." (Tibor Kalman)
  • Warning: Your great client may not be my great client.
  • Great clients lead to more great clients (and more great work).
  • Bad clients lead to more bad clients (and more bad work).
  • Bad clients take up more of your time than they should.
  • Meanwhile, we take great clients for granted.
  • The trick is to reverse this.
  • What do I owe a great client? Loyalty, honesty, dedication and tenacity.
  • Once you find a great client, never let them go.
  • If you can find five great clients, you're set for life.
  • "You'd better find somebody to love." (Jefferson Airplane)
  • Good luck.

The Black Star Project


I woke up to the CEO of The Black Star Project talking about this program on the radio. He was down to earth and very scientific in this explanation of goals and action plans of this program for at risk youth.
Someone in a knitting class I took was going to try a community knitting group in the inner city. I found this article about a program in Boston. A community that knits together, stays together ; )

Ciaran Hinds is Aberforth Dumbledore!


"You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own, than when you almost broke it eight years and a half ago.Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you."
--Jane Austen, Persausion

Persistence

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

– Calvin Coolidge

Knitting for people size



I finally started a knitting project that is not a miniature, it is people size - my size. The Central Park Hoodie in a midnight blue yarn is on my knitting needles. It takes a lot longer to knit for people than dolls.
Imagine that?

When I get to the part of sewing the hoodie part together, I want to remember the technique pictured. --don't forget rebecca

Flags of the World

Which One is Pink?


Pink Floyd is one of my all time favorite bands. No, I don't sm*ke P@t. Every time someone hears I like Pink Floyd, they assume I'm the local illegal substance provider. Ugh. It is like Pink Floyd is a code word for something else. I do not use or promote their use, thank you very much. But, I do love Pink Floyd. Shine on you crazy diamonds.

I miss the road


Just found this video by Landon Durnan on Pret a Voyager's blog. I miss the feel of the road when traveling long distances on vacation, not that I ride a motorcycle, just in the car. I have been on the computer a long time editing photos and trying to figure out ccs, ftp, and other mystical computer code in trying to update my website. So, I will just watch Landon's video for a quick vacation.

I love letterpress!



I always wondered how letterpress was done, and the wonderful people at Hello Lucky have a little show about the process!

I am trying to figure out FTP and coding for the website update. It is true what my teachers told me in elementary school, "It is important to follow directions well." When I misunderstand or miss a step in the directions of these tutorials, it takes hours to figure out where I went a miss!
