Music Monday - Patty Griffin

Hi!  How was your Monday?  Mine was so strange!  I can't think of another word to describe it.  Tons of weird stuff happened all day.  Work was...I don't even know.  Just weird!  I'm not even going to waste time talking about it.  Then my phone decided to stop working so I skipped my fitness class to go get it fixed.  By the time it was too late to go to class my phone started working fine again.  Then my internet at home went out.  The list just goes on and on.

Luckily I made it through the day and somehow managed to stay pretty positive through all most of it.  ;-)  I thought it would be fitting to have a music monday song about a heavenly day to try to cancel out the not so heavenly day I had.

This is Patty Griffin singing Heavenly Day.

Happy Monday!

All Was Well

I'm going to see Harry Potter today!  

I'm so excited to finally see the last movie but I'm a little sad that it's over.  I've spent so many years reading the books and watching the movies.  It's a little weird to think that there won't be any more to look forward to.

Have you seen the movie yet?

Fisheye for Free

I really want to have a fancy camera one day so that I can buy fun lenses like the fisheye lens.  Since I can't afford one right now I have to settle for the iPhone app version.  I did a search for free fisheye apps first (I always try free first).  I found an app called Fisheye for Free.  I used it on a few of the pictures I had on my phone.

It's pretty fun.  It's not the best but it'll work for playing around with my pictures for now.  Most of the pictures I used were taken with Hipstamatic to give them an even more fun look.  I will definitely be researching other apps that aren't free to see if there is anything that works better, but for now I'm happy with this fun little app.  I have a couple of fun ideas for it.  :-)

This is a video called #CIRCLEPIC.  It's a fun project that Bryan Brinkman did on Twitter a couple of years ago.  He asked his followers to tweet photos of circles and tag them with #circlepic.  Then he made this film out of the pictures.  I thought it was a fun idea so I sent in a couple of pictures.  Hehe!

It's going to be another busy weekend for me.  Lots of crafty fun.  Be sure to check back here because I have a fun surprise for you!  :-)

What are your plans for the weekend?

Try To Remember

Hello!  This post is just a quick reminder about the In Your Eyes photography project.  The deadline to email your pictures to me is Friday, July 29th.  The pictures will be up here on the blog and on the flickr page on Sunday, July 31st.  Email pictures to dreamingincraft@gmail.com.  Remember...the theme for this month is The Rainbow Connection.  Take pictures of your favorite color or colors. 

Here's a picture to help get you inspired.

This is Shawn Colvin singing Try to Remember from the musical The Fantasticks.  It's such a beautiful song and I love the way she sang it. This is a recording from a show that was on Bravo in 2002 called Broadway's Best.  Did you see it?  ;-)

Enjoy!

Treasury - Let's Play Dress Up

This week's treasury is all about pretty dresses.  I have recently been going through a phase where I love to wear dresses.  I wish I could afford to go shopping and buy a bunch of new ones to wear all summer.  :-)

For now I'll just have to enjoy these pretty pictures on Etsy.

Toy Joy Art Show 2011

I went to the Toy Joy Art Show opening on Thursday and it was really fun.  I didn't take any pictures of the art work because I felt a little weird posting pictures of someone else's art work without their permission.  But, I did take a bunch of other pictures that night.

The show was at the 29th Street Ballroom at Spiderhouse Cafe.

 

Recognize these little cuties?

 

We went to Toy Joy to look around after the show.

The night was really fun!  I still can't believe I got to be a part of an art show!  :-)

What have you been up to this weekend?
