Don't worry, it's trail rated.

Probably the only good thing about snow melting into springtime is the mud. But only from an aesthetic standing, otherwise it's quite inconvenient. I went on a photographic adventure this afternoon and I really wish I woulda worn my boots and a pair of jeans I hadn't just washed. Getting pretty good at switching lenses on the fly. Saw a bunch of geese. When I was turning around to head back I caught a glimpse of a horse running out of my peripheral vison. Turned to look and it wasn't a horse at all but a rather large buck. I didn't get any good shots of him, only one where you can sorta tell his size. One of those times I wish I wasn't shooting with my camera. I got stuck in the mud a couple times, fell into a snow drift, and almost took a short swim, but I'd say it was a pretty successfull trip. 

All the little black dots and specks are waterfowl.

Some cows.

This is where I almost took a dip.

I didn't mean to take this, but turned out pretty neat.

This is how muddy it was.

Best picture I have that show's the buck's rack.

COFFEE!

FINALLY

Just a couple things..

Proud to announce Rorbeck Photography's facebook page has pictures on it.
Also made and listed three pendants on Dejigle.

..and I miss Mason.

Idle Hands are the Devil's Playthings.

Oh boy has it been a depressingly boring what seems like several months but in reality only one and a half! Unemployment certainly is not meant for me, really miss having a job. Mostly for the comforting income it's stressful not being able to pay rent and bills (thanks mom and dad). It is also very boring. I finally can't take it anymore, I like to sleep, more then most people, but even that is getting really old. My solution to to immerse myself in projects, no excuses not to finish them. There is about twenty days until my next semester starts and I really want to be more organized this time around, both physically and digitally. Still working on transfering all my files from my laptop to the new behemoth with a few issues. I'd like to organize them as I go but that may not happen since I really need to get the thing sold since it's value isn't getting any higher despite being a fabulous Mac.
As for physical organization I have started by re-aranging my "work space". I have since began working on Mason's painting so the organization has taken a back-seat. Here is my work in progress. Mess haters may find the images hard to look at.

Moved the desk from the niche, such an odd space will probably become home to the kitchen chairs.
Also doing laundry, why not?

The livingroom is now home to my snorknose painting, this room just needs things to be put away.
More laundry.

Business on one side and crafty on the other, also plastic shelves that are half orgainized. Need to set up my sewing machine as I have lots of projects just in that category I'd like to do. Including Grandma Jackie's quilt :)








All in all I'd say it's definately a work in progress but it is getting there, just need to keep at it.

Daddy Doe :)

Nothing to say Saturday

Days gone by

What have I been up to lately? Aside from obviously not blogging I have been trying to tackle all my assorted projects and accidentally starting new ones. My painting is nearing completion which is good since I have another 24x36 to start. I finished my second set of coasters after finally finding some cork to put on the backs. I most recently began re-apholstering my dining chairs. You see, my house has red and weird tan/yellowish walls which totally clash with the blue seats of the chairs, and as I'm not allowed to re-decorate in any way I only had the one option. I have a feeling this will take long to complete, I have one done but ran out of staples and I'm not very good at getting to the store. I want to do something to the backs too, since the cutout shapes clash with the zebra print I chose, without affecting the original chair, so it can always go back to the original.

Oh, I also lit my furnace all on my own. Not really a project but I'd like to think my dad is proud.
