Lending library getting organized

I made excellent progress on the UUCLC Lending Library this morning, while the board of directors held its monthly meeting. I filled out binder sheets for more of the books and put borrowers' card envelopes in each of them. The library is getting organized.

Custom avatar: ‘Oops, Wrong Planet’


Here’s a custom avatar wearing a pale blue spaghetti-strap cami with the “Oops, Wrong Planet” Asperger Syndrome awareness logo by Autist Art (on a garment purchased through Cafe Press).

I downloaded the original, wearing a white cami top, from Yahoo! Avatars. I used Adobe Illustrator to superimpose the logo onto her cami top. I also changed the cami’s color from white to pale blue.

‘Hattitude’: Piecework hat from favorite fabrics

Cynthia Parkhill in brimless hat, visible from the top. The crown consists of pale blue circular brocade medalion on green velvet. The sides of hat are royal blue floral brocade with an edging of red and orange sunflower-printed cotton.

The best hats are the ones that I make myself. Here is a piecework cap assembled out of blue and green brocade and velvet fabrics, reversible to lining of red and orange sunflower-printed cotton.

Miss Elizabeth my sewing helper

Cat burrows her head into a sheet of sewing directions, next to a length of sunflower fabric that is spread out on the ground with pattern pieces pinned to it.

Elizabeth likes to involve herself in her human's sewing projects. She would consider it "helping."

‘Hattitude’: Sunflower hat

Cyntbia Parkhill wearing brimmed hat made out of sunflower-on-white fabric. Her sleeveless dress is of sunflower-on-green-check fabric.

The sunflower hat is hand-made out of fabric featuring my favorite flower. The sunflower's face constantly turns toward the sun. Jonathan is much the same way in his ongoing quest for truth.
