Another challenge - what do I have?
Q
Comments (10)
It was probably originally made as a vase or urn (hence the open top), then at some point, converted into a lamp base (hence the bottom hole and notch) as has been common for close to 100 years. Champleve cloisonne is a technique where parts of the base metal (commonly bronze) are carved and left bare, with others filled with colorful enamel. I've seen pieces similar to yours reported to be older than the 1920's (mid 1800's) but don't know enough about the designs to be able to say in your case. I'd make it back into a lamp in a heartbeat. Or sell it on eBay if you're not emotionally attached.

Another exercise challenge - 100 pushups - who's in?
Q
Comments (30)
Terriks! 12 consecutive pushups is great! 90 consecutive crunches is great. 150 consecutive squats makes me sore just thinking about it! Are you starting to see or feel a change in you upper body? Push ups really do add definition. As far as my status...a funny thing happened to me on my way to the 100 push ups. I do my cardio and free weights and push ups at home. I do go to the gym to use machines to enhance my work out. While I was there, I asked one of the trainers to take a look at my push up form. Apparently, I was doing them with my back arched a little, not plank like it should be done. So I started to do them with the correct form and I can barely get past 40. My lower back starts to hurt. So unfortunately, I am out of the toe push up challenge, but I can do 100 knee push ups. I did do 200 crunches and 1 squat (ok I did 45 squats, but I hated each and every one. I am so use to doing the leg press at the gym and it's so much easier. I can press more than my weight....but I am a weeny squatter. Keep up the good work.

Another window challenge
Q
Comments (17)
Thanks for all your comments and nice words! The paint is called Wise Owl from Kelley Moore, a regional paint company. I think it's available here in Washington, in California, Texas and a couple other states. LOL natal. Yes, that's a window lock. All six windows are functioning, opening windows which is kind of silly. The one that is closest to the "bridge" can be opened but the others would require a ladder and a lot of bravery. I know the builder's guys enjoyed having them open during construction so they could have some cross ventilation but we won't be opening them any time soon. While I love the idea of spraying the windows, we definitely will not climb ladders as we both have a fear of heights. (Guess you missed the thread about our 17' high smoke detector when the batteries ran low. DH wanted to shoot it--and he's very anti-gun.) Needless to say we don't have a 30' extension ladder but it's a great suggestion for normal people. Squirrelheaven, I'll have to think about that idea some more. If the sheers won't cut down on light they might work. And they'll look nice from the outside too. As for the cost of the remote control thingy, I think if he wants it badly enough, he won't care how much it costs. We differ a lot on that point.

Anyone up for another fashion challenge?
Q
Comments (0)
I have a work event - a ribbon cutting ceremony that will take place both outside and inside and where I will be in a "host" role. It is in August in Florida. Think really hot and really humid. I will have pre and post event responsibilities in addition to a speaking role and in many photo and video ops. I need to be cool and comfortable. I'm starting to stress about what to wear...let alone how to keep my hair from looking like a hot mess. I would typically wear a suit but my best suits are knits or a black tropical weight wool that is either dress/jacket or jacket/pants. None of these options are good. I have considered a white pant suit or a simple dress. Simple Dress I am 5'2" and curvy. Jackets need to be well cut and structured to work with my 34D chest. This group always rises to a fashion challenge so I hope you can help me with this one - thanks!

Thanks Judy! These are so much fun and everyone is so talented.
Bev, yours could be a painting, it's really nice. Sue, how cute is that?? Aw Carol, how sweet, I love it.

Zipper, I'm jealous.That is so great. I tried to get his foot tapping, ended up looking like his sneeker was just going up and down. See I really do need practice. Told you as soon as I posted the second time it would show. I kept getting a red x and when I checked properties it said not available. I guess Netscape was down or something. Sorry to hog up two posts.
