Lis's Project 365

Recently, a bunch of folks at work went crazy and organized our materials resource room, which, as you can imagine, has a large assortment of stuff in it.  Including several different size cups.

There was actually one interesting thing on the local ballot…the city  is hoping to revise its charter, and we’re voting on the committee to do it.

While Doug and Susan went to a tasting at Shipyard Brewery, I found my way to a bookstore that had a very amusing way of labeling its Fiction section.

Since we’re in Maine, it was an opportunity to get together with Bridget, who I haven’t seen in a few years.  We had brunch then she brought us to this crazy place called Liberty Tool.  The first floor is every kind of tool and hardware you can think of, as long as it’s not electric.  The top two floors were like a hardware store met a flea market; as Doug described it “it’s like a whole town’s worth of grandfathers died and sent the contents of all their workshops and attics to this one store.”

Went for a walk around an historical cemetery in Portland this afternoon.  Cemeteries are often nice places to walk, and it seemed an appropriate thing to do on Halloween.

…clearly snuck into work overnight and set up on the climbing structure.    It’s really tough to get a good shot in this area of the building because there’s so much light coming from one side, but I still wanted to share this.

There was a workshop today for some employees from a local toy company.  They were fun people, who liked to play, and took doodling to a whole new level.

Doug already posted his picture here, but I wanted to add one of my own.  So Doug is….well….he’s Doug.  So now the new cupola on the garage is our own little Hancock tower.  I think this is hilarious, and I hope the neighbors enjoy it.

No, not really.  The porch has a fresh coat of stain on, so we are not to walk on it for a few days.  We’ll be using the back door instead.

An activity at work today: playing with natural dyes.  We had some beautiful colors from cranberries, red cabbage and onions.
