I’m beginning to think my LG LDF6920ST dishwasher is a lemon. After I fixed the leak in my other post, the door started falling down without any resistance. Obviously something else is broken! But it’s my only dishwasher and the prospect of buying a new appliance just doesn’t get me very excited. And besides, when it works it does a pretty good job.

For Those Who Feel Different…
I ran across this beautiful scene early in the spring and it immediately brought to mind those of us who feel different; like we don’t fit in.
Needed an appetizer the other night, so I went through my usual routine of perusing the internet for some ideas & then concocted these Pear & Goat Cheese crostinis. They actually turned out to be really good. So much so we made them again the next night!

Rustic Farmhouse Nightstand
I am working on my next project, a rustic farmhouse nightstand to match my rustic farmhouse bed. Since I finished the bed, we’ve been on the lookout for a nightstand to match, but haven’t found anything that we particularly like or will fit next to the bed. The few options that we sort of liked are pretty expensive, so here’s a shot at a design that I created to make use of some wood I’m reclaiming from some old shelves that I’ve removed from my garage.

Storm Picture
So I’m taking a break in the middle of my storm picture. It’s really quite horrid at this point in it’s life, kind of like a troubled adolescent that’s rebelling against everything I want it to be. And as I’m reflecting on why, exactly, it’s giving me so much grief I think the analogy is a good one – like the angry kid, it’s simply reflecting all of my mistakes in bringing it to this point.

Bistro Style!
We wanted something a little more casual for this week’s Date Night Dinner and something that we could make while talking and having a little fun. That translates to a meal where we don’t really have to think too hard or have to concentrate on a recipe. Homemade flatbread pizzas fit that bill perfectly!

Midnight Blue
Shot this picture very early the other morning. The “real” view was a beautiful midnight blue sky through the trees just before the sun began casting it’s early morning glow. But my camera was still set for some pictures I’d taken inside with some funky lighting, so the white balance was totally off. However, I rather liked the otherworldly effect of the blue and the ghostly pattern among the trees. Sometimes a trash picture turns out to be something interesting.
My LG dishwasher has been leaking water out of the door, leaving a puddle on the floor and threatening to do some serious damage to the hardwoods underneath! After searching on the internet and finding a number of other folks that have the same problem and solutions that all seemed to point to having to buy a new door for it, I decided to do a little reverse engineering and see if I could figure out what was going on. The other common answer for the leaking problem (with the common response being that it doesn’t fix the problem) is a new door gasket. The good news is that I solved my problem for less than $40 using just a phillips screwdriver in about 20 minutes (once I had the part). I hope my solution might help you too.

Another Portrait Sketch
I haven’t posted this sketch until now since I did it as a Christmas present for my sister. But now, I don’t have to keep it a secret anymore. Picture taken at Harper’s 3rd birthday party. Figures that the one I liked best was the one picture where my lighting was terrible. I think my flash probably didn’t go off. But this is one of those pictures that I think just captures Harper’s personality!

Fighting with Black
For days I’ve been banging my head against the wall because my contrast just isn’t there! I’m working through a large landscape, which I shot at night, of dark storm clouds over even darker trees.
