Corks




I started collecting wine corks a little while ago. For no particular reason. Then I decided I could make something out of them. Right now I have them in an over-sized margarita glass. They are fun to take photos of!

Theresa and I have a collection of them, too. We haven't figured out what we're going to make yet, have you?

Hi Doug and Theresa!
I've no idea how you found my blog, but it's great to hear from you :-)
Corks- I saw a really good door wreath made from corks once...??
I'm told they make good pot stands too.. how creative are you?

I've been following you for a while now, I don't remember how I found you. Maybe Dick posted a link?

I've been thinking of looking for a shadow box and gluing them into it to make a "cork board" for the kitchen to post notes on. I'm not sure how well that would work, though.

I doubt if I'm crafty enough to make a pot stand, but if you find plans post a link. :-)

I saw someone on slashfood (I think?) make a tray with his corks, but I'm not sure I'm creative enough for that. Not all of our corks are made of cork; we have quite a few plastic ones, too, and there's no way to incorporate the ones from sparkling wines that have the different shape.

I may be overthinking this subject, though. :-)

Morgan Hill Friday and Saturday

This past weekend was one of those amazingly busy Morgan Hill weekends. It all starts with the Friday night music series. Everyone sitting around with their chairs or blankets at the small outdoor amphitheater behind the Community and Cultural Center watching and/or dancing to the live band. Everything from country to R and B, Blues or Rock and Roll. I've now come to prefer this location to the old 3rd street location- it just makes so much more sense. Saturday morning I joined the Morgan Hill Photography Club for the 2nd annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk. 32,600 people took part in their own cities. We basically wandered through the downtown area taking lots of photos. It was very hot and I didn't find the perfect picture but it was fun all the same. My favorite pictures turned out to be the ones of people.. I still got to go to the market- my favorite Saturday morning "chore"... We then spent a couple of hours pulling my new motorbike apart and making absolut...

Travelling to Kauai

So this week, my blog entries will also be a diary of my holiday in Kauai, and a photo or two, although most of the photos will probably be on my Flickr page. We left home yesterday early from San Jose airport, which was not a pleasant experience- one word sums it up- queues! We only just made the plane and arrived at the airport over an hour and a half before the flight. The flight was on Hawaiian Air, and they too, are squeezing every penny they can, from having to pay to check any bags, to renting headsets and movie players on board. The flight was a long one; extra time for strong headwinds meant a 6 hour flight just to Honolulu. We did make the connection in time and the 30 minute flight to Kauai was so short it was laughable. It was also really windy in Kauai but it was warm and slightly humid with partly cloudy skies. Perfect. We arrived at the rental home a few hours before Joel and Stevie and found out very quickly why they love it so much here: and the view from the house was...
