REALLY High Water At Siltcoos Lake Florence Oregon

The coast is having heavy rains. We dug though our photos to show you a comparison of how high the lake is. Above you see a REALLY high lake in January 23rd of 2012. Be sure to click the images to see them full sized.

"How long will that leaning tree hang in there?"

Marcel Wanders, YLighting and FLOS Art Contest

Marcel Wanders, YLighting and FLOS Art Contest

Every now and then I like to do artwork that is different or more challenging than what I am used to. While shopping for lighting I came across the Marcel Wanders, YLighting and FLOS Art Contest and immediately knew this was my chance. Often, there is something I need to draw like a fence design, invention or illustration and I draw that. This contest was more challenging, in that, it was something outside of my own relativity altogether. I would need to think differently and shift to even begin.

"What came to mind is that all of these different people and businesses cross and come together in the amazing magazine ads their products appear in..."


Flooding In Mapleton And High Winds In Florence...

Image from InfusionFibers

The coast is having heavy rains. We had high winds and more is on the way. Mapleton is flooding and the Siuslaw is high. So how high is it? We found some videos on line to help tell the tale.

"The high winds blew a lot of our fence over, threw one of our planter boxes and took out at least 4 near by trees. "

You can track the amount of rain fall on the NOAA web site on there DUNO3 page. If you not near the dunes but are still in NW Oregon find the weather station nearest to you on the ORZ002 page

You can see some of the damage on the InfusionFibers page Big Storm. There were power lines down all over and many places did not have power for days. Accoring to NOAA (1/20/2012):
THE FLOOD WARNING CONTINUES FOR THE SIUSLAW RIVER NEAR MAPLETON.
* AT 7 PM THURSDAY THE STAGE WAS...27.3 FEET / 46100 CFS.

Under The Christmas Tree

Under The Christmas Tree

We planted out little live Christmas tree. Today we looked out and what did we see? A beautiful doe under the tree!

Cedar Flooring And a New Wooden Mallet

Cedar Flooring And a New Wooden Mallet

So I find myself remodeling a closet. Ya, could it be, could it be better than this? I think it can. If you have a penchant for natural fibers like wool and cashmere then you know that your home has mo'hair than most other homes! And I think the moths might know that on some deep level. SO... is the moth eating your sweaters a so called "urban tale"? They should be here in our house by the millions, I mean really. I personally can clog the stainless drop in screen in the shower within minutes. Ya, and that is naked, can you imagine if I was dressed? Well I have not seen any fiber eating moths but I tend to try to err on the side of caution, so I thought cedar in the closet might be nice. The place to begin was the floor so I cut up some scrap and launched it through the planer. Sanded it down to 220 grit and installed it using a new mallet.

"Ok, a confession. I really like moths..."
