Our library here in Elmhurst, IL has a 3D printer, among many other cool things like large format printers, knitting machines, silhouette die cutters, video and sound equipment, and much more available to residents.  So I have been working with my daughter on some projects.  This is my daughter's first project, a model of a makeup case.  The material is a corn bioplastic and we used the suggested beginner's program Tinkercad to design.  Then just send the file to the library for printing.  Easy as can be.  Quite fun also.  I hope to share more projects with you in the future!

Have you ever seen white iris before?  I have seen purple iris all my life.  But when I saw these white iris, I just had to have them.  They remind me of paper whites and other winter white florals.  As much as I love color this time of year, there is something very clean and refreshing about white flowers.   I also found these pale pink spray roses for $5!  What a bargain from Marianos in Westchester.  Okay.  I already painted them!  See below.  Kind of a funky abstract playful painting.   Hope you enjoy my new painting.  

If you saw my post regarding 2017 themes, you will know that February was a month for me to paint sweet treats.  Here is a video slide show of some of my past sweet desserts.

I made some delicious pumpkin pancakes with a little bit of nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom today.  And of course, maple syrup and butter made the meal complete.  Oh, I almost forgot!  Fresh organic strawberries from the market as well.  I eat the tops and all.  Haha.   But sadly, the pics of the pancakes I arranged so nicely on a plate with melting butter and maple syrup did not turn out.  I forgot to reformat my SD card.  So even though I clicked, they did not take or save.  I feel sad about that.   But I did find a picture of the strawberries on my phone on my snapchat (angelamoulton is my snapchat ID).
