Dining with some new Bling

When we moved into our home a little over a year ago, this is what our dining room looked like: Horrifying, I know. This room is affectionately known as “The Barny Massacre Room”. We’ve come a long way, this room and me. I’ve made tons of progress so far on the room. I’ve painted, hung [...]

The single crochet is the simplest crochet stitch, and it is a good building block for learning the half-double crochet and double crochet stitches. If you've already mastered the chain, you're ready to move on to single crochet.

Painting Octagon Window

post from Home Addition on 11 September 2011 08:34:06 PM. © Home Addition

By Mark J. Donovan

Over the past few weeks my wife, daughter and I have been slowly renovating my daughter?s room. We?ve added a fresh coat of paint to the walls and most importantly have been painstakingly painting all of the wood stained trim and doors in the room. This weekend?s project was painting the octagon window in the room. The octagon window was stained years ago, but it also suffered from some water stains.

After removing the octagon window from the window frame we sealed the window with Bin sealer before painting it with two coats of white paint.

Reinstalling the octagon window into the window frame was a bit of a challenge. At one point I found myself crawling out the octagon window frame and onto the adjacent roof to pick up a piece of plastic trim that had fallen off the window. Suffice it to say my wife and daughter got a good kick out of seeing me worm through such a tight opening. But, by the end of the afternoon we had reinstalled the window and it was transformed into a thing of beauty.

How to Take an Aromatherapy Bath

post from How to of the Day on 11 September 2011 04:00:00 PM. © How to of the Day

An aromatherapy bath (or "aromabath") can be a soothing retreat or a reviving experience and a lovely way to get clean. The addition of essential oils to a regular bath can enhance its ability to act as a therapeutic and sensual experience. Other benefits from an aromatherapy bath include softer skin through moisturizing and opening the pores, detoxifying and deodorizing your body.[1]If you're a beginner in the art of aromatherapy, starting with aromatherapy baths is a very simple and effective way to connect with the virtues of aromatherapy treatments for your overall well-being.

Hey Westcott, Here's a Great Way To Tilt The
Apollo

post from DIYPhotography.net -DIY Photography and Studio Lighting on 11 September 2011 12:10:15 PM. © DIYPhotography.net -DIY Photography and Studio Lighting

Hey Westcott, Here's a Great Way To Tilt The Apollo The Westcott Apollo is one of my favorite light modifiers. You've seen it featured a ton of times on DIYP. It's one of the more bought items on the Gear Guide, and we like it so much that we even gave one away a while back.

If you wanna see it in action, check out how Benjamin Von Wong pushed it to the edge with fireworks (or a more traditional shoot by Zack Arias).

Anyhow, the unique softbox-like light with the umbrella ease and strobe-friendliness makes it a great tool to have in your on location lighting box (or bass case).

There is only one small thing which is not perfect about the Apollos, they don't tilt. Really. If you are shooting with an Apollo on a light stand, you are pretty much limited to having the box point forward or sideways. It is not trivial to have it look 45 degrees down.

Basically, the Apollo gives you two options: Great light, with the strobe very close to the back screen, and almost no tilt. OR, you move the strobe closer to the shaft base (the zipper on the bottom of the Apollo allows this) to tilt, but then you risk hot spots.

Hutten for no wine drinker

Materials: Hutten wine rack, screws, Grundtal s-hanger,

Description: I'm an sober alcoholic and have nothing to do with wine, but in our holiday apartment we have lots of slanted walls and not enough space to store kitchen things. So I found out, we can handle the problem with hanging...

Just make sure, that the Grundtal s-hangers can slip behind the rods and move easily. Tadaaaa!
