Mother Nature at her finest!

[auntiemeesh]

I have very rarely had a chance to watch the leading edge of a storm front sweep across the sky the way this one did this morning. I took these pics just after finishing my run (just in time, too!) this morning, on the CMU campus.





These two are my favorites. Look at that sky, all swirly and menacing. Nature is amazing! (Click on image and then again on Scrapbook image to get it full-size.)


In other news, my boning and pins arrived today. I'm not sure the boning is going to be stiff enough, but I'll give it a try. It's also a little narrower than I was supposed to get, but I haven't been able to find 3/8" boning anywhere. The choices seem to be limited to 1/4" or 1/2" so I went with 1/4". That may just mean that I add a few extra channels for it, I certainly got enough to do that.

Sadly, despite the arrival of my stuff, I still haven't found the gumption to spread out my muslin and start pinning the pattern pieces. It may have to wait until the weekend, since it requires a certain amount of concentration to do it right, and I've proven to be not so good at that sort of concentration even under the best of circumstances, let alone at the end of the day when I'm completely exhausted.

Oooh, the clouds *do* look like they're swirly.

It was beautiful but a little alarming at the same time, since I was anticipating having to walk to work through the worst of the storm. Luckily it blew over before I needed to leave.

I was surprised we weren't visited by Gozer the Gozarian after that cloud show, actually....

lol. I was just glad it didn't result in the sort of severe storm the weather people were warning about.

I love watching storms and yours is definitely fascinating. I'm glad you got indoors in time.

It was really cool to watch those clouds develop!

Neat clouds. Once again--great shots!
=D

Thanks! I'm becoming more and more impressed with the quality of pics I get off my phone.

Cool, cool photos! Have fun with that sewing stuff whenever you get time to do it. I hope the kitties don't feel too obligated to help!

The kitties are going to be locked safely away whenever the sewing stuff comes out. They may not learn from experience, but I sure do, lol.

LOL! I do not sew much, but I have had enough experience with attempting to lay out a pattern on fabric while being helped by an inquisitive cat to appreciate how quickly humans can learn that it's better to do such tasks without feline help!

Great pics. My problem with getting pics off the phone it that I too do not want to pay for extra stuff on my phone.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

I hear ya. I was lucky enough to end up with a phone that has a usb cable so I don't have to worry about paying extra to send my pics to the computer. That would just be too annoying.
