I recently found out that some one dear to me had a very rare form of cancer. So I started the thing I could do:

fold cranes.

Little bitty cranes:

Joel and I do these project together, that is nice too. I guess it is a little bit of therapy for me too.

Don't worry, I won't show you photos of every single crane I fold, I already did that project. You can look if you want, they are all there, all 1000.

Hope you have a good night!!

You didn't think it would be long before I started another crazy project.... right?

Well, I have been slowly working on this one for a while. I decided that I was going to fold 1000 cranes from 1000 different papers. I have been gathering different origami papers  for about a year or so. I am no where close to 1000. Tonight I was trying to figure out how to catalog all the paper so I had an accurate count. Joel said I should take a photo of each paper then I wouldn't have to get all the paper out to check if I had a paper.  I agreed.

I didn't have to work alone though. I had help.

She even let me take a few photos of her!

You didn't think I would let you off with out seeing some of my papers did you?

Hope you have a great night!!

Here is the big reveal of the secret art project. It was a wedding present for  Bill and Sarah so I couldn't show it off until now. I gave it to them this morning.

It is 1000 cranes folded from 1 inch squares of paper made into Pythagoras Tree.

I also made this handy carrying case for it, because Bill and Sarah are moving away soon.

We got to meet Katie and Riley's new kitties today!

This is Sassafras:

And this is Sand:

I also took a terrible photos of a humming bird (yes, that is the couch's reflection in the window. I am glad you asked):

Hope you have a great night!! I'm beat and I have to go work in the morning!
