Creating a simple dependency injection framework with custom annotations, reflections and JAXB
You can download the complete source as an Eclipse Java project.

Already featured in the previous parts

In the first part we have created the @Injected annotation, an Interface for our units of work (IUnitOfWork) and skeletons for the Injector and the Executor. The second part was all about gathering the Java reflections basics to process the annotated classes. Finally a basic introduction to JAXB has been featured in the third part. Today we will put it all together.

A base directory for all configurations

You already know how to create configuration instance from XML via JAXB and how to find annotated fields. Next we will define a mechanism to resolve the XML files and inject the instance into the annotated field. For our little example, we define that all configurations will be place in one directory “conf” on the root level of out project. The naming convention for the configuration XML files is canonical name of the field declaration + .xml. This allows an easy resolving of the configurations.
Let’s improve our Injector to use the “conf” director and to inject the unmarshaled instances

package dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc;

import java.io.File;
import java.lang.reflect.Field;

import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;
import javax.xml.bind.JAXBException;

public class Injector {

	private static final File CONFIG_DIRECTORY;

	private static final JAXBContext JAXB_CONTEXT;

	static {
		// get the configuration directory
		File f = new File("conf");
		if (!f.exists()) {
			throw new RuntimeException(f.getAbsolutePath() + " does not exist");
		} else if (!f.isDirectory()) {
			throw new RuntimeException(f.getAbsolutePath()
					+ " is not a directory");
		} else if (!f.canRead()) {
			throw new RuntimeException(f.getAbsolutePath() + " is not readable");
		}
		CONFIG_DIRECTORY = f;
		try {
			// set up th JAXB context
			JAXB_CONTEXT = JAXBContext
					.newInstance("dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc");
		} catch (JAXBException e) {
			throw new RuntimeException(e);
		}
	}

	public static final IUnitOfWork setUp(final IUnitOfWork unit) {

		System.out.println("Injector: setting up "
				+ unit.getClass().getCanonicalName());
		for (Field field : unit.getClass().getDeclaredFields()) {
			// check if field is annotated
			if (field.isAnnotationPresent(Injected.class)) {
				System.out
						.println("  Trying to inject into " + field.getName());
				field.setAccessible(true);
				try {
					// inject into field
					field.set(unit, JAXB_CONTEXT.createUnmarshaller()
							.unmarshal(
									new File(CONFIG_DIRECTORY, field.getType()
											.getCanonicalName()
											+ ".xml")));
				} catch (Exception e) {
					throw new RuntimeException(e);
				}
				field.setAccessible(false);
			}
		}
		return unit;
	}
}

Adding some live to the Executor

Now let’s get back to the Executor from part 1 and apply a few changes:

package dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc;

public class Executor implements IUnitOfWork {

	@Injected
	private IConfiguration conf;

	public void run() {
		System.out.println("running " + this + " with a configuration of type "
				+ conf.getClass().getCanonicalName());
	}
}

And add a configuration file into conf named “dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc.IConfguration.xml”:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<complex-executor-config>
	<sub-tasks>
		<class>dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc. HelloWorldUnit</class>
		<class>dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc. HelloConfigurationUnit</class>
	</sub-tasks>
</complex-executor-config>

Now run IOCSampleApp. Your output should look like:

Injector: setting up dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc.Executor
  Trying to inject into conf
running dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc.Executor@1ad77a7 with a
configuration of type
dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc.ComplexExecutorConfig

So far, so good.

Spice it up!

Until now the Excutor behaves a bit static. What we want is some more injections. To get that we will first create another interface which extends IConfiguration: IHasSubTasks (the name says it all).

package dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc;

import java.util.Collection;

public interface IHasSubTasks extends IConfiguration {

	Collection<IUnitOfWork> getSubTasks();

}

And then we implement the interface in ComplexExecutorConfig:

package dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc;

...

public class ComplexExecutorConfig implements IHasSubTasks {

   ...

   	public List<IUnitOfWork> getSubTasks() {
		List<IUnitOfWork> sTasks = new ArrayList<IUnitOfWork>();
		for (String cn : this.tasks) {
			sTasks.add(Injector.setUp(cn));
		}
		return sTasks;
	}

}

To get this to work we also add an IUnitOfWork setUp(String) method to the Injector to do the dynamic instancing. Neat…

	public static IUnitOfWork setUp(final String cn) {
		try {
			return setUp((IUnitOfWork) Class.forName(cn).newInstance());
		} catch (Exception e) {
			throw new RuntimeException(e);
		}
	}

Two units of work for demonstration purposes

Finally, we create two additional IUnitOfWork implementations to make use of our new toys. Both implementations are simple and straight-forward.

package dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc;

public class HelloWorldUnit implements IUnitOfWork {

	@Override
	public void run() {
		System.out.println("Hello World!");
	}

}

package dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc;

public class HelloConfigurationUnit implements IUnitOfWork {

	@Injected
	private SimpleExecutorConfig conf;

	@Override
	public void run() {
		System.out.println(this.conf.getMessage());

	}

}

Now run IOCSampleApp again:

Injector: setting up dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc.Executor
  Trying to inject into conf
running dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc.Executor@1ad77a7 with a
configuration of type
dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc.ComplexExecutorConfig
Injector: setting up dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc.HelloWorldUnit
Injector: setting up dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc.HelloConfigurationUnit
  Trying to inject into conf
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException:
java.lang.RuntimeException: javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException
 - with linked exception:
[java.io.FileNotFoundException: ...

Boom – just as expected. As you can see the Injector is looking for the configuration file “dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc.SimpleExecutorConfig.xml” to inject conf in dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc.ComplexExecutorConfig, so let’s add it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<simple-executor-config>
	<message>Hello from XML</message>
</simple-executor-config>

Happy Ending

Now let’s do the final run of IOCSample App:

Injector: setting up dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc.Executor
  Trying to inject into conf
running dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc.Executor@b8f82d with a
configuration of type
dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc.ComplexExecutorConfig
Injector: setting up dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc.HelloWorldUnit
Injector: setting up dukeslittleb.tutorials.ioc.HelloConfigurationUnit
  Trying to inject into conf
Hello World!
Hello from XML

That’s it! Now you know how to implement your own custom runtime annotations in Java, how to access fields reflectively (as a matter-of-fact methods work just the same) and how to use JAXB for your Java XML bindings.

Thanksgiving is this week. Holy cow. I felt like I was just writing about Halloween (oh wait, I was…damn I’ve been slacking on my posts, sorry guys!). As you can probably tell from my recent lack of posts, I haven’t really had a lot of extra time on my hands, but with the holiday season ahead of us, I’ll try to not disappoint!

I always love having a cornucopia in a Thanksgiving decor scheme. It’s just so traditional. It’s derived from Greek mythology in which a magical goat’s horn filled itself with whatever food and drink its owner requested. It has since become a universal symbol of bounty, which, in turn, is celebrated at America’s Thanksgiving.

You can make your own “horn of plenty” at home and fill it with your heart’s desire. Here’s how:

What you need:

2-foot-long wicker cornucopia (available at crafts stores or floral shops)
2 yards of burlap
Scissors
Hot-glue gun
Three 200-gram packages of raffia
Spool of jute string
Large binder clip

1. Pull the burlap around the wicker cornucopia frame, and tuck it inside. Trim any extra burlap with scissors, leaving enough to fold under at edges for a finished look.
2. Hot-glue the burlap to the frame, lifting the fabric in several areas to apply glue. Press firmly for several seconds so the burlap sticks. Inside the frame, fold the burlap edges under to make a clean hem, and glue to the frame.
3. Assemble a hank of raffia about 3/4 inch thick; using string, tie a knot around one end of the hank, and clip it to the table. Then wind the string around the raffia at 2-inch intervals to make a yard-long rope.
4. When you get to the other end, tie a knot. Make another raffia rope. Then, using a short piece of jute string, tie the two ropes together end to end to create one double-length rope.
5. Make a total of 9 double-length ropes to cover a cornucopia of this size. For the lip of the cornucopia, make a double-length raffia rope, about 2 1/4 inches thick, tying the string around it at 4-inch intervals so the result is looser.
6. Tie the end of a raffia rope to the tip of the frame with string. Wind the raffia around, and apply glue as you go. At the end of the rope, tie it to another with string, and continue. When all but the lip is covered, tie a long piece of string to the end of the last raffia rope and wrap it around the frame; knot it.
7. At the basket lip, attach the thicker raffia rope to the last thin rope with string, tying at 4-inch intervals.
8. Apply more hot glue where needed to secure the raffia ropes to the frame. To display, line the opening with stalks of dried wheat, and add long-lasting fruits and vegetables. I suggesting stuffing the inside with hay, leaves, or something similar…that way you won’t have to buy as many fruits and vegetables, which are a bit more expensive.

Since J and I don’t host thanksgiving and since we are currently out of town I knew this week was going to be something easy and made with the things I have on hand. I only set the table for 2 since usually it’s only J and I for dinners.

The runner came from homegoods about a month ago.

I simply used our every day plates and set them on a red charger. I used our yellow spring bowls to play with the orange and gold in the runner. The flowers are napkin ring holders. The small candles & holders are from an iron wall hanging that I haven’t put up yet.

For the centerpiece I used real cranberries, water, and a floating candle in a small hurricane. In the pics you can tell the cranberries were still frozen… Id reccomend thawing them first. I would have liked to use white mums or flowers instead of a candle but they would have died by the time we got back. I set the centerpiece on a fall serving platter I picked up at starbucks last winter for a whopping 5 bucks.

Oops! I just realized i forgot to take a full table shot! I will edit and add when we get home…

Overall I’m happy with what I was able to pull together for FREE and it will be nice to return to a clean and set table!

Don’t let the trek from city to farmland daunt you, you can have your very own organic farm in your own backyard. Some Portland city-dwellers are discovering the joys of raising their very own plants and animals while maintaining a day job.

Just as cats and dogs have evolved into common household pets, so have chickens for some local hipsters. It is legal in Portland to have up to three hens, ducks, rabbits or pigmy goats without a permit. In one of the interviews conducted on the local radio show called, “Destination DIY”, Portland residents, Scott and Salina, state their observation of this growing trend, comparing it to the pot-bellied pig fad of the mid-nineties “except you can get something from chickens.” They might not give love like cats or other household pets but they give eggs. They also have personalities. This fact might make it a bit of a challenge for those who eat meat to detach from the animal as a pet and think of it as a meal. However, by owning a chicken or other farm animal, you become involved in the entire cycle of its life.

It was also stated in this locally run audio show that in a recent craigslist search, there were 49 chicken related postings in Portland and the surrounding metro area. There are even different events occurring around town such as the annual Tour de Coups. This year’s tour featured 18 different coups.

Connor Voss and Sarah Brown, residents of Milwaukie, began their own little backyard farm with the intention of not buying any food. When they realized that they were farming more than they could consume, they began selling to friends through a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture model). In this program, seven of their friends pay between $15-20 monthly for fresh produce. In addition to farming, they raise chickens and lambs.

By listening to this radio show, it surprised me how many people are taking action to support themselves, their families, and community by taking action rather than sitting back and waiting for the world to change. I’ve realized in the past few months just how possible it is to live a sustainable lifestyle.

Robot.ie looking for team members for Robot Challenge. Sounds like fun.

Alt du trenger er noen kvister, eventuelt et tre, (her er det smart å fjerne barken), litt maling – gjerne i hvitt, rødt. lilla eller sølv. Deretter noen julekuler (kjøpes billig på Ikea), gjerne noe julestrømper også, samt fiskesnøre (kjøpes i sporstsbutikker).  Heng kvisten over spisebordet, på veggen eller sett dem i en krukke.

Jeg lot meg inspirere av disse bildene, og lurer jammen på om jeg ikke skal ut å finne meg et lite tre eller en stor kvist Får vente til det slutter å regne…

As I said before, I have recently started a new job.  With that has come a new, but bland, office.  So, I got to work.  The first project I have completed is a table for the office.  I found this ugly guy with a paper top for a couple of dollars at the thrift store:

I started by sanding the wood legs and sides a bit and then painting them black.  I then used scrapbook paper on the top.  I taped the paper down, starting with a full sheet in the very middle of the table.  When the sheets were lined up nicely, I used ModPodge to cover the sheets, using a foam brush.  I did several coats of this, drying in between. 

Black and white, of course!

One thing I learned from using the ModPodge was that it makes the paper wet, so at first it will bubble up.  This smooths out as it dries.  But, I did make the mistake of lining the paper sheets up perfectly edge to edge.  Lining them up with a bit of overlap would have prevented the sheets from moving as they dried.  I do have a few tiny spots where there are gaps between the paper now.  I learned!

C and I both love to have guests visit.

And although, in our apartment, we don’t have many over night guests, we do our best to make anyone that visits comfortable, no matter how long their stay.

We first saw “Bathroom Baskets” on the Wedding Bee when we were planning our wedding.

And basically, a bathroom basket had all kinds of goodies for your wedding guests. Anything from mouth wash to deoderant to shout pens, etc.

We didn’t do this at our wedding, but have thought it would be a good idea to have in your guest bathroom for your visitors to use while they are there.

I myself have sometimes wished I had mouthwash after eating dinner at someone’s house, or needed a shout pen.

And alas, I found someone who had done such great things on The Glamorous Life of a Housewife. Not only does she do such fabulous things, so does her mom!

If you are hosting guests this Thanksgiving holiday, you might stock up on a few extra goodies in case someone forgets their toothbrush.

Having trouble deciding what to put in your basket? Here are some ideas to put in your bathroom basket:

First Aid

• Tylenol/Advil
• Antacid/Pepto Bismol
• Benadryl
• Gas-X
• Cough drops
• Bandaids
• Antiseptic/Neosporin

Toiletries

• Lens solution
• Eye drops
• Vaseline
• Deodorant
• Lotion
• Brush-ups (disposable “toothbrushes”)
• Floss
• Mouthwash
• Toothpicks
• Hair spray
• Body Spray
• Feminine hygiene products (tampons, pads)

Tools

• Sewing kit
• Nail File
• Inexpensive combs
• Hair elastics
• Bobby pins
• Safety pins
• Q-tips
• Spot remover wipes/Tide To Go pen
• Mints/Gum
• Lint brush
• Downy Wrinkle Releaser

For the Restroom

• Paper Hand Towels
• Air freshener
• Scented candle

You might even want to include a little poem:

To help you fell your best!
Just use a little,
Freshen up,
And leave for other guests!

*These fabulous bathroom baskets are seen on the sites mentioned above.

And if you have a little extra room, maybe you could have a little shelf for your goodies.

Your guests are sure to leave feeling pampered!

This Wrap Story is part of a mini-series, documenting every present I’ve wrapped since the launch of this blog. For more, click the “Wrap Story” link in the right-hand column!

We were invited to a church friend’s birthday lunch and G. kindly watched N. so I could go. I expected a small gathering, but to my surprise we filled two banquet-length tables on the patio of Daisy Mint!

I gave the birthday girl a notepad made with papers retrieved from the recycling bins of MOCA (by me, who else). I made it a card and gift in one by writing the birthday wishes on the first page of the pad.

As you can see, I just tied a sheer ribbon into a bow around the notepad. I thought it might be best to keep it simple for a simple gift.

EXPERTS have sent out a warning to Brits buying DIY botox kits online and injecting themselves with the drug.

Injecting the wrinkle smoothing jab can cause paralysis and blindness.

Figures show a rising number of Brits in the recession are using cheaper homekits, costing around £100 rather than spending £250-£300 for surgery treatment.

Buyers learn how to inject themselves using crude injection sheets or by following videos posted online.

Gwen Davies of the Clinic group Transform, based in Manchester said: “Buying botox off the internet is very dangerous, bypassing the procedures which are in place to protect the public.”

In the UK, Botox is a prescription-only drug but can be bought from internet sites, mainly in Russia and the Far East.

Online Pharmacy Escrow is a Canada based drug store also selling Botox online.

Sometimes people take it too far,and botox goes wrong

In time for holiday gift-giving, please feel free to check out my recently published book on natural skincare.  There are lots of fun recipes and tips inside.  Already I have been told that a friend’s daughter is planning to make an occasion of working through some of the recipes!    All of the recipes use ingredients that are easy to find at the grocery store/pharmacy!  And I explain for each one how they work and why.  Not only does this take some of the mystery out of bodycare products but it helps you see that you can easily make your own product, have fun doing it and save a little money in the process!

Please tell your friends and family about this book – it is my first publication and I’m eager to share my knowledge with everyone!  Stay tuned for more both on this website and in print.

In wellness and mindful beauty,

So its about time I had something fun to post, I’ve only been telling you about projects that I’ve been working on,  but nothing to show.  Well this little project was occupying my time in between coats on the armoire ( I know still not finished but after my 3rd 4th coat and still needing more paint) and trips to find baskets to fit in the right places.  But this is something I’ve been eyeing for awhile now, I’m so glad it is finished and I can’t wait to show you how it turned out!!

I was so excited with the results, and outside of drying time was easy peasy.  First, a look at what it began as, a door off of the entertainment repurpose project, cost ($0).

Before the wood filler....

Then I filled the holes in with wood filler (already had $0), sanded it down, and added a coat of primer (already had $0)….

Wood filler had dried, all sanded down, I then added Primer after I took this picture

….and several coats of heirloom white (alread had $0).

I found an “&” that I liked in my font library, blew it up, printed it off, cut it out and then traced it on the center. And then I painted it in a tinted black acrylic.  After everything dried I got my sandpaper out and went to town on the edges, distressing the heck out of it.  Then I pulled out some minwax stain I had left from our floor project and added little discoloration in spots.  I think the thing that made this project such a success was distressing the actual letter and making it look worn too.  I’m just so happy with how it turned out.  If you want to protect this piece, I would suggest putting a coat of poly/sealant to make sure that all the goodness you worked so hard on stays exactly where you want, but it’s certainly not necessary.  Love this piece, and you can’t beat $0.

Here she is! In a temporary home until we get our Ikea Lack shelves hung

Stay tuned for the armoire reveal, I really think I will have it finished soon.  I FINALLY found two baskets that fit, so that will help make this armoire project a reality!  So far I’ve spent a little money on paint, and hardware, totalling about $13 and I only spent $12 on the baskets so I will have a completed piece for only $25, I’m already in love with this piece and I cannot wait to show you all its final look! Have a  great week ( I won’t be posting much with the Holidays)!

I’m linking this to Metamorphosis Monday, so head on over there to check out other great transformations!

A while ago,  I went through a tiny stud earring phase. I bought a bunch of little earrings made of gears and old plastic camera workings. I bought them from etsy and most eventually fell apart. (There just is no lasting glue for binding plastic to metal.) Just recently on NotCouture I spotted these sterling silver watch gear earings by jewelry designer Graciela Fuentes for Tiriana Jewelry. Steampunk? Maybe. Awesome? Yes.

Just for good measure, I checked out what etsy had to offer again. I was a little disappointed. I’m really not a fan of something looking soooo handmade that it’s sloppy, unprofessional and childish. Do you have to add cheap beads to everything? These are the best things I could find.

Of course, you can start digging around online to find gears and have yourself a little DIY fun. 

hier endlich die Video-Playlist des Auftritts im WP8 letzten Juli. Leider lassen sich bei wordpress.com keine Playlist einbetten, so dass ich an dieser Stelle nur auf den Link verweisen kann.

Hier das Intro des Auftritts:

The Denarration Of Now – alexis Live at WP8, Düsseldorf | via YouTube

It’s that time again! Week 2 of the DIY blog party {Kim of NewlyWoodwards fame}.

Thank you for your help with Friday’s poll. 70% of you should be pleased with the direction I chose this week, the remaining 30% . . . well, I compromised. Kinda. {30% of readers seemed like an awful lot to disappoint, so I think you’ll notice a nod to my “Thanksgiving Picnic” theme.}

First, lets recap on Week #2’s mission: Dare to… entertain!

Show us your table! If you are not hosting Thanksgiving, take this opportunity to make your table look great. Bring out your dishes and napkins and set your table. I promise you that it will make you smile every time you walk by. Get creative and use new things. Or go true DIY and make something totally new.

Without further adieu, I bring you {drum roll please…….} DUN duh DUN!!!

HEIRLOOM CHINA

This table was inspired by the china {Rosebud by Spode, I believe}.

Pink & yellow aren’t your usual autumnal colors but why not?

It’s been unseasonably warm here in Jersey, so I envisioned this small dinner or dessert outside in the backyard with a fire roaring nearby.

While I’m not usually a pink person, I think it’s cheery & bright. The texture of the fabric – corduroy keeps it seasonal.

The china originally belonged to my Great Uncle John before he handed it down to me. He past away 11 days ago.

I’m thankful I have these dishes to remind me what a gracious person he was.

The dishes are accented with vintage {some antique} sterling silverware. The intentional use of varied patterns was to keep things from getting overly formal.

Bread plates stayed stacked, waiting to be passed out as needed once the food hit the table.

As did the coffee cups. {Uncle John always drank coffee; every meal, no matter what time. I don’t think I ever remember him drinking water.} Cream & sugar waiting patiently as well.

Vintage pumpkin shaped goblets {from my mom’s stash} await your cold beverage of choice. White wine, perhaps?

The centerpiece ~ a bright yellow metal tree from IKEA ~ is a little wacky and a lot of fun. The cheery color pulls from the yellow in china while the branches hold messages of thankfulness.

Guests would take a leaf, write what they’re thankful for on the back, and then hang it on the tree.

Mismatched chairs in the same dark wood tone finished things off.

Don’t forget to head on over to the NewlyWoodwards and check out everyone else’s tables!

Verbale della riunione del 19 XI 2009

presenti: Alessio, Frederick, Marco.

Punti all’ordine del giorno:
intervista, concorso serigrafo, corsi di editoria, nuovi volantini, nuovi listino prezzi, manuale serigrafico, nuovi materiali per la serigrafia, statuto, conti, brutti caratteri

punti svolti:

1.la riunione ha accolto positivamente la possibilità di rilasciare un’intervista al settimanale “vicenza più”. Ci si troverà, possibilmente tutti e tre, a casa del giornalista, martedì alle 18:00.

2.si lancerà con l’articolo, anche un concorso: “un disegno di disturbo”. Il termine del concorso sarà il 20 XII 2009. L’idea è intesa al fine di creare una “scena” artistica improntata nella collaborazione. Avendo già pronta la prossima maglietta, abbiamo deciso di tenerla da parte, e aprire la possità di produrre una maglietta fatta da un “nuovo” artista. Ci prefiggiamo di raggiungere altri aritisti, senza restrizioni di età, sesso o provenienza, per far creare un’immagine, in “linea”, con le altre tre magliette già prodotte dalla nostra associazione. L’immagine potrà essere una foto, un disegno, o qualsiasi elaborazione bidimensionale, l’importante è che sia originale dell’artista e rilasciata con licenze libere creative commons. Non ci saranno limiti nel numero di opere presentabili, tecniche, o quant’altro. L’immagine dovrà essere inviata entro la data prefissata, via mail al nostro solito indirizzo ( elementodidisturbo@autoproduzioni.net ) o recapitata a mano presso il centro giovanile tecchio di viale san lazzaro 112. il giudizio della commissione, che valuterà tutte le opere, sarà insindacabile. L’opera vincitrice verrà stampata a un colore (come sempre) nella prossima linea di magliette, secondo la consueta tiratura e con il fine di raccogliere fondi per l’associazione.

3.sempre nell’ottica di creare una scena creativa di condivisione, l’associazione organizzerà, grazie anche all’indispensabile collaborazione degli amici di Ruggine, un corso di editoria. Il corso sarà costruito per aumentare le conoscenze di editoria nelle persone e stimolarle nell’autoproduzione, sottinteso che promuoveremo programmi liberi, e tecniche fantasiose. Gli appuntamenti saranno organizzato a partire dal nuovo anno, con una scadenza di un incontro ogni due settimane, per circa due mesi (o il tempo necessario). Il corso sarà gratuito, ma i vari costi di materiali, per la produzione del proprio libro, saranno a carico degli interessati. Attendiamo la risposta del Tecchio per la disponibilità delle stanze.

4.dobbiamo fare dei nuovi volantini, sia per i corsi di serigrafia, sia per il sito di banchettodidisturbo.noblogs.org.

5.a fronte delle richieste di creare un’offerta che vada sempre di più in direzione delle diverse necessità delle persone, abbiamo creato un tariffario per chi ha già sostenuto il corso, o che già sa come fare. Il costo dei corsi rimane sempre di 60€ (tutto incluso comprese 5 magliette). Per chi sa già come fare, e quindi si accolla tutti i costi degli eventuali errori, l’associazione fornirà, per 30€, tutto il materiale necessario (gel fotosensibile q.b., telaio, ritelaiamento, racle, una maglietta, colore q.b.). Se dovesse essere necessaria un’ulteriore sessione di stampe, la serigrafia metterà a disposizione il necessario per 15€ (il telaio già impressionato, racla, una maglietta, colore q.b.).

6.si rilancia l’idea di fare un libretto di come crearsi una serigrafia casalinga. Si propone di puntare a un’edizione curata e possibilmente a colori, per dare una maggiore leggibilità alle foto presenti nel libretto.

7.si è discusso di fare una nuova ordinaizione per le magliette, in modo da rimpinguare l’armadio di magliette che offriamo, alle persone che producono le proprie opere presso di noi. Ordineremo da uomo 20 magliette taglia S e 20 taglia M; da donna 20 magliette taglia S e 20 taglia M. abbiamo deciso di prendere anche 20 felpe (10 taglia M e 10 taglia L). per chi le volesse.

8.lo statuto è quasi finito di essere ribattuto, Ale promette che, per giovedì 26 novembre lo porterà per la rilettura collettiva.

9.ci si metterà in contatto per partecipare a “brutti caratteri 6“.

10. i conti in sospeso tra serigrafi, sono stati finalmente estinti.

Several months ago a friend of mine loaned me her copy of Last-Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts and I made Peanut the Wee Elephant. My boyfriend Steven and I have a rather ridiculous stuffed elephant collection, and this cute little guy fit right in the family. He was pretty easy to make, but the hardest part was hiding my labors from Steven so it would be a surprise.

Last week my friend mentioned that she had never seen the finished elephant, so I had to post pictures just for her

Tomorrow–oh wait, since it’s after midnight, make that today–we’re headed off on a long drive to visit family in the tiny little town of Tubac, Arizona. I don’t know what the internet situation will be, but I imagine it’ll be pretty scarce. Posting will be light, if at all, but I’ll hopefully have plenty to share next week after the trip.

Happy Thanksgiving!

o garsoniera mica si suuuper draguta! culoari pastelate, alb si crem … tapet, mobilier ikea … parca as fi facut-o eu !!! deci, este o garsoniera cu o singura incapere, ce-i drept mai mare … cu stucatura, tocaraie de lemn masiv si inaltimea camerei de peste 3 m. asemenea unei case vechi din bucurestiul nostru.

garsoniera are 47 mp … deci putin … dar defapt mai mult! stiu eu ce zic, si se afla in Göteborg, Suedia …

imi place ca au pastrat podeaua de acelasi tip peste tot … adica o dusumea, iarasi clasica, din lemn natur … chiar daca nu peste tot este la acelas nivel. la fel si caloriferele vechi … sunt de pastrat! cu banii pe care i-ati cheltui pe unul nou, eu zic ca e mai interesant sa il refaceti pe cel vechi!

o imartire simpla si practica … la prima vedere intri in living … iar imediat dupa un perete … este patul!

si ceva ce la noi nu mai gasim: una bucata fereastra suuuper frumoasa! … asa ceva mai greu pe aici

bucataria pare spatioasa … imi plac tonurile de gri folosite si negrul acela puternic al cabinetelor.

si iata si un tapet mai fistichiu! mai chic! … pentru ca merita! … eu sper ca fata care locuieste aici sa fi pus aceasta rochie rosie ca decor permanent! se potriveste perfect.

iar asta este balconul lor !!! la o astfel de imagine afara … si cea de inauntru … daca ar fi casa mea as avea program pe usa cat timp petrec afara si cat inauntru … 50 / 50 % indiferent de anotimp!
