You might have noticed that I wasn't around yesterday. I have a really good excuse though. My daughters eardrum burst and her sister was sick as well. We spent the morning at the doctors office and I spent the rest of the day playing nursemaid to the two of them. There was a lot of napping, but while they were awake, there was crying and clinging and I guess blogging really didn't seem important.
As the evening arrived, they did seem a bit better and I received an email from flickr. My tatted mask had won a third place in the diy/instructables Halloween contest in the costume category. I had entered simply by adding a photo to their flickr pool and I almost forgot about it, assuming of course that I had no chance up against some of the amazing creation featured there. In the message I received, it was suggested that I also upload a slideshow to the site which required no step by step instruction, so I went ahead and did so again assuming it would be lost among the other more interesting thing on the site. Moments later I received a message saying that the slideshow was featured on the front page of Instructables. I've no idea how it will be there, so run now and take a look.
It has been pointed out that there are no instructions, so why is it featured? I've no idea, they thought it was cool enough I guess. I will tell you though, the interface to make the slideshow was super easy and I just might have to try my hand at listing some patterns there in the future. So a bad day ended on a high note and the tatted mask has again asserted itself as my claim to fame. I still laugh that it started out as a custom request from someone who changed their mind. I guess the moral of the story is, if someone challenges you to make something unexpected, take the challenge, you never know where it might take you!
That's so awesome! Congratulations! I just checked, and you're the top link on the front page. Sweet!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I hope your daughter will be okay, and her hearing won't be damaged.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the win though!
Congratulations! Your tatted masks are so beautiful and unique.
ReplyDeleteI hope your daughter is feeling better soon. Poor kiddo.
I hope the kids feel better soon. I had the flu for Thanksgiving but luckily the baby didn't get it. When my daughter was a baby she had the Rotovirus and looked so helpless. I hate the feeling of not being able to do anything for them.
