Object #2: Krewe of Orpheus Poster (1994)

Object #2: Krewe of Orpheus Poster (1994)

Location: Dining Room

Number: 1

Provenance: Wedding Gift 2008 from MGO's older brother and his family.

My husband's family gives the best gifts and this was no exception. I can't remember exactly when we got it during 2008, but I do remember walking into my FIL's living room and hearing my BIL tell my husband he thought we would love this.

I mean, how can a South Louisiana boy and a girl who considers South Louisiana home not love a poster from the first year that the Krewe of Orpheus rolled.

Not only does it detail all the floats that rolled during the inaugural parade...



But it also has this...



This may be one of the coolest wedding presents ever.

Object 1: Mathematical Modeling by Mark M. Meerschaert

Object #1: Mathematical Modeling, 2nd edition by Mark M. Meerschaert (1999)

Location: Husband's Office

Number: January 2001 - 2 copies. Today - 1 copy.

Provenance: Purchased January 2001.

Required text for Dr. Charles Delzell's section of MATH 4024 Mathematical Models in Spring 2001 at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

During the early weeks of the semester, a graduate student (me) passed a note to the random undergraduate student who sat in front of her and had killer eyes.

Fast forward to 2011, I am happily married to that undergraduate student who is now working on his Ph.D. in Computer Science. The text from that fateful class is kept with all the other texts we own on engineering, computer science, physics, statistics, mathematics, and finance. The only hint that this book may be something more --are the notes tucked in between the pages.

WIP Wednesday: The March Edition

It's been a bit since I was able to link up with Freshly Pieced's WIP Wednesday but I'm back with the March Edition.

The end is in sight. I have five more rows to finish before doing the edging and I have a production starting next week; which means lots of lots of time sitting around and waiting. And crocheting.





And quilting.

Speaking of quilting, I started quilting on this baby next week.



And I got this one basted.



And I bought the thread for this one.



And this one has the back made, and the thread bought. I just need to baste this baby. Granted, it's number four on my to-do list at the moment, so it may be a bit.



Last but not least, I have been inspired by Emma at The Marion House Book with her 52 object project. Over the course of the rest of this year, I'm going to be blogging about 52 objects in my house that tell you a little more about me.

Here is a teaser for the first object coming up --



It's on this bookshelf.
