Thanks GOOGLE!

Troy mentioned the other day that I might need to consult a structural engineer to build my clerestory windows. This morning I opened Google to search for help. This is today's photo!



Google is featuring Ludwig Mies Van Derh Rohe to celebrate the 126th anniversary of his birth. The Washington Post has an article about "Mies" also.

While searching I found this architectural design photo of his Farnsworth house.





Did you know that the Brinca Dada Emerson Dollhouse was inspired by Mies designs?



Even LEGO recreated one of his houses!:D



Not only am I inspired, I am now more informed!

This image from Treehugger.com will help me construct my windows!



Hope you enjoy celebrating the wonderful designs of this great modern architect. Happy Birthday Mr. Mies!

Mini Book Covers? I'll let you know!



I may have figured out how to make mini book covers? I Googled and found some images I liked, copied and saved them. Then I opened a new Microsoft Word document and pasted the images there.


In the Word document you can right click on the photo and go to "format photo." Another window will open, and I clicked on "size." There you can resize the image to 1" by 1.5" or whatever you wish. Save the images and then you have small images that you can print.

Ideas and kits found at PaperMinis.com.

I'll let you know if this works? My printer is having issues that need to be addressed...

Hope you have a marvelous mini day!

Blessings,
Kathi
