It's Coming...

Loi Krathong. It is a really cool holiday, going on this weekend. I don't celebrate it for any of the same reasons that most people here do, but it is so cool to see all the lanterns fill the sky, and the candles on the canals. Hopefully I can get some nice photos this year.

Eliza Crafts

So I have started making some things for Eliza's room. Hopefully we can move into our house soon. Just waiting on bank transfers to pay the deposit. So here is the first I will share. I didn't make the lamp, just recovered the shade. I found two of these lamps at the thrift store while in the states. I actually wanted to do the ribbon horizontally, but DUH, you can only do that with a straight shade, not a tapered one. So I had to do them vertical, but I think it still came out okay.

I Think It Was A Holiday

This morning we heard lots of loud drums and traditional music playing on the street. It turns out there was a huge parade going on and it had something to do with the Lanna traditions (Northern Thailand used to be the Lanna Kingdom). So I snapped a few shots. Everyone was marching up to Doi Suthep the MOST important temple in all of Northern Thailand, and it happens to be just right up the hill from us. Its a long walk and most people were just wearing sandals.
