{26/366 | Texx} Sharp

I finally got my my other babies (my knives) sharpened today. They’ve been abused, unhoned and neglected. I swore I’d never do that to my beautiful Shuns, but I did and now they’re alive again, and they don’t live in the block anymore. I’ve placed the magnetic strip under the cupboard, next to the stove, atop the cutting board – it’s a sweet location and look, if I do say so me-self!  Check out my Kitchen Bokeh ;o) 

BTW…Whilst in the dingy, little Knife Store with tons o’ knives, swords, shields & arrows, Atlas found his “Sword”. Asked me to buy this pretty silver dagger with intricately engraved case, quite a number of times. I finally had to tell him, “Atlas, it’s shiny and sharp; but I will never buy you anything with a swastika on it!”  Uggg, I didn’t notice it until  looked closely, gross. All the big, biker looking dudes in the small shop (who were dotting on Mr. Atlas), looked at me – Big Brown Mama-  in surprise. We were on our way out, but it’s crazy what you see when you look closely. So ugly.

Anywhoo, glad to have me knives revived, just gonna need to find a different shop to sharpen next time.

Howdy! Obsessed with all things photography. Love to teach, and heal through this art. #photogHER2Day Coming to you from Austin, Tx. Above all else (and it's a lot) I'm Mom to Abby & Atlas. Married to my greatest supporter and friend, Curt. Everyday, I choose gratitude over grief.  #MakeTheTime to create for me, so I can be the very best for all those in my life. My "Why": 10 years ago I lost my brother. He was my best friend, my mentor, my compass.  He got sick out of the blue at the 30 years-old and was an inspiration to many. He traveled the world and never had many images to show for it all. I cherish ALL the images we have of Rafael. Blurry or not, I only wish we had more. I capture images of my everyday. Obssessed with capturing moments of my children, of my life and even my businesses. I believe the only thing that seperates a good image from a great image is its ability to tell a story and ultimately make you, the viewer, feel something.

    LOL! If Wade knew how much I spent on our Shuns, I don’t think he would have taken one into the woodshed to slice duraflames to use as firestarters. Yeah, pretty much ruined!

      Just take them to the knife shop in PA…Ahhh Boys, I’ve pretty much built a Fort around my fabric scissors for this reason.
