I’m running out of old yard sale junk, and will need to buy some real, live stretcher bars soon. But, for now, I have a tacky woodworking project. Not mine, but something I picked up at a flea market. If the writing on the rear panel is to be believed, Pam Wheeling received a B+ for her masterpiece. I feel kind of bad about ruining something someone obviously spent hours creating, but it’s just too dreadful to salvage. It’s screaming out for a new life, I think.
But for now, look at the bones…!

I’m happy that I had the presence of mind to put my drafting table right under a (south facing!) window. Aside from providing the cat with a place to bask, the light there is great for taking photos. Flash ruins most pictures, so I really appreciate not having to use it. On cloudy days, all I have to do is open the blinds. On sunny days, like today, there’s plenty of light even with the blinds closed.
