Sketch for a Painting

This is the sketch for the red boat painting. I’d intended the stars to be the Pleiades, more or less. I thought I might be able to use a stamp to create them, but that didn’t work, so I painted them freehand.

I’ve never sewn a binding on tapes before, so I gave it a try. I’d probably make a few small tweaks next time, but it turned out pretty well.

Laundry Day

Laundry Day

My little baby washing machine is big enough to wash a king size fleece blanket without crowding it.

I haven’t used the laundry room since getting a washer, and I haven’t missed it a bit. On a warm, breezy day, clothes dry almost as fast on the clothesline on my patio as they do in a dryer, and the clothesline is more handy and much more environmentally friendly.
