Daily Notes- March 3rd

                                       

Saw this on a design page and am thinking if everything else in the house is white --that my kitchen cabinets have to be slate grey or charcoal grey.  The uppers white, I think- to not call attention to themselves.  The floor will be black ceramic slate from Italy.  Not wood.  Not again.

Coffee date with my former co-worker from library.  We had a good chat.  Then to the grocery store.  She was looking for lentils.  I was hoping to find oatmeal.  And I did. Friend had to drive to another store to find lentils.  She emailed that she had gotten me a box of oatmeal just in case (at the other store).  That was a very kind gesture.

G figured out the hinges on the cabinet doors.  They were made to go on the outside and he was trying to screw them into the inside (like the originals which had been inside).  I like the detail of the black hinges showing against all the white. Like small black buttons on a white shirt.

I took a break from vacuuming the floors.  That Central Vac Hose really really annoys me.  Always kinking up.  I have the hallway and bedroom to do and then I will......done.  And the two bathrooms.

I took a few of the cloth collages I have been making to show my friend.  We talked about the colors on one of them- that they aren't working.  So, some unseeing.  Well, that, too. .... but Un-sewing.
I was trying to "make do" with the handful of cloth I had scooped out of the scrap basket.  Some of it didn't play well with any of the others.  And it's a color I really don't like.

Friend thought the "grape" blue scrap was part of a French Blue Linen shirt I wear in the summer- no sleeves.  I laughed- no it was grape juice eco colored. Gives me an idea to soak one of the plain white shirts in grape juice this Summer if we get grapes again.  Wear the lovely Blue.
