Saturday, November 30th. Sunshine and 35 degrees

 Someone wanted to "see" my work....well, this is an old piece I found in the subterranean picture file.  I don't think I own it anymore...a gift to someone...ten by ten inches.  I sort of wish I still owned it. I think I still have a scrap of the pink flower material- I painted the flowers on white cotton then cut out shapes added the yellow stars. The leaves were cut from another piece of painted fabric.

I decided I had white cotton on a bolt (still do), a closet full of paints and brushes...why not make my own fabric.  I set the wet white washed fabric on a large restaurant sized sheet pan... painted with water based cheap bottles of paint and let it dry on the pan. Added details with a black Sharpie pen.  I will admit to mixing paint to make my own colors.   I did study art in college...I can mix colors.

I think I mentioned son got my TV working again...like a miracle. BUT, it's after Thanksgiving and tons of crap on the tv...so I had to sort thru a large box of paper and magazines to keep myself occupied.  Most of it is now in the recycling box on the porch.  Still, I got something done.

I am resting after having breakfast, reading the newspaper and attempting to Swiffer Damp Mop my wood floors BEFORE eating breakfast.  My floors are filthy. But doing that before breakfast---huge mistake.

I also rotated the flowers on the low table in front of the low window... sunshine equality. The glass vase full of pebbles and paper whites needed more water and the Amaryllis needed water also.  

Out the front window the birds are having seeds and swinging on the bamboo perch we set up for them.

I think Son and I are making OUR Thanksgiving meal this afternoon...so we have leftovers for a few days.

I don't have much else to write.  My intensions for the day are more Swiffering of floors...a load of wash...and hopefully my blood pressure gets high enough for a shower.  So NOT interested in fainting in the shower.
