Daily Notes Number 3791- Cold. Freezing Cold and it's Snowing. Yesterday we had green grass.

 The next cloth I paint will be all circles.  Like this.  this is not mine- click and image will take you back to source.  I have no way to keep the names straight.  This image is to remind me.

My pants from Goodwill are here. Along with daughter's taxes. Which means I need to get ours ready to go.  At least I'm not doing them myself anymore.

I also went into the Attic and dumped a few stragglers into another storage container and brought the empty one downstairs.  My ottoman now has only a basic container of hand sewing supplies and four drawing journals.  Drawing pencils.  I got back and forth between pencil and paper and cloth.  And at times, I draw on cloth with pencil or pen.

I actually want to just go paint on fabric right now and not even finish this post. Start painting.  I have to let the fabric absorb and dry a bit...so the painting part takes a full day or two or three.  It's not a quick thing.  Like a pencil sketch is.  Fabric- time wise- is between the two forms of expression.  Slow to fast.

I also have a project to figure out.  Daughter bought a packaged risotto ready to eat (empty package) and wants me to construct a new one using the ingredient list and make something exactly like it.  Yep. Have any of you out there ever done something like this?????

Eaten a packaged (add water cook and eat) food and then wanted to try and recreate it??? If so...let me know what you did and what you learned and how it turned out.  The packaged rice- was it precooked or not- this is the question.  I am thinking of just making the spice dry stuff package and letting daughter cook rice and then add the seasoning.  Simpler.  Doable???

Well, I'm cold.  It's freezing here in Maine.  Everything is BLINDING WHITE outside.  Husband is taking his nap (he got up early)-  he'll sleep till 4 pm or later.  He does that when he's bored with nothing to do.  Sleeps. Must be nice.  I read.  And I am ambivalent about doing a load of laundry.  The laundry room/bathroom is freezing cold because of the drier vent being open.........
