The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you...
Finally, the doors are open and the weather is wonderful. The birds are all chirpy and chasing each other around. They are definitely liking the warmer weather. Sunday, I pruned the rest of the roses and filled a 5 gallon bucket with pecans from the yard. I could probably fill another one. Enough with the pecans already!
Finally, we seem to have it down. Two of the three panels for this job are done and done well. I am cutting the fiber paper for the last panel (which is really the first panel) to set up on Wednesday. Again. Dare I hope that this will be the last?
Later this week, I think I will finally be doing the grinding and cold work on the boxes. I'm anxious to get them assembled though I still have a few parts to cast.
In the meantime my world is filled with fiber paper and wax.
Last night we had a beautiful sunset and, finally, a temperate night so we sat out on the old truck bench seat that we hauled out under one of the pecans after we determined where the best sunset watching spot was and with our margaritas with pink sea salt on the rim we watched the glory til it got dark.
And, finally, here's a little video of Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Dhani Harrison (George's son), and Prince just because it got me going this morning before I had my coffee.
Oops. One other thing. For those of my reader's who live in the Ohio area, the Texas Chair Project in which I have a piece (see photo of my chair on my side bar) is on display at the Ohio Craft Museum in Columbus OH through March 27.
Such a nice way to end a day.. watching a sunset .. sipping on a potable concoction. Congrats on having you chair on display in the museum. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteOoh - I'm just an hour away - I have NO excuse not to go :) I'll have to confer with Dr. M about the best time...
ReplyDeleteWe used to keep the one of the bench seats from our minivan in the bedroom - but I like your use of the extra seat MUCH better. Lovely sunset...
Two things - I must have pink sea salt on my next margie, and congrats on the chair display!
ReplyDeleteLove the video, that's some great music going on there, and what an ensemble. My daughter just bought an ELO cd, so we've been listening to Jeff Lynne the past few days.
ReplyDeleteI left Missouri's mild weather behind and headed north to help cram little feet into snowboots ... maybe tequila would help?
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post and the video. Thank you! Glad it is warm again. I could go for a bucket of those pecans. Maybe I will try planting a pecan tree this spring.
ReplyDeleteRitas with pink sea salt. I love that image! We actually hit the 50 degree mark here yesterday, which made me want to celebrate, but it's back to cold today.
ReplyDeleteAfter that one warmer day and reading your post, I can now say that I'm ready for spring.
Your post is loaded with goodness! Pecans, truck bench under the tree at glorious sunset- chair art- glass wonderment- The video - GREAT FUGGIN FIND! Thanks you!
ReplyDeleteI need some of that pink salt as well. Me...I had a Mojito and watched the sunset. Beautiful!!

ReplyDeleteI am glad you are having a busy and productive time and that you are getting the recognition that you deserve.
I'll join you in that sunset-watching drink.
Cheers
Beautiful skies, stunning art, pecans galore, sharing a drink and music...can't get much better than this!

Thanks for letting me know that there is an Ohio Craft Museum. I've been to Columbus many times and never knew of such a thing. Must let my two Ohio sisters know. I'll have them look for your piece.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that bench.
ReplyDeletePoor you, too many pecans.
Yay spring! I'm ready.
Is this a Traveling Wilburys song?
The video clip was splendid! Great way to start the day. I love your photos~ particularly the truck seat under the pecan tree!
ReplyDeleteFabulous to have your chair displayed! Very proud!

ReplyDeleteGod bless ya sweetie and have a glorious day!!! :o)
Hey, your chair is in my neck of the woods! I've got to go pay it a visit.
ReplyDeleteThe electric guitar is my favorite instrument, which is a bit ironic since Baroque is my favorite style of music.
ReplyDeleteSpring has definitely sprung! At last.
ReplyDeleteToday I have the windows open and I'm NOT SHIVERING. Woooo hoooo!!
I don't have much to say, I only go "Woow" at every photo of the things you make. Great!
