This
morning, walking the yard, I noticed the gifts that the rain last
week brought, as if the rain itself was not enough of a gift.

exactly a fairy circle, more like a fairy conga line

We
got home early yesterday evening after spending 3 ½ days in the city
getting the glass logo sign for the bank finished. I had ordered the
glass, an oval, before I left for the residency and when we finally
picked it up, it did not fit the art work from which I had made the
pattern. Neither did they return the pattern so I had to make
another one and try again. Only this time, I made two patterns, one
to give the fabricator and one to keep to check the glass against.
We picked it up Monday and it fit so while we had had months to do
the job, we actually ended up with only a week since they wanted
delivery by the end of the month. Installation is set for next week.
I'm
almost done with the full size art work for the other little job we
have, a window between the master bath and the closet. It used to be
an exterior window before they added a huge closet onto the house.
Their
closet is bigger than my bedroom. And it is crammed full of clothes.
She has a floor to ceiling cabinet with just all her purses in it.
She must have 50 purses and an equal number of shoes. Maybe more.
Why do people acquire so many clothes? So they can wear a different
outfit every day of the year? And it's not just her. He has an
enormous amount of clothing as well.

and I could fit all our clothing in 7' of closet space. Winter and
summer combined. And we could probably get rid of some of those.
I
do have a design sketch to do for a new job but the other proposals
aren't moving. There was some movement on two of them earlier but
neither has responded to my reply last week about what they needed to
do to get things moving.
Ah
well. Back to business as usual. But that's OK as I'm ready to get
back to the casting work which I haven't had time to work on for
nearly a year.
i know you're personally enjoying a bit of slow spell, again. but i hope it does not last too long. :)
ReplyDeletewe have a few white rain lilies here. hoping we'll get some more rain this weekend!
Your photos are splendid! LOVE them and feel like running nude through nature now...in answer: I make the felt with raw wool, raw rovings...that is the point actually. Making felt.
ReplyDeleteI don't get the clothing obsession either. We have a 3-door wardrobe that holds everything (except jackets and coats) for me and Dave.
ReplyDeleteAt least she has room to store the clothes properly. The difference between the well off and the rest of us--a lot of things.
ReplyDeleteWow! That closet sounds awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI could use that...ha!
My gathering leans to shoes...love shoes!!
Loved your photos....wonderful

My clothes seem to accumulate & yet I wear the same things over & over. Some things need to be pitched - Mike told me that I was not allowed to wear a particular pair of jeans in public again (you can see my underwear through a hole by the back pocket - & I had just worn them out to do errands on Monday. Oops!).
ReplyDeleteLOVE the mushrooms! And the mini Amaryllis - so pretty.
Amazing blooms again!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures! Wow.
ReplyDeleteA closet like the one you describe sounds horrible to me. I'm oppressed by too much stuff as it is and I own barely anything compared to most Americans. Yikes!
