The Carolina

I’ve been on fire all day, not sure why. Maybe because I had chocolate cake (really good chocolate cake) for breakfast or because I had no wisdom tooth (which has been a big distraction and bother lately) pain at all today or that I got a lovely package in the mail or all those things combined with what a perfect September day it was – for whatever reason I had an exceptional day. The package was from Lisa ( her fabric give-away) and I love it. It’s all great. I’m going to build a ship around the flowered piece on the left. Thanks very much Lisa, it’s perfect.

And I did finally finish my ship, The Carolina.

Because I am a banana here’s a grainy little movie of it in action. Not much happens it just spins around.

My friend, and until very recently neighbor, Craig up and moved to Egypt (for the next 9 months anyways) last week. I’m pleased to see that he took his little plaid friend ian with him. His priorities are obviously in order. This is ian on Zamalek Island on the Nile looking across to Cairo.

There will be a new ship tomorow, there should have been one today but I was a little bit of a slacker for no good reason. Here’s a little sail preview.

A little while ago I was in Cherry Valley Massachusetts, where I grew up, sorting through the mountain of childhood stuff that’s stored in my brothers attic. I found some things that I made as a kid, including this red ceramic thing

and some old craft magazines from the seventies. This is from McCall’s Needlework and Crafts 1973.

There’s some good stuff and some funny stuff in the magazines and I’ll post more soon.
