bird on the nile

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.

fingerprints

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.
