Finally finished! Now the trick is to get it mounted and framed and displayed. I’m good at making stuff and then I lose the motivation to do anything with it once it’s made. This design came from a photograph that I took of a centerpiece at Spannocchia, near Siena, Italy.

Coffee pot posts are the posts where I write anything that comes to mind until my little coffee pot is empty. Today will be soup day, since I didn’t get around to that yesterday. I will be using the last of my onions and only one last clove of garlic. Why, oh why, did I…

Miss Jazz is hanging out on Sandy’s lap as usual… Theo and I are playing with the camera. I have not changed out of my pajamas or brushed my hair today. I made my bread dough in the bread machine and let it rise, shaped it, and baked it in the oven. I’ll make cauliflower…

Oh dear. I have ended up joining so many fascinating social media groups that my art work remains in my head, an unacceptable situation which I hope to remedy this weekend since it is too frickin cold to work outside and we have no plans. One good thing is that Sandino’s work schedule has changed…
