We moved. We were settled, everything was fine; and then it wasn't. Closets needed overhauling. One thing led to another and I spent two weeks engineering pillows. I say engineering because its been so long since I put in a zipper or cording that it was like school without a teacher. Mistake after mistake! Don't worry, it all came back.
The antique couch looks good, I reused material that I already had; former Ralph Lauren duvet cover, it was always was too heavy, but it makes a wonderful soft pillow cover! A Shabby chic shower curtain (passe' according to my daughter), but I think it turned out nice. Yes I bought some new material in a soft yellow polyester with stripes. I like stripes! It must be something about lining things up. How does this relate to painting? Well, I think I will make a sketch of the couch this week and you can compare it to the one I did a couple of years ago.
And, I have a couple of sketches done recently from our Christmas party at Barb's.
And an old truck in the late afternoon sun.
