I really want to share with you a bit of what's been going on in my life because I think it's important, sometimes, to share such things . . . you never know when sharing the nitty gritty in your life will help someone else not feel alone in their own life matters. But, it's hard to write about and I need to be in the right mood. So, know that I will get to that stuff soon and fill in the blanks for my sporadic posting and presence in internet world lately.

Today, I thought I'd share the surface stuff . . . the stuff that we all keep going so that life at least appears to be normal and working. Sometimes its THAT stuff that actually DOES keep us going and normal and working even if it's just camouflaging the real story deep down.

I've been making art. I've been making image kits. I've been collecting new old antique papers and pictures and things. I've been making plans for new projects and new ways to work and design and create. I've been researching (does Pinterest count as research?). I've been helping with a bathroom remodel (which, as we all know any such project . . . ) takes over the whole house in one way or another. That's the surface stuff, the stuff that keeps me going and normal.

The bathroom remodel . . . in progress



If you look very closely in the lower left you can see metal tape closing up a hole left by grout fallen out between the floor and cabinet. The old pipes were so corroded, you could not stick a pencil in the hole the water was coming out. So, we demolished the old lath and plaster to get to the pipes (thank goodness! I was sick of the original 1945 pink!), put in new copper pipes, had a contractor float the wall to plum it up with new lath and mortar and the new tile is being placed as I write this.
