I've spent the day making lots more mess

Some progress, lesson's learned in silk banner making. The banners aren't horrid, but they are nowhere near good. I now know what that the blue I ordered is wrong, like the green, red and yellow. Must not buy clear gutta, like gold gutta and need to use black gutta more. Also, put some dye in a bowl, rather than using the bottle. Spilt 2/3 of the blue, swore at my stoopid, but had enough to do what was needed. Foam brushes are the best for large areas. Mask off areas that will be white when you are doing other sections if you can.

I've a lot to do  before and after work Wednesday.

Here's a pic of me enjoying lunch on my deck. Glass wall is new from last fall. Wonderful how it allows the full beauty of the river to show.



Dear brother saved the day with my car A/C. The first winter I had the car, mice moved in. I knew this because they chewed a hole in the windshield wiper spray tubing. That was 2008 - I think. Today, brother pulled out a filter I didn't know was there - cabin filter. It had two handfuls of car insulation that had been used by the mice to make a home. It's a wonder I had any A/C at all.

Back hurts and I need someone to make me some food. I can't figure out what I want.

sca, real life, home, car, crafts, brother is awesome
