but it is slowly getting stronger, becoming more itself.
So I thought a little catching up might be in order. First, there's the matter of a breezeway newcomer crafted by Don ...
using old ceiling fan blades ...
and a repurposed wooden organ pipe ...
I must say, though, my favorite part is the woodburned and milk-painted eye ...
While taking pictures, I noticed a visitor in the Herb Garden ...
And if any of you were wondering where I've been, we had grandkids visiting last week ...
One of their projects was repainting some rusted metal airplanes (from a lawn ornament) and a Kokopelli lamp stand (which are not going to remain together except for this photo) ...
Their efforts, supervised by Pop Pop, are worthy of close-ups ...
Of course, as I took these shots, my eye once again caught on something else: this time a metalwork roadrunner we gifted to each other that has found a home beside Don's pueblo assemblage ...
Lastly, a lovely gift appeared in the mail from Sue (Blessings of Thread) which my muddle stitching finger will appreciate (pun intended) ...
Sue had also gifted me with a delightful bag when she was last in Texas. It has since been made into a much-needed ukulele case ...
I do love repurposing!
