Avocado farm update, and look: no toothpicks!

Gitel Abraham OBM

Wanted to see if I could paint the fuzzy top of my pen, I used derwent watercolor pencil (outliner) and Crayola brush paint, going over it with water.

My second portrait of Gitel Abraham OBM, the first was a goofy pastel, this is from my oil painting class.

 So here's the program:

Thank you to the King’s Highway Library and Shelly Strauss for giving a venue for this reading, which is part of a series of theatrical presentations here.

Here's the flyer from the library about the play reading. so many people in the audience that we ran out of programs, but Alan said he will forward one to me via email.

Instant Theatre at the Kings Highway BPL.  Thanks to Alan for asking me to act in two of the pieces.  I met my scene partner for "Two Faced"   right before we opened the program, so it was nice to have improv chops at hand!

Afghan update

Finally!  A whole row without having to rip out 200 stitches!  I did make mistakes along the way but kept close watch on them, so the row ended with the right amount of stitches. Kind of like finishing a piece of music and no notes left over  : )

Avocado farm update and a new project

The avocados are putting out roots and shoots, so far only one tree. I did buy a bag of potting soil but haven't gotten around to potting any one.  that's what happens when you are potty yourself...And here are photos of the afghan that I'm working on.  Any idea why it's called an afghan?  Time for a journey to google...The colors are neither that bright nor that dark, don't know how to get a more accurate view. OK, they are called afghans because they were originally made in Afghanistan.  Yeah, and everywhere else...The geometric motifs were probably originated over there. My guess. Didn't do a whole lot of research...Let me know what you find out.
