Today the wind outside my front door is so strong I thought it would take Lainee all the way to Naxos soon as I opened the front door.

Luckily, I had her on a lead!

Anyway, thought I’d try something a bit different today.

Having spent yesterday morning cleaning up the outside areas of my little palace, I decided it was time to pay some attention to the inside. (That’s not the something different I mentioned above, though the way things have been going lately, it is rather a new thing for me…).

I finally unpacked my suitcase and sorted the mess off my kitchen table/desk. Basically, I moved most of it to the kitchen counter, but I did actually sort out a few things into a ‘I’ll never use these box’ to get rid of/give away. The idea is that I’ll go through every corner of my house, sorting and tidying as I go. Slowly. Like one day at a time…

I also varnished the two trays I’d finished before going to Athens, so they’re ready to sell if I ever when get some kind of online shop happening.

As I went through some drawers I found these little squares of very stiff cardboard I’d cut up for a project long ago and decided to use them to create tiny paintings that could be grouped together.

They’re okay, though the brilliance of the pink just doesn’t come through… I don’t have that colour in my palette. And flowers really aren’t my thing. Still, they’re sort of fun and cheerful. In a small frame, they’ll probably brighten up someone’s kitchen or hallway.

I think I’ll try something different next. In the fauna category rather the flora one. Or maybe food. I like food…

Now I gotta find a frame to put them in… hm… I’ll have a look online otherwise I’ll have to make something myself. When the weather is better. I’ll get blown away out there right now. Its already knocked over plants I tidied up yesterday.
