my new pepper mill

I needed a pepper mill. I have peppercorns and no pepper. No ground pepper… So instead of buying ground pepper I thought it would be better to buy a pepper mill and use the peppercorns.

So I went looking. There were tons to choose from… but in the end I decided to try to personalise a simple wooden one I found in a local shop.

I gave it a quick light sand and began with a bit of leftover creamy white chalk paint. Then I painted circles in a stylized greek ‘evil eye’ design and finished off with some dots. Cause, why not.

Its random in its design but I think its unique and I’m happy with it.

Just one small bit of creativity finished quickly one afternoon. I’m ready to cook now.

The last of the little squares… and on to other things tomorrow. I wonder what they will be…

I decided to do eyes again today, knowing my cousin will likely want them for her studio apartments. I mean, why not?

Sorry about the photos. Most of the time I’m working late in the afternoon and taking photos on the stove with under-cabinet lighting, hence the reflections. Not ideal photography conditions.

I’ll try to do better.

I was a busy beaver today – firstly I had a grumpy, bitey dog to groom and managed to do it without an anesthetic (which apparently the vet they took her to last time they had her done did…). Not sure if its good or bad that I’ve got a reputation of being able to handle naughty dogs…*

(*a topic for another day)

Then I visited a friend and we made a carrot cake together. Yum.

I re-did the rock I’d painted and dropped and smeared. Nothing too exciting. Another stylized eye. I have no photo of that yet.

I also started framing. I started with two bought frames to see how they would go. I’ll photograph those tomorrow in better light.

Now it’s time to get ready for quiz night, so I’m off again.

No rest for the wicked. Or even the slightly naughty.
