Thrift shop finds and upcycing--so far I don't go very far--just village yard sale--

But still I've found beautiful embroidered Chinese tablecloths, lots of other tablecloths, new cookware for baking, a nice hand-painted blue and white milkjug that I didn't buy in Amsterdam.

Other items were given me by friends or I gave some items away--

I always buy "once loved" books.

I upcycled almost all my beautiful batik and Burmese woven sarongs and Thai cottons.

I don't do too much sewing now.

I'm still working on the needlepoint yarn and cotton mesh I received from an anonymous donor through Fiber Group and Village Center.

Right now I am mostly writing and painting, but there's never enough time.

Chair covered with in process crafts. Paintings on wall all by me.
