After painting the kitchen






from w
Exhausted after cleaning, painting, shifting furniture, putting it back, chucking out, I didn't want to go and drink kava tonight. Instead I made sketches of objects in my new colourful kitchen with yellow walls, now wanting everything to mix and match - blue lino and tiles, yellow wall, white and brown cupboards and window trim. So far it's neat, but how long will it last?

Now we've started to tidy up the laundry, almost chucking out everything and I had to go and hunt for my shoes which had gone out! Now shoes are on shelves instead of thrown down like a dog's breakfast.

The watercolour pencil pictures are of my favourite mug and a banner I made years ago and found when I started emptying a shelf of the linen cupboard, my pic of two grass trees now on the kitchen wall, daisies from the front garden, a bowl of fruit and sugar bowl, and a Thai wall hanging.
