kitchen views, no food

more views of the kitchen window sill

There has been knitting a-happening.
i'm working with the lovely cushy wool & cashmere
yarn. it's so nice and bouncy.
No photos yet, but i must make some.

here and there

"The overemphasis of drugs
is a knee-jerk
reaction that's thrown our
whole concept of happiness out of whack.
Happiness is now seen as a lack of suffering
as opposed to accomplishing
important societal goals, like creating art."

Thomas Svolos

Greetings, from the kitchen

View of my
kitchen window.
The egg cup is happy
for the company, i'm sure.

lately ....

i've started reading the
New york times newspaper.
The sunday
paper is the fun, fat one for the week.
never read the NY Times until this spring.


and lately i've been looking at the
really pretty orchid.
i never would have bought this for myself
and i'm so enjoying it for
its colour and ... well, it's "fanciness".

Thanks again to Dorothy and George.

seeing inside cupboards

i think that
a lot of people like seeing
what sits inside people's cupboards.
I don't mean the chaos of a
clothes-closet, but the
planned out assortments
that people keep.
I have a collection of hand made
mugs. I love the variety - and that
every one is a "single", not a set.

tell me ...

"Every master knows
that the material teaches the artist." (Ilya Ehrenberg)

Significance

"The aim of art
is to represent not the outward appearance of things,
but their inward significance,
and this, and not the external manner
and detail, is true reality."

(Aristotle)
