I thought I’d upload a few pictures of some of the things I do to keep myself sane. (Apparently, I’m not doing enough.)

I’ve always loved old things. My parents don’t much like antiques, but I’m drawn to them and I’m not even sure why. Lately, I’ve been having fun putting together some boards I found in our garage with some pictures from old National Geographic magazines someone tossed in the recycle bin.  I made the frames from leftover furring strips, the tree from spackling. Garbage art? Still garbage?

It’s funny how therapeutic working on these pictures has been. I get lost when I’m futzing around with them. It’s a wonderful, mindless, thoughtless lull. I get like that when I refinish furniture, sometimes when I work in the yard.
