Sunday project

The house needs cleaning--there's dust everywhere from the new drywall that the guys have put up downstairs. They've ripped out and replaced the rotten drywall in the downstairs kitchen. It's now a mini-kitchen with a sink, a kettle, a small microwave, a small 'fridge and a few cabinets. Replaced dangling lamps with four recessed lights. I'll be able to paint it all when they've finished and it will actually become usable. Vistors welcome!

This weekend though I'm ignoring the housework unless I suddenly feel inspired to grab the vacuum cleaner. Have started a mosaic. It's big--can't be bothered working with little tiddly bits-and-pieces--and it's mostly made with sea glass (I cheated and bought it, there's not much washes up round here, not like that beach in Fort Bragg in northern California, entire beach of sea glass).

Don't know if this will work. Have an ingenious method for applying thin-set mortar but won't brag about it until I know that the pieces don't all fall off...
