I rode past it again, on my way to post the tatting shuttle to Acantha, and took a closer look inside...~ not bigger than a breadbox ~
Hi! I'm Casey and I'm an artist. I'm selling some of my work through this here art box. Pay what feels right. Venmo@emotionalcowboy. Everything received through this art box will be donated to mutual aid. Tom Sellek box is available on the front porch for any questions or comments. P.S. I call dibs on being the local potter in the apocalypse!
it is tempting to leave a note for the potter, asking about possible options
Little Wellington is really missing his people this time. Certain noises outside, or if the computer makes the dingdong doorbell sound of a zoom call incoming, he gets excited and dances around near the front door. When we go out for walks, he seems to be less enthused about walking very far, which is also not really how he has been the last few times he stayed here.

Today the second batch of kombucha is ready to be transferred to the fridge, and I scooped out and set aside about half the SCOBY, which has really been filling up the jar. Apparently you can keep extra in what is quaintly called a "SCOBY hotel", as in a second jar for storing older layers of the culture as backup or to share, which seemed like a good idea, so I've set up one of the other quart jars in this way

Getting frustrated with the batik dress. Added in tucks to adjust neckline, and while the neckline is improved now the whole bodice area feels uncomfortably "wrong" somehow. Wondering about just putting it aside, (and maybe piecing fabric remnants or even ordering some additional fabric to attempt a do-over of the whole upper half?) Am measuring various other popover dresses and tops I've made to see how they differ, as this is a new-to-me issue. Grrr....
