A bit of a cool breeze on WOYWW.

It seems that I can't escape bottoms

at the moment.

Two weeks ago 

it was my friend Angies

bottom on show

but this week it is my bottom on show

(sorry, no pictures available).

People who know me well

will know that I don't have many clothes,

this is by choice.

In my working days I had to wear a suit

and dress up all the time and

now that I have retired I just have

one pair of 3/4 pants for home

and 1 pair for going out

and yes I do wash them, I just do it strategically.

Sorry I digress,

this morning whilst cleaning out and feeding my chickens

I noticed that it was a little more

breezy than usual in the bottom area.

When I got inside I had a look in the mirror and spotted the problem straight away.

I had a dirty great tear in my pants, so big in fact

that my butt cheek was on full view

(the extra bits that stick out from my knickers anyway)

and this presented a huge problem for me, as I don't like to sew

(see this post for details of my sewing prowess).

Now a staple usually goes a long way in this situation

but of course you can see my problem if I go putting staples into 

the part of my pants that I sit on.

Frantic calls to my mother and she told me about an iron on patch

thingy that will seal the hole and save my dignity.

I will have to get out and buy one of these patches, 

just hope I remember to take my pants off before ironing it on!!

To my desk.... and  if you wish to see others around the world 

go here to the Stamping Ground for WOYWW.

 My lovely friend Angie has returned to England

and so today I sat and finished my ginger flower.

I have a confession to make,

I have been showing you my neat corner of the room and never

showing you the other side, so,

today I will reveal my mess in all its glory.

Here is the real me (sorry Tracey).

And there is still another wall

but I don't want to overload your eyes.

There are cupboards of oil and acrylic paints, plus glass paints,

all sorts of pads of drawing paper, tins of lacquer, boxes of prints,

folders full of my ideas (you now the ones, you will try it one day),

and goodness knows what else in there.

Of course I keep telling my husband that there

wouldn't be any mess if he let me take over the front lounge.

Can't understand why he won't believe me.

To finish off on a better note

here is the ginger.

After seeing it here, 

I need to tweak the bottome leaves

but it is pretty much finished.

Next week I hope to have done some 

actual art for once,

fingers crossed.
