Sunny, high of 67 and not much wind.
John spent the day rewiring the bus so the car can get some power to the battery when we are towing it. We have to leave the key on to unlock the steering wheel so the wheels turn. The battery is many times dead when we get to our destination. It only took two extra trips to town and all day. I spent the day in my lawn chair in the sun working on baskets. The two larger white ones took 3 hours each. I set a goal to make hour baskets. The one I am holding and the small one I stopped at one hour. The lower photo has them done. The bear one took two hours to finish and I still have some beads to sew on. The little one took 1 hour 45 minutes. So much for my hour. I am working on making some smaller basket that I can sell for less for the art show in March.
Sunset over the dispersed camping. After wiring all day John BBQed chicken for dinner. What a man.
Sunny days, 70’s and no wind. We can hike or bike from the campsite, Or just sit in the lawn chair. It is lovely. Sunset and the night there were no clouds, just sunset colors on the bus.
Once again John cooked, he pointed out tonight that it was 4 nights in a row. John cooking a roast at sunset with the sliver moon above him. And another sunset.
Gem World is this giant wearhouse full of cheap beads. One of the reasons we come here. I didn’t do too bad, only a box of beads for the baskets. The pine needles have finally dried and are now too dry, so I boiled some in glycerin again. These needles are going to be the most handled and processed needles I have ever used.
Sunset tonight was beautiful. These jet trails are really weird looking.
Working on baskets. Learning new techniques. The top one I was working on a new stitch and a new way to put in bead, the lower left I was learning the Frigit stitch and the lower right more new stitch and bead placement. The second photo is the one I am working on now. New spiral stitch and going to do the frigit stitch in all the open windows. There are shells in here. A few I set in resin and a some shell bead I bought.
Still having cool jet trails at sunset. I think we are on the route between LA and Phoenix, but they are high enough that we don’t hear them. Bike riding on desert pavement.
It is so pretty here and I love the saguaros.
Sunset was kind of feathery tonight.
