PROGRESS ON DENVER QUILT







Over 240 blocks made all with an inset seam and there's still fabric left!

DINNER OUT



With nothing in the kitchen, we started discussing our options.  I suggested Mike's BBQ, or Proletariat Pizza which is just down the street from Mike's.  He agreed to Mike's BBQ, saying he's pizza-ed-out.  So, off we went to Mike's. 
After parking a half a block away and walking up to it, we see the lights are out and there's a sign reading, "Closed for Repairs".  Dang.
So, we went for the pizza, a little ways further up the block (my favorite anyway).
While waiting for the pizza, he checks his Facebook - Mike's BBQ just posted that they were open and a warm place to stop into for dinner.  Ha!  Darrell commented back, "We stopped by to warm up, but you were closed.  Brrrr."
The clincher - as we walked back to the car, Mike's lights were back on and there were people inside.
I guess it was my night for pizza.

DAY OFF!

We played hooky today and went to SAM to see the Picasso Show before it leaves town. 
Picasso - Portrait of Dora Maar - 1937

 Then we went out to lunch...




then, a little shopping before we came back home and I went up to the studio to play with the leftover pattern I used for my last project, Winter Stand, and messed around with collage (which I hardly ever do)!

NEW SKETCH BOOK BEGINS



I got a new sketchbook (because I mailed the other one back to Art Co-op House).  And I indulged in a new setup for my watercolors.  A really cool box from Daniel Smith.  Love it!  It comes with empty pans and you put your own colors in it.
