Twitch Uke Paint Job (Crehore)

I took this photo with my ipad in my new studio. I think the paint job is now complete
on my Tickler #3 Twitch Concert Uke. It is time to hand it back over to the luthier for the final touches. There is a green and black inlay at the bottom. I'll take some better photos later on.

Some New Views


Some new views: top photo is looking out into my backyard from a window in the house (neat 15 ft. Alice in Wonderland hedge). Bottom photo: a photo of the golf course up the hill from my new house. It has a nice view of the big butte. I can see the coast range in the distance up there as well. I'm looking forward to taking many new hikes!

A Halloween Cat in a Pot

photo credit: Amy Crehore
I took this photo many years ago at my old house. I can't be sure if this is my current cat or another dear cat that I had for only a few months. My cat has really round eyes and this cat's eyes are a bit slanted, so I think it is possibly the other cat (who got hit by a car). Very similar markings.
The big green flower pot was left behind at the old place during my recent move.
I probably gave away half my stuff during the move.
I am now at a new location about a mile from my old house.
It is just a question now of unpacking boxes and getting my studio back in shape to work again.
More soon....

What am I up to?

I'm busy sorting and packing for a move this month. That is why my art projects (the new uke and paintings) are temporarily on hold and my blog posts are less frequent. I found this old passport photo of me taken upon graduating college. I was off to England to live for a while. Ah, memories.
