#hello ground

Sometimes I do things that are not knitting.

Well I bought this paint.  A nice soft sage-y green but when Wolf saw it, he said it was a little too toward the tan color and didn’t like it.  I had a half gallon that I’d used to paint a wall in Josiah’s room at the rental house - hurt-your-teeth lime green.  So I got a bucket and mixed the lime green with the too-tan-sage green and I said, whatever color this turns out is going on the wall.  

The kitchen has dark green countertops, so I painted the kitchen.  

Pickle Juice Green.

The color grew on me, so I painted the kids’ bathroom.  Then I found a shower curtain at Target that had blue (B’s towels are blue) and wouldja know, Pickle Juice Green (Josiah’s towels are green) in it.  

Then I found a big wooden whale on sale at Hobby Lobby.  And a fish.

As a true die-hard complete-with-the-epic-tattoo-fan of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, I painted “Hello Ground” on the whale.

Then Wolf said I needed the falling Bowl of Petunias.  So today I painted the Bowl of Petunias, and in Old-West tattoo font, it says, “Oh No Not Again.”  

My Hello Ground! design is now up for voting on @qwertee
