Making things

I spent the evening making things. I bought a plain canvas bag today and decided to paint on it. its turning out pretty cool. I like it anyway. And I found this do-it-yourself computer cozy online so I decided to do-it-myself, but I couldn't find felt big enough, so I had to be a little bit innovative, however it didn't workout so well. I'm going to try to salvage it in the morning, if not, will just make something else out of the felt. Like a little felt board like one of my teachers had in grade school.

Anyway. I had a rather eventful day. Kim and I ate Indian food for lunch it was delicious! I love it! Then we to the Yamato Museum. The famous Japanese warship "Yamato" was built in the Kure shipyards during WWII, so that is our claim to fame. The museum was nice. Very informative. I found out that Kure was completely obliterated by American air raids on Japan during WWII. And I also got to make a little origami spinner like the leaf/seed spinners that fall off the trees. I know you know what I'm talking about, I think I used to call them helicopters...but that doesn't mean anything. It was fun.

Well, I'm going to go to sleep now.
