Happy Monday! You know those mesh bags that contain onions, oranges, avocados, and other delights? They are so mundane that you stop noticing them. Not today. Above is a pattern that I made from this photo from February 3. It reminds me of my Grandpa's beloved 1970s reclining chair.


Dear readers, soon I'll introduce the occasional theme week and I'm pretty excited about sharing more weird and wacky images and ideas. It's winter-- we need weird and wacky!
