I finished my DIY Old San Juan kit, and I added some plants. I also made a wall lantern from scratch using cardboard, wire and a toothpick. My hobbies help me escape from the mess this country is in. 🙂

Thanks, Tony. Now the fun part of painting. Part of the model has detailed drawn on 'brick', and I like to paint them like the cobblestone 'blue' color in Old San Juan.

I got a couple of craft projects in the mail today. They will help provide some needed escape during these stressful times.

I started to decorate for the holidays, and I came across this kitchen curtain that belonged to my mother. She used to have it up for the holidays. I recall her kitchen was full of delicious smells made with so much love. It's interesting how a piece of material can bring back lovely memories.
