Tackling The "To Do" List

Monday, in addition to laundry, I tackled a minor task that's been on my to do list for a while: shortening my paint brushes. I like to be close to my acrylic paintings, and the long brushes keep bumping my shoulder. Using a short brush I like as a guide, and trying to keep important writing on the brush, I lopped off the ends:

Much better! (Hmmm... I wonder if there's anything useful to be done with paint brush ends?)

Of course, now my brush case is a bit taller than it needs to be:


It's also coming apart a bit:

I fixed that first:

(I feel like I should have brought it to the spinning and *weaving* retreat!)

Much better!

After that much, I decided to leave the shortening to another day.
