This weekend, we started settling into our new art studio and bringing it to life, with the help of our maker art friends. Sarah moved boxes with art supplies, Mark helped set up the pegboards, Howard filled them with tools, Natalina decorated the shed, Jean set up an art bench and Phyllis treated us to fresh fruit.
It felt like an old-fashioned community barn raising! I am very lucky to have such a supportive group of friends, and am really grateful for all their hard work and creative touches.
Our new backyard makerspace is a wooden 12’ x 10’ Tuff Shed, made to order, opening into our patio. It will be a great place to make art with friends, prepare for my classes and work on new ‘pataphysical projects.
I’m so happy to finally have an open space to create in, after decades of clutter in my overcrowded office. Can’t wait to start making cool things in it!

Step into the warm, well-worn kitchen of culinary legend Julia Child—just as she left it. This carefully preserved exhibit at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. captures the essence of a life devoted to food, flavor, and fearless experimentation.
More than just a set, this is the actual kitchen from Julia Child’s Cambridge, Massachusetts home, where she filmed three of her PBS television shows. The exhibit preserves over 1,200 original objects including her well-used copper pans, classic blue cabinetry, signature pegboards, and vintage cooking appliances. Every detail offers a window into Julia's exuberant spirit and practical creativity.
The Smithsonian display recreates the room exactly as it stood—down to the table settings and quirky wall art. Knives are lined up on a magnetic strip, pots hang in easy reach, and her famously towering presence is felt in the room’s custom-height counters. The open shelving and functional chaos reflect the working kitchen of a woman who revolutionized how America thought about cooking.
Visitors can peer into this space through glass, as if walking into a moment suspended in time. For fans of food, history, or television, it’s a meaningful pilgrimage spot.
Photographed with care to minimize reflections and glare, these images highlight the museum's immersive preservation work and the enduring legacy of one of America's most beloved cooks.

The right-hand power strip powers the Apple display, printer, etc., and can be shut off to save power. The other strip has the network things I need to stay up.
The empty spot held the Apple display power brick, which unfortunately has to be no more than two feet or so from my laptop due to poor design. A DVI extension cable will fix that.

The large box on the left was my father's, the smaller one I bought on ebay and pressed into service without any restoration.

I took a few photos through the holes of Spirit's temporary pegboard walls so I could see the untouched areas of the building. The bicycle section was in the back, which had a pretty rad sign hung above the door.
Jim organized some of our tools on a pegboard in our new workshop. He used to hate pegboard because the hangers would come off when you removed a tool. But the new hangers come with rubber straps that hold the hangers tight. It makes all the difference. Jim went out and bought more hangers just so he could have more of the straps.
Now that we have started to gather all tools in one place, we need to decide what to do with all the redundant sets of screwdrivers, half a dozen box cutters, 4 hammers, etc., etc.
Our contractor says you can never have too many screwdrivers, but I need to be convinced.
My Dad was so organized ... his tools neatly arranged on pegboard and in tiny numbered drawers that he built. Three large walls of tools, still covered in sawdust though he passed away several years ago.

Another pegboard hole shot. This is where the Babies R Us products were located; this shelve was located to the left.
Caption reads: An eclectic wall arrangement is the center of interest. Appropriately for the kitchen, all the pictures are prints of fruit and vegetables; some follow a traditional style, others are contemporary. By mounting the pictures on pegboard, you can shift them and regroupl them to suit your mood or the occasion. And the pegboard coordinates the counter tops and the yellow floral arrangement. For variety, the wall grouping could include cross-stitch samplers, crewel work pictures, and children's art.
In dramatic contrast to the bright yellow tone is the handsome black and gold refrigerator and black lacquered cabinets trimmed with gold molding and hardware. The intensity of the hue serves to highlight the picture grouping by providing a sharp contrast between the pegboard and the floor.
[And NOT a mention of that lovely barbeque spit and vent hood!!!]

Mmm, I see myself sitting down to a bowl of ground beef and a bowl of spumoni and a tall glass of ice-cold tomato juice: When I think of it, my lips silently form "oeoeoeoeoeoeoeoe" shapes, and drool drips from them.
This pic takes me directly back to all of my old memories of the different old masking tapes I've applied to different surfaces during the long years of my life — and of rediscovering masking tapes that I had long ago forgotten I applied. As masking tapes age, they gradually disintegrate into tiny airborne particles.

To play chess well, you must visualize the board as it is, and how it will look after the moves you are considering, and after your opponents possible responses to those moves, and your response to each of those... So how does a player with no sight "see" the board?
Here, the blind player has a special chessboard, with pieces that fit in pegboard holes on the squares. He touches the pieces and board to examine the position. The opponent plays at a regular board to the side, and sits diagonally opposite -- in this case, to the left of the frame, across from the empty chair that you see here. A regular chess clock faces the board of the sighted player. When either player moves, he presses the clock and announces the move to the opponent, who duplicates it on his own board. The blind player has a device for recording moves, seen here by his left wrist.
This is an excellent chess player, much better than I am, even with my full view of the board. But then, visualization is staged in the mind, and his mind does much better at this than mine does. In a similar way, Beethoven and Dvorak became deaf in their later years, and still composed music that lesser composers with full hearing could never dream of. The human mind is an amazing thing, when used well.
This is part of my chess photoset.
I'd seen pegboards around Apartment Therapy and this was the perfect solution for the small strip of wall. Without it I wouldn't have room for any of this stuff! It surely was a real DIY project involving a trip to Home Depot in Paramus, NJ. We had to put 3/4in strips of wood behind the boards to space it out from the wall so the pegs could fit. The pegboard is great because I can rearrange everything until my heart is content and no extra holes.
My Latest Project that took 12 Large Pegboards and 8000 Beads.I had an over-abundance of translucent beads and decided I would make this pattern so I could use some of them. This took a lot of patience and many hours of carefully placed beads. It turned out great and it fits on my wall perfectly.
I found this great cross stitch pattern on-line at: club-point-de-croix.com/ under a search for Fairies. Yes, its a french site but I used a translator to figure it all out :D

So I had a play with AI generated imaged today. We're here are visiting balancing ducks unite so I gave it some prompts of where to place the duck!
The prompt for this one was "rubber duck balancing on a blue pegboard"
This bookcase is the Billy Bookcase from Ikea and if you space the shelves that come with it evenly, you can easily fit tons of fabric stored this way, as well as books as you see here. I can't take credit for the idea, I got it here: smashedpeasandcarrots.blogspot.com/2010/11/mini-fabric-bo...
You can find the boards on Amazon, just be SURE you get the GOLD size!!! Fold 60" fabrics in a modified "thirds" arrangement, with the third fold being sort of short. Secure bigger bolts with painters tape instead of pins :)
