My goodness but a lot of work goes into those flutes! I've seen similar pages for other instruments. It makes you wonder how anyone can sell these once they're finished, they're so beautiful, but also, the wage these folks pay themselves is low when you look at the time that goes into these. As with Alice's paintings - it isn't the easiest way to make a living by any means. etsy certainly has high quality photos on the site. It is very appealing visually.

I got some exercise finally. I mowed the back yard this evening, got as much of it as had grass growing (so I mowed about 3/4 of the total area, which is still about 1/4 acre).

Tried steaming broccoli in the new rice maker. I'll use about 1/2 of the water they suggest. I stopped it when there was still plenty of water but the broccoli was already plenty tender.

eBay this evening. I have to work on my photos and description, then figure out how much this will weigh. I don't think I have a priority box that will fit it, but that actually gives me more shipping options. The post office will only let you ship priority rate in a priority box (even if you turned it inside out!)
