We spent a week on Ile D’Aix, a French island near La Rochelle. I had sewing projects to do, and Red had painting projects. Plus catching oysters and beach combing.

We fell in love with La Rochelle during our Workaway Gig. Our volunteer assignment was varied and interesting, and even off-season, this town is open for exploration.

Our Mandala bedroom wall mural, a joint effort that took a couple of weeks to complete but well worth the effort.

We used to have two of the ugliest couches. But my trusty sewing machine came to the rescue, and I re-covered both of them with fabric from Michael Levine’s in LA’s garment district.
