'Twas a lot of fun (after a long lead-up) June 6, 2013

Combinations, Crinolines and Clotheslines opens at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum on June 6, 2013. Great opening night! Exhibit on until August 3, 2013

They that wash on Monday

Have all week to dry;

They that wash on Tuesday

Are not much awry;

They that wash on Wednesday

Are not so much to blame;

They that wash on Thursday

Wash for shame;

They that wash on Friday

Wash in need;

And they that wash

on Saturday?

Dirty they are indeed.

And so, FYI: My sister and I hung the paintings in my exhibit - Combinations, Crinolines and Clotheslines - and the vintage laundry in the exhibit as well - on a Monday, had a bit more to do on the Tuesday, but we were absolutely done Tuesday night - even the lights were hung by then!
