Dev & I have been very busy since we are leaving the dock for the summer very very soon. We're fixing up the boat, filling it with food, trying to get Oquonie ready for the Playdate Catalogue release... busy busy buzz buzz.
I haven't had much time to work on comics, but still, I am progressing ^^.
We're currently re-varnishing one of the floorboards that is usually under my desk. Gatta watch my footing when I get up XD...
@ritualdust this scene was so damn good.
See Devine's goose news for context: https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/114450402245158562
In Québec, a "mère poule"(mother chicken) is when someone is being overprotective. Overtime I've shortened the expression, distorted it to "murple" (that I've decided is pronounced murr-pole).
"We are such murples." I said to Devine come morning, when we were certain that the baby geese were fine.
The pickling party continues!
We had 2 small jar leftover, went to pick up some purple top turnips and red beets to fill them :>
In Québec, we say "avoir les deux yeux dans l'même trou," to say that we are very tired, it translates to "having the two eyes in the same hole."
I love that expression.
To continue with today's spring sorting, I found this unpublished drawing in a small notebook that I had used to write the daily sailing logs for Busy Doing Nothing. Guess I forgot to include it.
"The Voyeur" is what I called steering the boat from inside with a rope coming inside from between the companionway boards(mittens prop the left side of the door up, so the rope isn't jammed). The other end of the rope was attached to the tiller, than ran through a block. Pulling on the rope would adjust our heading ever so slightly to keep on course(we could see the compass from the opening).
We had lost our dodger, so this was a good way to stay protected from the cold and the rain. (Evidently, we stuck our heads out every 15 or so minutes to check for traffic.)
I sorted through a bunch of currencies that Dev & I have accumulated throughout the years.
It is cool to see the weight, diameter and design difference of each one :). I love how big the French Polynesian Francs are!
(Not pictured is a shit ton of Japanese coins. We're stuck with like 75x1¥ coins >_<)
Added the project to the hand-sewing on my website:
