Maria is a very happy artist today. She finally got herself a custom-made work table to replace the rickety old thing she was using (second hand junk.)

She asked our carpenter/handyman Ray Telford to make one for her and she gave him the details and measurements.

This is a very  big deal for her, much like my getting a new computer to write. She’s never had the worktable she needed and wanted – Maria doesn’t think she deserves anything special – but she was as excited and pleased as I’ve seen her.

This is big news on our farm, and yesterday, her blog re-design went up live.  And she put up a Vulva Board On Pinterest. She feels very strongly about  Vulvas and is not quitting or backing down.

Moving forward. An important week for her and her work. Ray did a great job building the table for her in one night (the top is covered in canvas) and charged $108 dollars.

Ray is a treasure and a great find. He is also a very nice man. His friends call him “Pumpkin.” He said I could call him Pumpkin, too.

The cheapest possible appropriate work tables we were looking at online cost $249.

I admire Maria’s energy and enthusiasm, both are very genuine. I know what this worktable will mean to her, and her art will greatly benefit from it.
