| We bought six pillows from a street vendor when we were stalled in traffic. We had been looking for one for some time. he carried them tied together on his head and another bundle in his hand. Sue recovered them with fabric she bought a few weeks ago and put them on our couches. |

| I was able to design and build a butterfly net from the top of a mosquito net, the wire hoop from the same thing, a coat hanger, some hose clamps, a couple of plastic zip ties, and a collapsible mop handle I found at the grocery store. Sue performed her magic with the sewing machine, and voila. I actually caught some butterflies with it and it works well. |

| Bedspread in the guest room sewn from fabric Sue bought at the fabric marche. |
 |
| Bedspread in our bedroom. We see this fabric every day on men and women, dresses and shirts. Seems we have the same taste as many Congolese. |
 |
| The finished re-covered pillows. |
 |
| Butterflies, moth, and beetles I plan to make into a framed wall display. I have a few more from our trip to Zongo Falls. |
