Electrical work, please

 Here's what is under my kitchen sink: A switch that runs the disposal and an outlet box that is only live when the disposal is running, which is not helpful.


 Our big island has no outlet that I can use to run an appliance. I would like to have an outlet right in front of the sink, if possible. I can easily fit my hand under the face board, between the sink and the back of that face board. If that is not doable I would gladly settle for an outlet SOMEWHERE on the island.

For Allison

 The Gift of Rain
Hand dyed cottons, silk, and commercial stripe. Fused, machine quilted and mounted on painted wood panel. 12x16".
 I used some of my special edition fabrics in this piece and love the wet landscape feel of the colors. It has been raining for days here and that is so much better than snow! My tulips are up. Just waiting for a bit of sun.

Harold and Mel

Harold Krisel
 I've interspersed my four pieces with Harold's paintings. Only one of mine is quilted, but OOOOO is this fun. Of course he did all the discovery, the refinement, the concept, and the color choices.
One of the things I have tried to incorporate is the low contrast of two related colors. Hard to see, but still it's still there.
