Somedays, some things come along that just gladden the heart.........

...........and here is the one for today. Made from Oorkney stained glass, inscribed with a Celtic blessing; I don't know what it says yet, but it's just a perfect work of art. Good old e-bay.........

Friday again.........

Made a print as a present to send off to someone in America as part of a forum swap. One of the lino cut native mushrooms I did at the workshop. Quite pleased with it, now framed, hope it survives the trip across the Atlantic!

Turned into a lovely day - might chance some washing out.

Christmas cards

Unintentionally set about the cards this afternoon! All done now; some traditional folded cards, the rest on postcard style, so can get away with no envelopes. Borrowed punch, already had card in stock, and envelopes, also inkpad and stamp - result - free Christmas cards. Just need to write them now!

Thursday already.........

This week is hurtling past at a rate of knots.............still, getting a lot accomplished. Pouring again here, so not much outside, couple of little jobs. Washing and ironing doen for today, so working on Christmas things. Had some cards already, both from abroad, starting to think about decorations, trees and all that jazz.

Turning of the month....

December now, and we are into winter. Not long until the shortest day, love the solstice. Lovely bright and brisk morning her; washing out, and all livestock happier than eysterday with the teeming rain, cold winds and general misery of the weather. Successful quiz for the village hall, spent eysterday pottering around, bit of Christmas stuff, bit of tidying, nothing exciting. I have a veritable Munro of ironing to catch up with today, though..............
