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..............

Wet Thursday

I'm alright today - stopped the screaming within from yesterday! Ej has dismantled his bed in readiness for re-decorating his room, and proclaims with delight it looks liek a squat - mattress and sleeping bag on the floor; made me laugh. Clearing out his clothes resulted in a nice pile of t-shirts for cutting up for rag rugs on the peg loom, so I was more than happy with that. Gloomy and wet here at the moment, hoping it will brighten up, but doesn't look like it. Huge amount of knitting to do, so need to get on with it.
Things moving on apace with the Creative Living ideas, so need to get them straightened out and on the go. the year is hurtling towards its end, but looking forward to the returning of the light soon and a blissful Yule. Managing to avoid all the normal Christmas hype and razzmatazz so far, which is good for my soul! Looking forward to printing my own cards this year for the first time too.

Screaming within.............

.........is what I am doing today. This is instead of shouting at people and telling them *exactly* what I think, which really won't do any good at all for anyone. So, here I am, screaming within - again. Life should be easier than this.
