Day 355 : Christmas Trees

Day 355 : Christmas Trees


Hmmm. The idea was quite good - but this did not go well. The texture of the foil didn't work, the knots for lights too big, the tree stems hard to see - but I like the idea. Might have to try a version in finer threads to see if I can make it work better.

I could have started again and been a bit late posting tonight. But I thought that it might be a good opportunity to talk about the not-so-good creations. It doesn't always work, that's the way it goes. Sometimes you learn that it will never work (so it is probably best to cut off the threads and reuse the mould 😉 ) and sometimes you can treat it as a 'sketch'. Something to inspire you to create again, better, and learning from what didn't work. 

Onwards to Monday!

Day 354 : Chained


So, is cahined a word? Because that's what my fingers kept typing. I very nearly went with it as a title, haha.

Thanks for a lovely show everyone. Thought for sure it would be rotten, we had an issue with the hot water last night - sorted, no problem. Except the timer is set for later than we had to get up today. And after half an hour waiting, it was still really cold as the tank was empty - so yours truly got a quick cold shower in order to be tidy and have clean hair!

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

Day 353 : Square Dance

Day 253 : Square Dance


A doodle button with only a little bit of doodle. I did actually take out doodles before I came up with something I am happy with :) (reading that back it sounds as though i am trying to write a tongue twister!)

Still working away - this evening it will be about making sure that the show samples are all neat and tidy - nothing crushed - and nothing missing! I do usually forget something though. I have boxes to keep related show samples, but some shows have more samples then others, and I try to mix things up by taking different items along. Anne and Chris (and Gillian when she was on the team) make such lovely items using the kits, they do really need to be seen.

And after that - well I will do my nails and find some tinsel to cover the grey that I haven't been able to get sorted!

I hope that you all have a lovely weekend - and do please tune in to the show tomorrow morning on Hochanda!
