Day 358 : Christmas Star

 

Day 358 : Christmas Star

Yes, I am much happier with this one. Quite different than the first - and second - version!

The second I worked last night. It is actually quite pretty, but quite ordinary really and looked rather like any Victorian button, so it is sitting on my table.

This one though - much better. I could have worked it the other way around, so the trees pointed outwards which would have made it more similar to the previous version, but it is much tidier this way.

So, a busy day trying to get my home decent. I know that no one is visiting, but it still looks nice enough - except for the table in my workroom. I didn't quite finish that room. My job for the morning. 

Day 357 : Great Conjunction

 

Day 357 : Great Conjunction

Yes, really, this should have been the button for yesterday. But, as always happens when something terrific goes on in the night sky - it is cloudy! So, I have had to enjoy pictures from other parts of the world marking this event. And, if the skies clear, I may still see something - after all, they aren't going to be too far apart too soon I'm sure!

We've worked at record speed and all of the orders are out. Tired is an understatement. We should really have still been packing tomorrow. Very pleased with ourselves though! I hope you have all had s good day.

Day 356 : Still Pool

 

Day 356 : Still Pool

Only ten days to go. Ten more buttons. I better make them good!

Today's button uses a mirror back, which I used a rust formula on. Offhand I can't remember which company's kit - I did it a while ago and the mirror has sat in my box waiting to become something. 

As it is the winter solstice, I found myself thinking I could do with re-reading (or listening to) my favourite book, The Mists of Avalon. It is a bit of a comfort book, and I now have the audio book (which to me, the narrator is perfect) and so I think that will be my holiday listening while I work on a project I've not had time for.

Anyway, the still pool. To gaze into and see the reflection of truth. 

Please keep well and safe everyone.
