Day 260 : Preppy

 

Day 260 : Preppy

Very experimental today. I've been prepping for my next Hochanda show (not for a while yet, just trying to get ahead) and end up creating something in classic preppy colours. And you have be at least a certain age and from a certain place to even remotely get that.

Cold weather and aches and pains again. Boy do I hate getting old. I expect my crafting will change quite a bit as I get older as my joints ache such a lot already. Goodness - I sound a bit bleak! Sorry, totally not intentional! In good news, our local stray is visiting more and more often - didn't even run off the last time we came back and she was in the garden, 5 or 6 ft away - even with Toby next to us!

Keep well everyone.

Day 259 : Lucky House

 

Day 259 : Lucky House

Today's button is one from my sketchbook - It's not quite what I had in mind I'm sure (the drawing is a few years old),  but I quite like it. It sort of reminds me of a Japanese or Chinese character, and as red and gold are both lucky colours, the name was born.

Dear Google : Please stop with the little blogger tweaks! A pencil has meant edit forever, and tonight they decided a wheel icon (like the one normally used for settings) should be used instead....

And as for Facebook and their stupid, childish new look... Don't even get me started. I will switch back to classic as long as I can.

Day 258 : Pinks

 

Day 258 : Pinks

Today's button is another that started with quite a definite idea, and ended up as something entirely different. "Pinks" because I already have a button named Dianthus - something of a theme this year maybe? Either way, a doodle button I'm really happy with. And yes, it is on one of the new moulds, which are all live on the website now in the turned moulds section. 

Monday, Monday! Off to catch up with paperwork now.
