I am immersed in sorting out my computer (and the room it which it is located!). Having to reload programs and generally sort myself out has made me realize how much "stuff" I have held on to. So Zach and I have had a blitz today and chucked out all the disks and programs and manuals that had piled up over the years. We took it a bit further and did some general reorganisation and although I am feeling tired and cranky that I have "wasted" my day (at least in terms of creative play time) I can see that we achieved a lot and that it will be worth it.
Anyway last weekend I made my December Calendar Girl postcard for Doreen. This month we had the option of moving away from the calendar picture inspiration and making a Christmas themed postcard so that is what I did.
The postcard is based on a piece of canvas and is covered with beeswax to adhere the various layers of vintage sheet music, a Christmas serviette and mulberry paper. I have added some gold sequin stars and of course, stitched the edges.
Tonight we have my work Christmas party and tomorrow afternoon I am catching the train to Perth for my bridesmaid dress fitting on Monday morning. I catch the train back on Monday afternoon so I will be a bit quiet blog-wise for the next couple of days (again!). The train trip is close to seven hours each way so I will need to take a good book and maybe a bit of stitching to keep me entertained!
And to share some art received - look at this gorgeous Christmas postcard I received from my friend Annie. She has used her embellisher to create a gorgeous Christmas tree - it is even nicer when seen for real!
