Hello everyone 🙂
The last few weeks have been spent settling in to my new job and trying to wrap my head around the mechanisms of a (quite) different workplace. It’s been interesting, difficult at times and definitely a challenge but I am getting there. I miss my old workmates terribly, but have caught up with a few of them since I left and will continue to do so.
Craft-wise, I have been working on a few simple designs for my cards, drawn whilst watching TV mostly, and coloured with alcohol markers. I do rather like the bright colours against a nice, white background and adding a bit of padded tape gives the blooms an extra “pop”. I made a whole batch of these cards when leaving my last job – they’re quick to do (sort of) and don’t need lots of supplies. Otherwise I end up with all sorts of crap strewn about the place. I don’t need to worry about finding the right ribbon or button or embellishment. I do wish I had nice handwriting so I didn’t need to use rubber stamps but, until that particular talent comes to me, I am utilising those stamps!
I will have to get cracking on making Christmas cards soon, otherwise I will be panicking halfway through December and staying up at unGodly hours trying to get some done in time to post or give out.
Hope you are all well and safe and creatively happy 🙂
