So Monday was the fact that I had got my hexagon project out again:

Tuesday was a celebration of getting these four drawing books from a charity stall for a £1:


Wednesday and Friday were celebrating being out in nature in two new (to me) locations:


And Thursday I was excited about black gesso:

Today, erm, I am particularly grumpy and uninspired:

Gee, I can't be a shining beacon of positivity all the time :-)
In other news, I hand quilted an orphan block left over from Waif's quilt, and am calling in my journal quilt for June (is that cheating?!). I used pearl cottons and edged with yummy jumbo rickrack:

First, I love the drawings of the body parts! What a great book find, too! Next, I love the black gesso paint, may have to get that! Third, your journal quilt is so lovely! Love coming by to visit Viv :), cheers!
ReplyDeleteYour index cards look great! And what a bargain you got on the books! The drawing card shows how much they inspired you. And your last card made me laugh. We all have days like that.
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that your index cards are becoming a journal for you, and reflect what's going on (the good AND the bad!). Very good approach to the project, I think (not that I'm actually DOING the project, so maybe I shouldn't be giving my two cents!) :-)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to catch up with you here. We've been away. so much to see and enjoy here. thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love all your cards! Being a fan of birds...I really like the June 22 one with the birds. :)
