I made some ATCs to tuck into cards going out to various friends who are having rough times at the moment - it was so nice to make a few simple cards and decorate envelopes. It's something I had forgotten that I enjoyed so much.
We have a new colour laser printer, and I printed some images onto vellum - they worked out well. It's a huge monster of a printer, though, and we don't have table space for it, so it crouches on the floor like a toad.
Things I'm excited about:
The new Temeraire novel is released soon. The first three were brilliant fun to read - a re-imagining of the Napoleonic War fought with an Aerial Corps of dragons. Very much my cup of tea.
My new lap-top that has been ordered, and should arrive on Tuesday. Until then, I have to perch on the rickety chair in the kitchen to use the desk top.
Thea Gilmore singing 'Bad Moon Rising'. I love her voice.
Dale at the Thread Studio having Hot Textiles in stock before Amazon. Go Aussie suppliers!
I think that's all the excitement I can take. Also, should be writing.

Yep - I couldn't agree with you more! And you really crack me up the way you write. I had a totally "off" day yesterday and it is very frustrating as I had deliberately taken a day's leave on Monday so I could get through everything I am currently committed to. And of course I am now back to just the two days to d o it all as I wasted yesterday! And I am reading blogs instead of getting started (what id wrong with me??)Your ATCs are delicious - one of teh reasons I love having a blog is that it makes me do smaller, simpler stuff again - I had got too caught up in big projects or arty stuff where everything seem to be complicated. Enjoy your Sunday writing!
Fabulous ATC's - my favourite is the framed one!
