The first time I needed glasses I was finding that I didn't want to paint or read but couldn't understand why. Now, about ten years on, I can recognise the signs so was more than ready when the time came for an eye test this month. I got my new glasses two days ago (zebra frames!
Zebra!!) and the improvement has been remarkable - well, I have been using the glasses I got 4 years ago for all close work so it's not surprising really.
So, painting is once more something that I want to do - plus it's been quiet this week, no stress. I'm still attracted by swans and am enjoying this little watercolour immensely.
I made this brooch which was a freebie in this month's Mollie Makes. Took about five minutes but I love the clever way it works.
So much so that I had a go at making a fabric flower from scraps I had lying around. Also made a little coin purse with a small scrap of Japanese fabric - you've got to love a deer in a crown....
Currently on the needles...pampas grass. Not as difficult as it sounds, in fact it's a little boring!
