Now that I know it's arrived at its new home safe and sound I can finally tell you about the little picture that I recently finished, the first gift for one of the people that were kind enough to comment on my 'Self' post back in January.
I have this lovely little dragon box (a gift many years ago from someone who was very special to be but now sadly in my past)
Well the dragon is safe guarding the names of the people who commented on the post (and provided me with their address details, there are still a couple of people who I tried to contact but never got details from so if you think that's you then please get in touch it's not too late)
I randomly pulled the first piece of paper......
After a bit of blog stalking I found that there is a house move in the future for 16 Muddy Feet, and it immediately bought to mind this little sketch that I did ages ago while I was sat in my car waiting for something or other.
I really enjoyed the little bison in the buttercups picture that I finished off last month so figured I would try this one using the same technique. And voila 'The yellow house on the hill' came in to being.
I again used a canvas board to mount the picture and added a little message handwritten on the bottom.
The picture didn't turn out exactly as I imagined in my head, but I think it's still quite cute anyway.
It's nice to have another finished project as things seem to be slow going round here at the moment. I seem to spend way too much time procrastinating ..... I really must do something to address that, lol.
The dragon has given up the next name, so it's time to put my thinking cap on and come up with something for the next gift recipient :)

Bad Blogger
Well I can't believe that it's been almost a week since I last posted what a bad blogger I am. I need to meet a rich man who wants to marry me and take me away from the world of earning my living, that way I'll have so much more time for the fun things in life like stitching, cooking, walking, going on holiday and blogging about all of the above :)
Apart from a couple of hours working on city and guilds I haven't had much time for stitching, though my latest patchwork/embroidery is winging it's way to its new home as we speak after I finally made it to the post office today. Hopefully I'll be able to report soon that it's arrived safely and can show you the whole thing, but for now here is another little peek.
The sun is shining here today, I hope its the same where you are. Have a great weekend. x
