Snowy Tree Therapy





Some days don't run as according to plan as one would hope.


In the past 24 hours I have attempted to make a loaf of bread in the breadmaker without the stirring paddle inserted, which gave the house a delicious scent of rice pudding, but did not produce anything remotely resembling a loaf nor anything else at all edible.


I then put my blender wand in the cake mix instead of my electric hand whisk and wandered why I couldn't cream the butter and sugar very well.


I also had a less than satisfactory time at work for one reason and another (NOT this time due to my dippiness).


Anyway I have had some stitching therapy tonight and made another brooch which I enjoy doing. I wonder if I can sell them? Maybe I could just do this all day long and stay more sane instead of beckoning the early onset dimentia with quite the enthusiasm I did today...

Oh yes and then I played around with Photoshop (must get an instruction book) and sketched this tree. Must also get more blonde highlights because I can't remember how I did it.

  5. Hello, I have just found your lovely blog. As for Photoshop, I think a night class for beginners is best, unless you are good at following instructions from a book? I tried the book way but even the most simple are very wordy, think video instructions times one hundred! Maybe your local college has a class? That way you take things one step at a time.

    You could have a little Etsy shop for your brooches, they would sell I am sure, also prints from your work.

  7. I just love your little tree designs - so simple yet so complete somehow. You are probably trying to remember too many things at once and are 'overloaded'.
