It's not the best photo in the world. After 2 beautiful sunny days here which I spent earning my living indoors, it was truly foul here today, when I had the oportunity of getting some rays. Sod & his law, I guess. Meh. So, no light. I had a wonderful time tho, using up all the ink in the printer making little baby versions of 42 out of 50 of those postcards I sent around the world to celebrate my half century. I look at them & can't believe they're my little pieces of work. I look at them all in one big month of squares & I'm delighted.
I might try & find the other 8, I know where one is & I've asked if i can 'lift' it off the blog post it's on. Can you do that? It must be possible otherwise why would people say not to use their images? Can anybody spare a minute to tell me how?
I've also made a strtip of 6 squares, after such a long time - this one's for you, Rini!
Again, excuse the lack of light, there's only so much you can do with auto balance to take away some of the flatness.
Bits & pieces from my box, coloring & stitching on a piece of metal ( tricky trying to avoid it looking like a face in a gasmask!) numbers & letters remains, more box bits, left from cardmaking. So this is the first strip from August. As I said I'll get to July. It took a while to make myself do 'today's' square instead of just trying to catch up with squares gone by. I seem to need order in my life, can't imagine why!
I've made a few cards, they do well in the studio.
I look forward to using some of this booty I got at the French brocante last month. I'm so envious when fellow bloggers get to go regularly to markets & finally after a while, I got my chance :)
Some lovely lace, books, bits of paper a baby grappling hook (?) & 2 hooks 'crochet' in French, rather apt but I might use them in my greenhouse.
I had fun making a birthday card for my middlest who was 18 yesterday - he had a good night out anyway! - if there's any light tomorrow, I'll take a pic.
'night.

Wow, great stuff. You have been super, super busy. Nice brocante from France. HOpe you leg is ALL better. xox corrine
I love the collage of your postcards and I'm honored to have one of the originals!
Lots of great work as usual! I'm always amazed at the amount of work bloggers get through on top of all the daily "chores"!
Your postcards look great Emma...love the overall 'blueness'of them.
Your cards are lovely too.
And I'm envious of all that lace and text (but not the grappling hook - although I'm interested to know what you'll do with it, lol !!!)
