Back to work today

Have gone back to work today, only for 4 hours, but it was enough! Completely whacked now, foot aching but at least it's not swollen that much.
You forget how hard it is to stand in virtually the same place for hours on end!! Will probably do the whole week at 4 hours a day just to ease myself back in.

Didn't make any more cards yesterday but I did paint some stamped images, Christmas stamps that I thought I'd better start on now for the craft fair in September. People will hopefully have Christmas on their minds on the 4th September!

I'm not really all that happy with colouring the stamped images, I've tried promarkers- too dark and bold, watercolour paints- ok, and also watercolour pencils, which are my favourite at the mo. I will persevere and show you the results soon I hope!

No craft things to show this time but this is a pic of our lovely lawn, lovingly tended aand grown by Ian. It's kind of like his baby at the moment, but it does look lovely, well worth all the effort!  Pity about the rest of the garden.....
