Postcards: One Off The List

The ten postcards I drew/painted have now been sent (okay, so actually there ended up being eleven...)
I forgot to take a picture of them all before I posted them, so I'm having to use the same ones I posted ages ago.

Another Week Gone By...

...and another pretty quiet one! I feel I'm failing a little in my attempt to Do Things for the entire month!

As memory (and photographic evidence) seems to escape me, this was the week I...

Studied more Japanese for Busy People Vol. 1 (List item #035) with the help of Alfie, who remained unimpressed by my telling him about buraun-san no ichinichi.

Ten Postcards

Although today was mostly unexciting (a trip out for a new pillow and a wade through fellow shoppers at the supermarket), I finally finished all ten of the postcards for item #58 on The List:

058. Send 10 postcards with artwork drawn by myself.

By 'finished' I mean I finally put varnish over the top of the 'Have A Nice Day' postcard to protect the watercolours. The paint ran a bit, but nevermind.
Now it's just a case of addressing and posting them off!

Also edited photos of earrings to add to my Etsy store, only to realise I can't list them yet as I don't have boxes suitable for them. It's definitely one of those days!

Craft Fair Prep and More Postcards!

It seems like a week has passed since I last updated, in fact a week ago I was travelling to Lincolnshire to visit a friend, and I returned Tuesday!

Since then, I've mostly been preparing for a craft fair and making more little postcards.

Wednesday 9th:

Usually none of my items are priced, as I've previously only sold online. It took me several pricing sessions to label everything up with these cute mini parcel tags!

As we had visitors on Wednesday, I didn't have much time for doing things, but I did manage to make another postcard:

Ce n'est pas un champignon

Volunteering has filled most of my day, but I still took a few minutes to draw this little postcard...

My French is terrible (and this bit is courtesy of Google Translate) but it should read, roughly, 'This is not a toads stool'. It's a little nod to René Magritte's Ceci n'est pas une pipe. !

Am off on a trip tomorrow, so shan't be updating here for a few days.

Thursday 3rd April

As I mentioned yesterday, today involved a trip to the osteopath. My neck and shoulder are still painful but hopefully I'll wake up tomorrow feeling better!

Due to feeling rather sore, I didn't stay out for long today, but I did make some more postcards.

Wednesday 2nd April

So continues my attempt at 'Doing Something' every day this month!

Today was a 'quiet day'. I have pulled muscles in my neck and shoulder, and carrying things yesterday aggravated it and gave me lots of pain, boo. (Tomorrow's Something will be a trip to the osteopath...)

I photographed things I've made to sell at a craft fair/on Etsy, finished a display stand, and spent a couple of minutes doing this...

This is working towards something in The List !
