| "Happy Harebells" sketch... |
Hello there, and I hope you are thriving in your corner of the world.
This week's art and designs are such a mixed bag, that, like football (soccer!) they are a game of two halves.
First came this sketch of harebell flowers, that then made its way onto a really dear friend's birthday card. (I think she might actually be a newsletter reader too, so this comes with even more good wishes. And speaking directly to that person for just a second, no, I won't put this on anything for sale until you've had loads of time to enjoy it, and maybe not even then. Thank you for being you. ;-)).
Then there is/was... the "Christmas in July" situation...
And just like that, here we are again. The point in the year that astounds any sane person. Namely, that July is the traditional time in which artists and designers are supposed to prepare designs so that they are available/algorithm noted etc, in time for Christmas or pre-Christmas purchases.
And yes, I'm aware that it's the very last day of July, as am typing this.
In truth, I just couldn't face even trying to get festive in the midst of summer weather (and ooh, you know, the state of the world, etc).
But then some little robins and berries just made their way into some art the other week. And what do you know? That snowy robin led to an entire collection of designs.
I hasten to add, they are still very much a "work in progress".
But if you'd like a quick peek at the collection in its rough form, here's a photo.

| Thanks to Jim for this pic, who came into our bedroom when I was trying to get this into a photo, and took it for me. |
And with that, I'll leave you to your day (and huge thanks for reading down this far).
The next instalment might not be for a couple of weeks or so, as there is a huge amount still to do, not only for this collection, but also on items that'll be fun for you much sooner.
But there will be...
More soon.
