cherub1 I am following the lead of the lovely Karen who gave the idea of putting the little photos at the beginning of sections. And as I'm always thinking of angels I thought what an appropriate way to embellish my posts. I have also been sent so many angels I wanted to share some of them with you.

I am in a place where I have so many works in progress at the moment and I am feeling uncertain of where to turn. I think I will begin by showing you my latest creation from the weekend. That is a new carved stamp. I had borrowed Ruth Issett's book from the library. Through her book Print, Pattern and Colour, together with various articles from Cloth, Paper, Scissors magazines I have drawn so much inspiration.

And since I started this post yesterday morning I decided to do a tutorial video about making stamps.

I've also completed three postcards using the recent stamp and have posted them in my shop. YES! I'll show photos of them tomorrow. It's getting too late now. (PHEW! THANK GOODNESS daughter's Home Ec. project is done. There was much turmoil today after school.)

Unfortunately the planning was just a bit slow in that I learned the dear Karen had advertised my blog and shop in a post she did yesterday. Oh well, there is only so much I can accomplish at one time and my left eye wants to keep twittering at me - take time to rest, take time to rest.

I have also learned that my dear friend Elena has started her very own blog. ***YAY ELENA*** I hope you'll take time to visit her and comment. I also hope to be stopping by some of the fabulous blogs she has introduced to me and putting links to hers AND numerous of these others in the near future.

Getting very late so I will have to be back with you all tomorrow.

Angels be with you,
Wendy

still here: I have been quite tied up the past few days because our daughter has been needing to complete a major home cooking project for homework. It is due on Wednesday. She needs much help and I am trying to help her so she can impress the teacher. I doubt she would ever see this so will tell you we are making a little video. Cat did most of it. I've been teaching her how. I also helped with some of the photographs to put the name of the recipes directly on them. It really helped Cat's attitude at least, by suggesting these little fancy extras.
Also our scanner gets tired. It doesn't want to work properly after a number of scans. (: I guess I should be tired too. I have to take the dog and myself for a walk yet. Hopefully in next couple of days I'll have 2 more videos done and a few more things for my etsy.
Good night or good morning as the case very well may be.

earth day Part 2:
Of course I have to keep reminding myself that I CANNOT do everything at once, even if I think I can. And so I am working very slowly at trying to introduce more items to my shop and do networking. I really wasn't sure what I was going to do for my dear friend Suze - today is her birthday. I thought of something to send her and I truly hope that she likes it. I wish I could have done more but that's all time allowed right now.

I'm a bit late but finally got this video prepared from earth day, April 22. I'm working on other projects too. Earth day may have to extend into next month (: I'll see what I can do.

I know there is much more I could do for Mother Earth but I am doing what I am able for now. If you want to hear the words from the t-shirt with the words you'll have to listen to the video.

I'll be offering 4 x 6 inch prints of some of the photos from the video in my etsy shop - hopefully I'll get then listed sometime tomorrow.
