Hello deskers! It's the last Wednesday of June and I'm just letting you know that I'm still around and I haven't forgotten about my commitment to check in with WOYWW at least once a month. I haven't done much in the way of arting since my last update. I did manage to finish my 100-day project, albeit several weeks late. Was I fussed about it? Nope, it was my project and I set my own pace. Cool as a cucumber - that's my new motto.
Here's my last page representing days 91-100 for #10X10layers. I will seriously have to rethink this next year and only do it if it serves a purpose. This year at least it kept me going during one of the most difficult periods of my life.
That's pretty much it, art wise. Oh, I've also found this cool book in my local charity shop. It's full of music score as well, so great for collage, but I really bought it for the cover! Look at that distressed spine - yummy! (this also doubles as the obligatory desk shot for WOYWW!)
Other than that, I've done some painting of a different kind! I've upcycled my old pine chest of drawers and bedside table - I'd been planning to do this for years but never found the courage. I thought the long Jubilee weekend was the perfect time to do it - and it did take the full 4 days but so worth it! I got some paint from B&Q - you can choose a colour and they mix it for you. I think this one's called Marine Mist, a very light turquoise green - it echoes the colours of the wall art I got from The Range. A nice makeover for my bedroom, which is now a place of tranquillity helping me sleep really well these days - even better than before my little crisis with anxiety and insomnia. (The canvas will be fixed to the wall as soon as hubs gets his act together!)
Of course, Oreo had to get in on the action and strategically placed himself in the bottom drawer while I was carrying the other bits downstairs to paint them. At least it made a good photo op!
Luckily we got our internet connection back in time for this post. The week before last we had a bit of a mishap - we had a couple of gate posts put in and the contractors managed to slice through the fibreoptic cable AND the water pipe as well when they were drilling! They managed to fix the water within a couple of hours, but we had to reply on Openreach to fix the internet. It's all good now - such a relief!
That's all for today! Thanks for visiting!
See you in a bit! xx
