Project 19 (pen, electronic): I made my Christmas card today! Love how the clean, modern image turned out, so much that I think I'll make it available as a print also. I'll have it available in my Society6 shop later this week (it appears to be down right now, so check back).
Project 18 (photo): I had a family photo session on Sunday. While I may not normally count this as a "Project" I am this time, because, well, I got injured, and didn't have time to do anything else. THat's also why I'm a day late posting. Yours truly took a full-on fall to her knees, then shoulder, then ending in an embarrassing turtle-on-its-back pose on the wet, dirty gravel. I was also carrying all my gear (camera, monopod, bag of lenses) and had the instinct to cradle my camera and keep it from breaking. My knees that night were the size of cut-in-half softballs and were bloodied and hurting. The swelling has gone down some, but they still aren't as bendy as they should be. I was thankful that I've known this family for years so it wasn't QUITE as embarrassing as it could have been if I'd just been meeting them. Anyway, totally worth it as I got to spend time with them and got some really nice family portraits of a really beautiful family. Win-win!
Project 17 (pen, electronic): Played around with my new fonts and one of my favorite programs and came up with a fun little sign. Going for the very popular chalkboard effect. Think I'll print and frame it for my bedroom, where I can see it every morning. A self-fulfilling prophecy, I hope, each and every day.
Project 16 (fabric): I had some extra fleece left from the cowl, so decided, after holding my ice cold steering wheel yesterday ('tis the season) that I could use some car mittens. Mittens that just stayed on the dash for when it was cold. They aren't fancy, don't need to keep them in my purse, but have access to them when it's really cold and I have to head right out. Which is most of the time because I FLY out the door 5 minutes before I'm supposed to be at work, throw it into D and GO. Not a lot of "warm the car up first time". I'm hoping Santa brings me a remote starter for my car this year ;) These were super simple, I just set my hand down on the fleece, traced around it generously, cut out 4 of them (it was double-sided fleece so I didn't need to worry about getting the inside/outsides right), hemmed up the bottoms to the inside, then sewed them together. Like the 6-minute cowl, these were probably 6-minute mittens.
