And for an optional question, what about:
What time of the day do you usually work on your crafty projects?

Answer: I am definitely a nights-and-weekend person but the light is so much better in the morning. Alas!

1. I am still working on my Christmas gift cross stitch. And I learned over the weekend how to do French knots! Not as difficult as I was expecting. [See strawberries in the top right corner]



2. I used watercolor crayons to make 10 Christmas cards for the Holiday Cheer event organized by the Multi-Fandom Postcard Exchange.

Cute frog and ladybug!

I wish I could draw or whatever well enough to make cards that way. I especially like the blue tree against the moon, very effective!

Thank you, thank you!

It was a bit difficult to decide what to do that was seasonal but not Christmas per se AND something that I could pull off with my limited artistic skill. I was happy with the mug and chocolate box and tree motifs and repeated them.

I don't think my stick figures would been as effective. ;)

Idk, I think stick figure Christmas card art would be kinda awesome...

It would be a bit sparse though...

Thank you! I've since added a lily pad & pond and a bunch of dodgy looking raspberries. I think I'll add a butterfly and call it a gift!

Hope you'll let us see the completed item!
