Need an Unusual Business Card?

http://www.zazzle.com/loving_couple-240619411349861345 Designing business cards this morning. I've been meaning to do this for a long time but it kept getting pushed aside by more pressing matters.

Easter is Sneaking Up

It was a rainy Saturday here in Southern CA. Luckily we made it to the bank, the post office and the grocery store before the rain began. I mailed off one of my handmade cards to a relative and an Easter surprise to my grandson. I suddenly realized it's only one week until Easter!  That sure crept up on me. I had hoped to design more Easter cards for my Zazzle shop but this is the only one I managed to post early enough for someone to mail order it.

In the morning I'm going to a picnic, so I hope it's not too wet.  Then I get to go give someone the white crocheted snood I made for them that I mentioned in an earlier post. Maybe she'll get to wear it to church on Easter.

If you forgot I had a Zazzle shop it's here: Personalize Me. And now, like the bunny in the photo, it's time for me to get some sleep. Have a great weekend.

Printmaking With Found Objects

I just heard from my sewing buddy. She is under the weather so it may be awhile before we work together.

So today I got most of my holiday cards addressed and stamped.
The other day I was at Joann's flipping through a book on printing with found objects. so I decided to do a video on found object printing.  I hit my local under a dollar store and picked up erasers, paper clips, clothes pins, plastic lace placemats and other nifty things for the printing project. I really love printmaking and haven't gotten to do it much in the last 10 years.  So it's about time I did. So right off I did some printing on a get well card for a friend. I'll post the photos here if I can white out her address. I made the envelope too.

Then I worked out the design for the crocheted Special Olympics scarf.  Darn it all, I got it to my editor an hour late and she's gone for the weekend.  So much for getting up at 7 AM and working my butt off till 2 PM.  Sigh. If only the saving and uploading process didn't take so long.

In good news, Youtube has upgraded my account so now I can make 15 minute long videos.  It won't help for my sponsored tutorials, because the biggest file I can send them is 10 minutes.  But it will make vlogging a lot easier. Plus I do non-sponsored tutorials on other crafts, so I can use the 15 minutes.
But it's rather like winning a prize to get upgraded.  I'm not sure what they base it on...number of videos? Number of subscribers? Number of views.  Who knows.  Those crazy logorhythms.
