You know, I think a hunt is a great way to kick off the new month. During August I will be participating in the Needle in a Haystack Hunt, hosted by the Happy Hunters group. This will be their first hunt, so hopefully everything will go nice and smoothly for them!
You can find a full list of participating stores on the Happy Hunters website, which will no doubt also have hints and teasers of some of the prizes added soon as well.
The prize at my store is now up and ready to go. It contains two cute skins, in addition to some needles for nomming. (Please don’t try this at home. Like running with scissors, nomming with needles is hardly a great idea.)
You can find these prizes at the Sanu mainstore inside a little haystack, and I haven’t hidden it all that hard. In a big hunt such as this, I just think it is much easier on everyone to have a prize that is easier to find!
In case you do get stuck though, here is a little hint: I’m feeling hungry… do you like cupcakes as much as I do?

I had no idea what to call my sketch today, so it is now known as ‘She is Adored’. I’m not entirely sure why, but it seemed right nonetheless.
My button badge press arrived yesterday, and I am stoked! I have already made up a few (which were quickly snapped up by my sisters), and the machine worked perfectly. It is a good, sturdily constructed unit with replaceable dies, so later on down the track I can simply purchase the additional die sets to be able to make a wider range of sizes. Tis convenient, don’t you think?
I have a feeling I’m going to be digging through any images that might work well in a round format some time very soon.
This morning, however, I am doing a little more product browsing. I’m looking to get a colour inkjet that produces superior quality prints with maximum colour-fastness and longevity. In addition to the button press, I have some other fun items I’ve ordered which will require printed materials. As such, I’d like anything I make to really stand up really well to the test of time.
Phew… wish me luck.

Plain Paper, Portraits and Sketch.

This is my sketch for today. Since I am going to be spending most of the day cleaning, I thought that I had best get it out of the way nice and early! I’m not quite sure what this lovely lass is trying to say, but from her expression I am assuming it is something along the lines of, “I know something you don’t know.” It is as if she has a wonderfully decadent, juicy secret she is keeping just for the pleasure of calling it her own.
So anyhow, my project of today is to get my studio clean, in addition to the rest of the house.It wasn’t as if the studio was in a particularly huge mess before, by the way. I just like to do a big sort every now and again to get things neat, tidy and findable.
Supplies upon supplies have already been sorted and stored, tucked into individual boxes for different types of things. Sewing supplies in one, yarn and knitting in another… a drawer here for paints, and another for brushes, palette knives, and other assorted things with which to apply paint. So really, the major parts are done! Now it is just all those last finicky touches to put the finishing polish on the room, and I can finally relax.
There is a badge press in the mail, and I am going to have sooooo much fun with it. I can make a badge for any occasion! Husband a little stinky? That could be a badge. A friend does something awesome? I can send them a badge to celebrate! My sister aces a test? I can write ‘Accounting Genius’ on a piece of paper, cut it out, and pin it to her shirt to show her just how proud I am rather than saying it just like everyone else.
So I’m going to go ahead and start doing a little designing before it gets here. I have a feeling that this is going to be the basis for my first badge. For some reason I just feel the need to be all cute and couplesie by having a badge featuring a cartoon version of my husband on it. I can put it on my bag!
So yes… if you happen to see a few roundish sketches over the next few days, do not be alarmed: I have not suddenly found myself lacking the ability to draw in a non-round format, I’m just floating ideas for cute little badges for most any occasion!

Hi Mum!
So this may well be the first time that my mother has sat down and read through some of my blog. If she decides to go through post by post, she’s going to be reading for quite a while. When this post is finished, it will be number 347! That, to me at least, is a lot of posts!
Oh, and don’t worry, Mum… Jenny is just pretending to be sour. She isn’t really.
That got me to thinking – what is my mother going to think? What is she going to be faced with, assuming that she has at least a brief look through all 347 posts?
Flies. She’s going to be faced with flies. And faces. And owls, and rats, and most definitely bunnies, too. There will be dandelions, daydreams, and random musings on characters which have only really ever existed in my head and on the piece of paper scanned in for that particular post. She’ll even be faced, on more than a couple of occasions, with Jenny. Honestly, I think she’s going to come to the conclusion that I am quite random indeed!
Does your mum read your blog?
