November 2019

I did a few little projects in November, including an elephant drawing (for a birthday card for one of my sister's friends), flower arranging for a Sunday service(first time I'd done that), and new butterfly earrings in preparation for the Caddonfoot Coffee & Crafts morning where I had a stall.

I decided to do a pen line drawing and then use water to spread the ink a little to create a greyscale image which I think is quite effective.

I was also asked to arrange the flowers for one of the Sunday services. It was the first time I had done flowers for a service on my own. I'm about to do my first of three consecutive Sundays arranging the flowers (the second of which is Mother's Day so no pressure(!) - right?!). Anyway these are the arrangements I did in November:

November is also when the "Caddonfoot Coffee & Crafts" morning is held in the Volunteer Hall in Galashiels. Once again, I had a stall there and I wanted to try a new jewellery design which I used butterfly buttons, fine chain and small semi-precious stones/glass crystals to make dangly earrings.

While it was a pretty busy month - arranging flowers, drawing elephants and preparing for the stall - I'm pleased with how it all turned out and I'm looking forward to doing similar projects in the future.
