play day

It’s a play day, a do-as- I-please day, a me-day. This is what I’ve been doing so far today.

I decided my little header banner needed some reworking. So the daisies are being re-worked.. I’ve made a start. They have little eyelets. Daisy. Day’s eye. Looking at me or me looking at them?

Last night I worked up a sample of the text, made lots of mistakes but liked the quirky angularity of this played-about-with font. It’s now been added to fenland…lurking down there in the reeds. This corner is coming on well.

And why the play day? It’s my birthday! An out-to-dinner-with-my-love day. Have a good day.

    more birthday greetings coming from across the water. Had to enlarge the daisy picture so I could have a better look at that beautifully colored groundcloth. Hope dinner was scrumptious. Think you’ve done a lovely job with the lettering. Perfect thread choice that compliments the font so well.

    Happy Birthday! (while I was sleeping!) I hope you had a lovely time. The eyelet daisies are wonderful – a great addition to your banner. And the text has worked out wonderfully well I think – it ‘fits’ in the design nicely.
