Monday 9th December - this and that...

 My new very thin paintbrushes were delivered on Saturday but it wasn't until today that I had time to unpack them and try using them. The prompt for this page was about rain; these brushes were ideal. I'm still a bit heavy-handed with the amount of paint and pressure I was using, but with practice...

The white-handled brushes are the new ones, so much finer than my smallest older ones. 

And more Corinne Lapierre Advent Calendar.  I finished yesterday's sewing which was adding the ropes to the rope ladder.

Today was an 'easy' day, another 'blob' to be stitched to the lower right-hand part of the tree. However, looking ahead to tomorrow I saw that there are a number of pieces to be cut and stitched, and then details to be added as well! So I have done some preparation by cutting out the pieces. 

I pinned them all onto the felt for safety, but I deliberately hid the colours and placed them at random to keep it a surprise!
