Animation Friday - Dream Sweetly

I'm still completely amazed by my beautiful birthday gift from Cathy..... so just in case you missed the process of  it being painted in various layers over at Tinniegirl, I thought it would make the perfect little slideshow for Animation Friday.

Animation Friday - Animated HTML button

I haven't played along with Animation Friday for ages.... but today over at My Poppet there's a little tutorial on how to make an animated html button.

Now I have a little animated button on my sidebar which links to my shop - how cute!

Thanks Cintia

Animation Friday - The New Do

It's been such a long time.... and there was sooooo much grey, but I finally had my hair cut this week.

I wanted to take a before photo on the morning of my haircut, but the hairdresser sent me a text message to come early because she'd  had a cancellation.

The before shot was taken three months ago, so my hair was quite a lot longer before the big chop.

I'm quite glad that I ended up getting a photo of it nicely styled and straightened, as shake and go is more my type of style!

Animation Friday - Put On a Happy Face

New badges available at the Buninyong Market tomorrow!

I love this song....

Gray skies are gonna clear up,

Put on a happy face;

Brush off the clouds and cheer up,

Put on a happy face.

Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy,

It's not your style;

You'll look so good that you'll be glad

Ya' decide to smile!

Pick out a pleasant outlook,

Stick out that noble chin;

Wipe off that "full of doubt" look,

Slap on a happy grin!

And spread sunshine all over the place,

Just put on a happy face!

Put on a happy face

Put on a happy face

And if you're feeling cross and bitterish

Don't sit and whine

Think of banana split and licorice

And you'll feel fine

I knew a girl so glooming

She'd never laugh or sing

She wouldn't listen to me

Now she's a mean old thing

So spread sunshine all over the place

Just put on a happy face

So, put on a happy face

Animation Friday - Impromptu Photo Shoot 2

Moo Moo and the Twins popped in for afternoon tea earlier in the week, so I thought it might be a good opportunity for an impromptu photo shoot.....

What one earth was I thinking?????

The Psychedelic Snail in Technicolour Delight

I suddenly had a feeling of deja vu lastnight, when I remembered that I'd created a snail many moons ago.


After feeling a little naked yesterday.... Mr (or is that Ms - just how do you sex a snail?) Snail now exists in a psychedelic technicolour dream .

I missed animation Friday last week, so this is my belated contribution (snails are very slow after all).

*Yes, Snail greeting cards are on their way - I just couldn't resist printing them.

Animation Friday - Impromptu Shoot

I had a little visitor last week.
This is what happened when I asked him to stand still in front of the wall so that I could take a photo......

Join in Animation Friday at My Poppet.

Animation Friday - The Flowerpot Finale

Mobile phone photos again - sorry

Following on from last weeks Flowerpot Animation, here's the finished drawing!
I had grand plans of creating a fun and different type of animation this week, but I just ran out of time unfortunately..... so you're stuck with my flowerpot.

Animation Friday - Flower Pot

Animation Friday has come around way too quickly this week!

This is a little drawing that I started working on while sitting on the couch watching Tacky House lastnight. The photos are very poor quality as I took them with my phone (couldn't be bothered getting off the couch to find the camera).

My new pens are getting a workout - I've taken my sketchbook nearly everywhere this week. It's a bit difficult in waiting rooms as people like to stare.... a lot, so I might have to go back to taking my knitting with me as well, and decide the craft activity based on the anticipated audience response.

Animation Friday - The Scribble Edition 2 - Colouring In

Following on from last weeks animation....

*Please excuse the dodgy mobile phone photos

I've been trying to take a little break from blogging, but you know what? Blogging keeps me motivated and makes me happy. It gives me something else to think about, and allows me to use my brain, so consider my blogging break officially over.... although things still may be a little sporadic.

I really need to thank each and every person who left me a message on the blog, emailed, came to visit in hospital, or popped something in the mail - I didn't get the chance to reply to everyone personally. 

I also need to give a huge thankyou to Cathy, Cathie, Bec, Nikki, Nikki, Cass, Michelle, Selina, .... I hope I haven't forgotten anyone.

I don't really have any news or answers healthwise just yet - things are not exactly going as I'd planned or hoped for, but I'm always ready for a challenge, so here goes.... wish me luck.

Animation Friday - The Scribble Edition

Have you seen the groovy red shoes animation over at My Poppet?

I couldn't resist trying out Cintia's instructions for making my own little animation and joining in the fun!
