Irish Wet Weather Words...

...in a Print!

I enjoyed doing this, apart from the week or so I spent reading an Irish language dictionary from cover to cover and picking out the most descriptive or unusual wet weather references! I like that it came out basically as I had envisaged, which rarely seems to happen to me - I'm hoping to see what it looks like printed up, if I ever figure out PNG's and PDF's and all the rest of it to send it off to Photobox or Vistaprint etc...watch this space!

Aiteall: Sunny Spell Between Showers

I have made up a little print of Irish words describing wet weather - and included a few that describe those wonderful rare moments when it ISN'T wet, including the one in the post title, Aiteall. Lovely :) (Pic of print to follow!)
My point is, I had a little Craft Aiteall recently, after a stretch where nothing seemed to be going right, in the form of some lovely compliments on an order that went out a couple of weeks ago, including these handmade paper ones...

It makes a big difference to hear something positive! 
And, on going back through my pics to find the one above I also found my 'new' business cards - I had ordered a bunch of Moo cards when I was Paperpennies, but the text was really disappointing and I pretty much forgot about them UNTIL I was making up the new design for Irish Elements: I designed them to the moo card size and got my glue out and...tada!
