Not 2000 and late.

A quick preview of one in a continuous series of very large prints (A1 size approx. 23.4 x 33.1 inches) I've been very slowly working on. Hopefully I'll be able to get them finished in time to sell for the Chrissy hols. I dream of getting them printed onto silk scarves too...

Do you ever get the feeling that there's so much you want to achieve... only problem is there is so little time and so little money? *deep sigh* Ah life. Still there's room for small pleasures. Is it so wrong that I got overly excited about the purchase of a small 15cm metal ruler yesterday?

Also is it wrong that I've developed a small crush on Sheldon Cooper? Yeah, I didn't think so!
