I Heart My Apple.

When was the last time you made something you really, really loved?

When was the last time you squealed when you completed a project and saw it finished for the first time?

When was the last time you had to sleep with your new finished thing on your bedside table so you would be able to see it as soon as you opened your eyes in the morning?

When was the last time you had to carry your new baby around with you all day so you could see what it looked like in different places and different situations?

I don't know about you but I usually see faults in everything I make.

There's always something not quite right about the size, the shape, the pattern, the tension or the colour.

But for some reason this little apple really got me excited. I love the cartoonish shape, the red and the green, the teeny weeny size and the fact that it ended up almost exactly how I had planned it.

This feeling is extremely rare for me, I have a box full of not quite right creations under my desk to prove it.

But his time I'm happy and I love it.
