Han, in London

 So, I finally got most (let's not say all, because I probably haven't) of my card photos - but especially the Christmas ones - uploaded to my cards tumblr. 

hanlondoncards.tumblr.com

That's basically a gallery for my card shop, which I have been threatening to write about for a very long time now.

(I also have photos of the jewellery I've made here - hanlondonjewellery.tumblr.com - but I haven't added any of that to the shop yet)

I suppose I should add some context, right? Well, I have been making cards since I was at university (coming up to 10 years ago), although it was mostly because I like making them/making personalised cards. Crafting stuff is just damn pretty. I've got an entire cupboard full now, which is possibly a little ott. 

For a few years now, I've had more cards made than I can possibly use, and I've been meaning to set up the shop. I think I finally got round to it earlier this year, which is fairly typical for my level of organisation. I then had various problems with hard drives dying and so on, so it took me ages to get the photos edited, uploaded and added. I've currently got 80 entries on there, and I've got 250ish cards (although a few of the entries are for packs, and I've used quite a few cards recently rather than making new ones). I do intend to add the others to the shop, honest. 

Anyway, I'd really appreciate it if you'd have a look, and forward on the link if you like the look of my stuff (obviously if you want to buy some cards, that would be lovely *g*). 

Just a few examples:

Because things have happened and I am finally starting to feel better.

a) Getting work health insurance so worth it, as I have an appointment with a dermatologist next week. Current main suspect for all this trouble: sun.
b) At the weekend I decided to i. keep the sun off my neck and ii. stop using products containing SLS on it. This was basically desperation, but one or the other has worked so well that I may not have any symptoms to show the dermatologist. Good thing I took pictures.
c) The Hour continues to be excellent, and if all the episodes are on iPlayer I will attempt to have an lj ramble about it.
d) Yesterday when loading the dishwasher at my parents’ house I found a metal ring (with little metal skulls) in the sink. It’s not mine. It’s definitely not Lesley’s. Sometimes, I have to remind myself that I’m not superstitious (we’re pretty sure we know where it came from but it’s still weird).
e) I continue to have fic idea upon fic idea, but not to be able to actually finish anything.
f) I am going through all my cards to make sure I have decent photos so I can finally set up a thing to sell them.
g) I am going to set up a photo blog soon, damn it. I am.
h) I am going to the athletics Grand Prix at Crystal Palace tomorrow! This is the first sporting event I have ever chosen to attend.
i) I have read the new Luther book and it was fucking awesome.
