Gerda Steiner August


Since I broke the vacuum this afternoon … I decided to carpe diem and run to the art studio to work on the Gerda Steiner Progressive challenge.  How cute is this image?  I immediately thought: Christmas card when I saw this little cutie.

Junior Engineer tells me that I "shouldn't have forced" the bag-less canister back on to the vacuum.  I'm quite certain that I did INDEED break something but when Senior Engineer gets home, he will no doubt confirm the demise of the Dyson, and reiterate the "don't force things" comment.

Frankly, I don't think I'm responsible enough to operate this expensive piece of machinery.  Someone else probably ought to take care of the carpets from now on.

I'm using the sketch over at Sketch Saturday.  I rotated it to fit my image.  I'm also using the "Purple Rain" theme over on Dragonfly Journeys (and thank you VERY much Jeannie, now I have that song stuck in my head!)

  4. Cute cute image, love that you have turned it into a christmas card. Oh dear about your Dyson, but I agree, someone better qualified had better use that technology from now on :) Thanks for playing along with Sketch Saturday this week, Niki xx
