The SDC results were announced yesterday, and I managed a point with one of the judges for one of my designs! Not the best of results, but then again it wasn’t the worst of results.
I was a little sad for CITYscape, which failed to score with the judges, and I felt that was my best chance. I think the problem was that a part of the design failed on the live preview, which was extremely annoying, but that’s life I guess. And the point is, I’ve learnt from the competition, and I’ve corrected that mistake, and released Chocolate Vanilla for Sandbox, so onwards and upwards!
But for now, I’m taking a break… my right wrist is beginning to click again.

I was thinking last night how you can measure the richness of a country’s history by the number of and by the degree by which its people are eccentric. Britain has no shortage of mad people: we are famous the world over for talking incessantly about the weather. And having produced the likes of Boris Johnson, Rowan Atkinson and my grandparents, that is the argument pretty much won.
This week, I shall be visiting another part of this country. This is my dad’s old stomping ground – Boston, Lincolnshire. I shall be staying there this week with my (maternal) grandparents. So I won’t be blogging any more until I’m back. Sorry!
Meanwhile, submissions for the SDC have now been closed. I’m hardly going to set the world alight with my three designs (apparently that’s not cheating…!), it was a good lesson for me to try to envisage and implement my own design to an existing theme… three times.
As for releasing my designs, I don’t know. Perhaps it’s best to see how well received they are before contemplating unleashing my monstrosities to the world. I guess I’m saying "If you like it, tell me", then I’ll do something about it. They will appear on the Designs page on 2nd August, I believe.
