Today I continued to use the bumble bee design, and used it on some more of items from Zazzle. I think my favourite is the yubo Lunch Box (pictured left). It's so cute.

Achievement of the Day: I put the Christmas tree up.  I was going to put it up last Sunday, but never got around to it. So there you are, it's up. After much faffing about. It took me about an hour to get the lights just right. Why are Christmas lights so hard to put on a tree? Then, as I picked it up to put it on the table, I dropped it.
Here's some bumble bee wrapping paper. Not at all festive but would be ideal for someone's birthday, and go really well with the bubble bee card below *points downwards*
And some pillows which would make great gifts:
 
So, using the repeating bumble bee pattern from earlier, I've created some cute iPhone covers. One has a purple background, and the other an orange. Go take a look:
 
For a while now I've been trying to get my head around doing repeating patterns. It's always frustrating to design something, only to find out that when you come to use the pattern, none of the images line up. This afternoon, I think I've crossed a milestone. Finally, finally, I've created a pattern using a simple repeating bumble bee design. Hooray!

So How come I finally figured it out? Well I had some help. From Redbubble. More specifically, this tutorial that takes you through the whole process. It's easy to follow, so give it ago and have fun!
