So, new years wine was drunk... over slightly longer than just new years eve. Which really just goes to show what madness my life has become. No bottle of wine would have lasted that long before. Oh well.

There are many tutorials on this. It's quite simple. You draw what you want onto the cork and then cut around it with a craft knife. You cut it very carefully. I managed to not cut myself. Hurrah. I wanted something I could stamp upcoming projects with, you'll see... So I went with the following.

I could blame it on the stinking cold that I have, that has left my brain feeling as though it is filled with cotton wool, but I think that's only one of a range of factors. I was so scared of my craft knife and all he fiddly bits, I forgot to do the important bit.
