A wonderful Saturday surprise!!

I received a fantastic surprise in the post this morning from Yiota at Shells and Bells Flowers and Showers. I love anything arty and the painting of the yachts by a "foot and mouth painter"

made me realize how lucky I am to have my hands to do all the things that I do!

It is also nice to see an oil painting (below) done by a Greek artist. Unfortunately

the colours haven't come out quite right in the photograph!It is much nicer than this! The butterfly stickers and little note pad are sooo pretty!!!! Thank you Yiota!

The Summer Fayre is next Saturday at school. My mum and I have been quite busy when time allows, making things to sell for school funds, including some crocheted bunting! Here are some of the items:

This is my box of beaded sales items standing by for next Saturday!!!

Now back to finishing my school shoe art project. When it has been marked by my art teacher I shall take some photos!

Have a great weekend!!

I'm Back!!!

Oooooo! What a wonderful holiday, such warm weather! We set out from Northumberland at 5 am this morning and arrived back home a short while ago. My mum and I went for lots of walks and we did some gardening in our friends garden.

This is one aspect of the garden where we stayed. It is a great garden for bird watching!

This is a photo I took of one of the many birds we saw on our walks.

In between all this fun I did get lots of crafting done!! I have finished 3 projects. One I cannot show because it is a friends birthday present and she currently reads this blog!! ;)

This is a necklace centre piece, made up of little beaded squares and rectangles sewn together to create this unique form.

Just a little bracelet to sell (for school funds) at the up coming summer fayre.

And a small wall hanging inspired by Marigold Jam's gorgeous sewing.

We returned to happy chickens and happy dogs which had been well looked after by my much older brother!! Thank you Bro!

Back to school on Monday! Hope you all have a happy weekend and thank you for all your encouraging comments and support.
