Well, here we are, it’s nearly Christmas and I haven’t blogged for aaaages! Sorry if you’ve been a regular reader awaiting my crafty updates, but this last term has been very very time consuming! But that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been creating, ‘coz I have!
Soo, what have I been up to since my last blog, which was my Blogoversary?
Well, I went to the Barefoot Festival with some friends. I volunteer there every year; it’s a festival of dance and other goddess-y things,
There’s always a great show on the Saturday night, followed by an amazing fire show
M and I went to Lyme Regis for a holiday in the caravan. The weather wasn’t great; in fact there were alot of days when I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face! But we did some fossil hunting along the Jurassic Coast, finding lots of great fossils
We went to the Donkey Sanctuary, Monkey World (also a sanctuary) and lots of other great places.
Term time has been really busy; observations and OFSTED visits have been very much the order of the day…very stressy! Still, I have been able to get some therapeutic crafting done
Trousers have been embellished…
And brooches have been made – these are some reclaimed jumpers, felted and then needle felted and embellished.
This brooch I love, it’s made from scraps of netting with a shisha mirror and some beads…it goes really well with my black velvet swing coat!
I’ve really been getting into Geocaching this year as well. It’s a kind of treasure hunting…you follow the clues to find the cache (usually a box with some swappy things inside, and a log book to sign)
I normally go with the Uberhound…it gives our walks a purpose and I’ve been to some lovely places this year that I knew nothing about before! I usually take my camera and I’ve got some great shots!
We also had our annual Christmas Hafla where I ended up dancing three dances!
So, the last couple of months in a couple of photos!!
I promise not to leave it so long before I blog again…
