Photography
The elements have been conspiring against us this week and we’ve spent a couple of days at the tail end of the week without electricity so my pictures are taking on a candlelit look to them. Saturday – the kids made me a Happy Happy cake Sunday – Tenor Horn Monday – Knitting a pair [...]
That’s right, Saturday. I really do wish I could keep up and post on a Friday night but it’s just too much for me at the moment, so Saturday it will be. Here’s a glimpse of what I’ve been looking at this week. Saturday – Wanlockhead & Leadhills Narrow Gauge Railway Sunday – Daffodil Monday [...]
A day late due to travel with work…sorry! This week I had a notion that I would theme my photos. I chose dilapidation. As you can see these are not all related to dilapidation so…FAIL. Nevertheless, I think my skills are improving a little as time moves on, notwithstanding work getting in the way…hence Gies [...]
Another week gone by and I’m exhausted. I’m quite proud of myself this week for managing to keep up photo taking while being back at work, although they have a distinctly night-time feel about them now. I must get over the embarrassment of taking photos while other people are around. Jan 8 2011 Been playing [...]

They are tremendously nice, although they’re currently competing with some ground elder that [...]
In the last 4 weeks we’ve had both of our booked craft fairs whipped out from under our feet, due to no fault of our own I hasten to add. The first thanks to the council library failing to sort out the right licence from, well, the council; the second being cancelled for who knows [...]
… and still I’m gripped by an inability to craft, seized as I am between an unfinished poly-tunnel and the start of the school summer holidays. Progress on the poly-tunnel is slow, although there is at least progress with the door-frames having been erected since my last update, leaving only the base-rail to attach, the [...]
I mentioned previously that I’ve been busy putting together the poly-tunnel (amongst other things) hence the dearth of actual crafts of late, although I think the tunnel may actually qualify under the auspices that it is ‘Stuff’ what has been ‘Made’!? Failing that Jolene has been working on a couple of bits n’ bobs that [...]
