two weekends and all kinds of weather.....


Last weekend was really exciting for me, the choir I am in performed for the first time in my local shopping centre. It was a boiling hot day and thoroughly enjoyable. We only got together in March but I think we sound okay. Have a listen....


I was as high as a kite for the rest of the week but had to knuckle down to work as I needed to prepare to sell at Newcastle Community Green Festival on Jubilee weekend. So I spent the week making; Monday in gorgeous sunshine in Jaynes garden, lots of woolly heart hanging decorations...


......but the lovely weather didn't last for long and I spent the two days of the Green Festival in the bitter cold, I could hardly move I was wearing so many layers of clothing, but lots of hot tea kept me going and luckily the event was well supported..... 


Typically, yesterday, the day after the festival the weather was beautiful again and I had a lovely day in Seahouses, walking and browsing in the shops. 


I found a lovely little shop called Drift, selling lovely craft, beads and buttons... ooohhhh!!!


I bought a few lovely things including this crocheted coaster, I just love the colours.....
Well, it's raining again today....oh dear!!!!

Such a shame that we all had such dreadful weather over the Bank Holiday - I hope the cups of tea helped you to keep warm! I love those hearts, they are very pretty. Liz x

Singing together is a really uplifting experience - no wonder you felt so good!
Your beautifully shaped hearts are uplifting todays grey weather! I'm always amazed that each artist has their own iconic heart shape - a heart is not just a heart!
Your display looks fab...so much felty goodness to see....love your mini bunting!
Beautiful blue sea and sky too! Thanks for a bit of coast...always appreciated!
