Here is the photo of the items I made using the precious metal clay.  The heart I put on a chain for a friends birthday present.

Or maybe not!  Finally got on the water yesterday though to start with I did make Gary hold a rope with me on the end so he could pull me back.  Buying a wetsuit was fun.  God knows what the sales assistant thought as Gary had to come in to the changing room and help me into it.

On Saturday morning I took an introduction to precious metal clay course run by a lovely lady called Julia.  I came away with 4 small charms and a great sense of achievement. (Will take photos soon).  Loved the fact that if you wanted to go away and have a go yourself, she gave us hints and tips to keep the cost down.  Here is her web address.

garden update

We have had the stones delivered and spent the morning putting 2 tonnes around the garden.  Really pleased with how it has turned out.

 

 

 

Cottage garden

We have made a few changes to the garden since we moved in.  There was a built in barbeque and some steps that were loose.  Gary took the barbeque out a couple of weeks ago and we removed the steps today.  Unfortunately it did make a frog homeless but we have put some broken pots close to where it had lived so it has somewhere to hide.  There is also a small slow worm moved to the flower bed.  (Wasn't over keen on picking it up but it kept wriggling off the trowel).

Barbeque nearly gone

The steps without the slabs

The man with the muscles.

Barbeque and steps are now gone.  We have spread the gravel over the area but will be putting down some slate chippings.
