A new year

I have recycled my Christmas cards into gift tags using some punches and dies.

Christmas stocking

Must be the festive season

Decorated Candle

I made this for a friend a little while ago.  I stamped and embossed the glass then made the box to put it in.

 

The stamp is from Stampin up and I think I bought the candle from Ikea.

Graduation

We had a lovely day on Saturday when we went to Truro Cathedral to watch our son's graduation.  He was on a course with a fantastic bunch and it was great seeing them all together again. 

 

Wooden sign

I painted this for my friend's daughter who got married recently. It was a great wedding.

Ladies day racing at Newbury

Last August we had a family day out at the races followed by a concert by none other than THE Meatloaf.  His voice has lost its power but he can still put on a performance that entertains from start to finish.  It was a brilliant day and evening.

Sun fish

Last week we were lucky enough to see a sunfish just off Cawsands near Plymouth.  A few weeks before we saw one but didn't know what it was.  I thought it was a bit of thin wood moving in the water but as we got closer we could see it was a fish.  Because it was almost lifeless we thought it had been hit by a boat.  Then it just disappeared.  After spending a lot of time looking at pictures and talking to people, we came to the conclusion it was a sunfish but thought we would never see another one. Then Gary spotted it and it just drifted right past our little boat.  Really magical.
