Hello readers, hope you are all enjoying the sunshine - even Monday mornings don't seem so bad when the weather is this good!Sorry I've not been around much lately, I've got a couple of big shop orders (more about that at a later date) which is taking up alot of my time. I'm not complaining as it obviously means money, but on the downside it means no new designs - which is my favourite part of the job!
I did however manage to put together the above pieces of driftwood at the weekend. It's quite a big piece, I'm not sure what to do with it yet... maybe a giveaway(?) seeing my blog anniversary is creeping up on us!
I'm not sure what this was - I found it on the beach just like this - but I thought it would make a good moon!
Old paintbrushes wash up on the shore regularly - I'm going to start collecting them as they make cool fish!
Here's another one - looks like a pipefish. Perhaps I'll frame it and entitle it 'Ce n'est pas une pipe'!
This little piece of wood looked just like a whale, so I added a couple of strips of rusty tin to finish it off!
Something fishy is going on here!Meanwhile we have been having great fun playing around with the Hipstamatic app on Steve's i-phone - I just love the effects...
This one is out of focus but I still like it!
And I'll leave you with my favourite! Thank you to everyone who left a birthday message to the little man last week - it really means alot to me!

ReplyDeleteMmmm... am thinking about purchasing an iphone.. keep going into the shop & fiddling about with the phone, am doing that thing in my head.. 'do I REALLY need a new phone...? '& do I REALLY need an iphone...?'
ReplyDeleteWatched a TV prog called 'electric dreams' covering the 70's 80's 90's & 2000's all about our tekkie must haves, & what our lives are like now we have 'em... :o)

ReplyDeleteLoving the fish! I think I bought a card from you at the Portscatho fair..was it you?
ReplyDeleteKirsty are any of these fishy fellows for sale? Erm, would you like to do a swap? I am quite overcome with excitement at your little wooden school here.
ReplyDeleteThose pieces are all very desirable..did I hear mention a giveaway..!
ReplyDeleteHi Kirsty
ReplyDeleteI've not been by for a while, and it seems I've missed the gorgeous boy's birthday - belated happy birthday :-)
I love your fish, and of course, the boat. What fun!
And just look at those amazing photos - I want to be able to do that too! But it is way beyond the capabilities of my cheap and cheerful Nokia...
I hope you are having lots of fun in the sun in spite of your busy making for shops - I have morphed into a gardener recently - it feels like I've discovered my true self digging in the soil :-)
Aaah, the joys of Spring !
Happy days to you,
Denise x
I love the whale!! What a find that was!! In fact, oh heck - I love all your stuff!! What more can I say?!!
ReplyDeleteSending love,
Julia x x x
More Whales!!!! I think I must be becoming obsessed. Soon they will be taking over the house. Love the last photo, that's my favourite too. And how big is that beautiful boat up there? I think a give away would be great too. L x
ReplyDeleteLaura the boat is 32cm x 47cm high and 4cm deep - quite a chunky piece! Are you back then?
ReplyDeleteGreat beach finds - wish our shores offered more than the odd bottle of becks!!
ReplyDeleteAlso love the phone picture effect - I must go an investigate.
take care,
Nina x

ReplyDeleteGreat fish! Glad you did well at Porthscatho x x

ReplyDeleteJust popped over from Nina's to check out your fab hipstamatic photos. I wonder if I can do that on my Blackberry, I shall have to investigate. I had a quick browse through some other posts, love the bucket lampshade (and of course the fish).
