Hi folks, sorry it's been a while! I feel as though I've been chained to my sewing machine lately, not creating anything new unfortunately, just making a huge number of owl mobiles! So it was lovely to get out to the shed yesterday and build some new driftwood boats!
Remember I smuggled a few bits out from
Greece? Well, here are a few of the finished products!

I adore that bright blue paint - reminds me of the sea over there...

And I love the hole that had naturally occurred in this piece...

This fantastic piece of wood was found more locally in Cornwall

I thought it lent itself well to a red, white and blue theme and I made some buoys from polystyrene balls and hung them from bakers twine....

This piece will be wall-mounted, but I haven't put the fittings on yet, so I photographed it on my bed; you get the idea though!
Some of these items will be available in my
Folksy shop soon, but I need to keep some for the
Homespun Fair which is only a few weeks away (don't tell anyone but I haven't got anything to sell yet!) I think there's some late nights ahead for me!
Have a good week my lovelies and a warm welcome to any new followers!
