Foggy & Tea

Well outside is amazingly foggy and it has been all day. We have had some friends over for Lunch it was a bit of a spur of the moment thing as most thing in life are but it was fun.

Well I promised to updated the blog with the swap bot things I have had well the second parcel I have had was a lovely package of fruity teas.

There are some really yummy flavours here and I am really looking forward to drinking them.

Swap-Bot:- Some assembly required

In the last week I have had two great parcels from Swap-Bot!

The first package was from the Swap some assembly required.

We each had to buy 3 Make it your self kits from the £1 shop and then send it to your partners.

In my parcel I recieved a kit to make a pussy cat coin purse , a set to make two Gecko beaded keyrings and a set to make some cool reindeer Christmas decorations.

Busy Weekend

Well as today draws to a close I thought I had better update everybody on what I have been doing.

Yesterday (the 20th) DH and I went for a visit to Ripon College Cuddesdon Oxford. This is one of the Vicar Factories that He is looking to attend if he gets through the selection process. It is a beautiful college set in about 90 acres of fields. It is a very peaceful place but equally very close to Oxford so that you are not completely removed from society. All in all it was a VERY good day.
This beautiful, peaceful place has now gone to the top of the list.

This morning after a very sleepy start We all went of to Church. Although have way through the service I suddenly came over all dizzy and faint. Well I did manage to stay till the end fo the service. After lunch I went to sleep for 2 hours cause all my limbs and my head were hurting.

Tonight I have worked more on my seahorse swap for Swap-Bot.




I will post a picture later when I have taken it. I have cut him out of the handmade felt I made on Thursday.



Tomorrow I will start on the Red and white ornament I have to make.

First Post

This morning I have started this new blog by creating some felt.

I bought the merino tops from Ebay in a beautiful multi green colour. I have rubbed and rolled put washing liquid on them. Plunged in and out of hot water and finally rinsed it in cold water to remove the soap. Now the felt is drying and when it is finished drying I will take it and cut out a seahorse for a swap I am doing on swap-bot.

I will upload a photo of the felt later when it has dried
