Taking it easy

Hello everyone!

This weekend I plan to do a bit of crafting, a bit of cooking a bit of walking, a bit of gardening and No cleaning! Well I have done a load of washing and washed up, but that's it!

I have been making some button hearts for Lissylou for her BHF stall. Lissylou also recently posted about her note books.

Above is a page from one of my notebooks.

*I keep note books, I list things in them.

*Things I would like to see, do, go to, watch, visit etc.

*I cut small items out of magazines and stick them in.

*I doodle in them and sometimes sketch things in them.

*They are great to look back through.

I am planning a little embroidery later too.

I received a lovely package last week from the very generous Simone.

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.

A beautiful card, a Sweet Sally Sewing Set, the 2010 Friendship book and a lovely felt heart. The felt heart goes so well with a scarf my sister bought me for Christmas (Sorry the photo is a bit dark!) Thank you Simone.

My class 5 at school were making collages out of recycled plastic on Friday. They worked very hard and I thought I would show you some photos. Shan gave me the idea (which I wrote down in a note book!) and these photos show the before photos.

They then got arranged between two pieces of cling film and covered with baking paper before ironing with a cool iron to fuse the plastics together. I will show you the display when I get round to doing one.

Also at work last week we made fruit smoothies in class 3. There was a tiny bit of fruit left so I made some mixed fruit jam. just enough for a jar and a half. I will take a jar into school next week and the class can taste a bit on some wholemeal toast as a treat.

On the way home on Friday, I saw an elephant!

Can you see him in the sky, with his trunk held high? (not sure where his legs are though!)
