Crafty creations

I haven't been very creative lately, but we've got an art club exhibition coming up so I thought I ought to get some stuff together. Here are my latest jewellery efforts.



Vinca's 10,000 steps

As part of my daughter's 10,000 steps a day challenge I provided moral support by walking with her while she was home for the weekend - that's why the visit to the cemetery (see below). We also had a good walk through the woods along the riverbank and came across this pretty waterfall.

Brampton Old Cemetery





The oldest headstone, I think

I like the variable script . . .
 Back and front of an apparently wooden headstone, but it's really a ceramic, stoneware?

A glorious view

Hunting for bluebells: Quarry Beck and nearby




 Met a posy seagull in Carlisle!

Another beautiful day at Talkin Tarn.




Holiday Tenerife April

Sorry for the long break - this is by way of catching up a bit.
In April we went to Tenerife - my 3rd visit, and this time I really enjoyed it. The hotel, Sandos San Blas, was great.
