Weddings and stuff.

I had the very good fortune to attend one of the most beautiful weddings I think I have ever been to recently. My gorgeous friend Tamsin very bravely decided to have her wedding on a beach in Dumfries and Galloway at the end of April. Considering the continuously cold weather and snow fall that has only just begun to recede, the day in question could not have been any better.

The grey and wet morning gradually blew away and by the afternoon we were left with blue skies, no rain and no wind. Perfect conditions for a small gathering of people on the beach, to witness a fabulous union of two lovely friends. Having met in the Antarctic it was a happy coincidence that they were to wed on World Penguin Day.

Idyllic.


Beautiful people.

Continuing in my crafty ways I also made their wedding gift.


Significant places of love!

I also made a picture for my Mum, cos I love her too.

Rainbow season.

Not really had much to blog about recently, must either do more or find more to grumble about!

Anyway, the thing that has made me smile the most this last week has been the fantastic rainbow shows. I must have seen at least half a dozen or more, but sadly not at photo opportunistic moments, until today. This beauty appeared while on my run this morning.




Not only did I see this beautiful arch of colour but I rescued a baby lamb that was stranded on the wrong side of a fence. The mother and lamb reunion made me happy. 

I had the chance a few weeks ago to visit, St Serf's church in Perthshire, which is not very exciting in itself but it houses the Dupplin Cross which is fairly impressive and quite interesting. Worth a look if you are passing.

Sometimes.

Sometimes there are days that feel like this,



Then somebody gives you one of these,



Then you smile and the day seems not too bad. Thanks T x.

Crafty Corner.

The emergence of Pinterest on the old interwebnet has reignited my love of doing crafty stuff. If you have not come across the wonders of Pinterest yet, among other things it is an amazing online source of all things creative. I have used it to design two canvas paintings for my newly furnished living room, and in doing so my love of the arts and crafts has been reborn.

I introduced my friend Beth to the site and she has been hooked ever since. So much so she made me an amazing picture, again for my living room. I was not only extremely touched by the gesture, but fell in love with the picture instantly. So much so that I made a similar one today for someone else.

I had forgotten how therapeutic I find making pretty things. Simple pleasures and all that and what better way to spend a very cold, dreary, rainy, snowy Saturday.

Apologies for the fuzzy photos, I was being lazy and just used my phone.

Finished.

Thanks again to the wonderful Beth for her gift and the inspired Pinterest find.
