As you can see, the path was completely blocked, quit a big tree to succumb to the wind.
When I got to Freeport I went to reception to report it and they said they would contact the council.
The course was great, just two of us and we had to paint and highlight the things we had decorated last time. I opt d for the nite, as I have a friend in mind, but the black finish is very antique looking and impressive so will do a box in that finish another time.
Very different to the coloured beads etc but a great effect I think. We finished early so Mags let us have a go at a ‘doodle’ card. Literally scribbling a shape and then adding some decoration. Loved doing this and it was so easy.
Tina came up to meet me, we called in to the Gift shop and bought another fairy house, I had really liked this boot when I got the other one.
Then we made out way to Reighton nurseries stopping for lunch at a farm cafe on th way, very tasty it was too. It was raining quit heavily by th time we were at th nursery, but we got quite a lot of plants as good prices, so I know what I will be doing when it stops raining! Tina found a cafe to go to and we set the Satan’s and off we went. It took us through a huge caravan park and then we came to a stop as th last part was no entry. Although it was raining we set off down a really steep hill towards the beach. Before we got to the bottom we could see it wasn’t open so we made our damp way, more like dripping actually, back to the car.
May go to the craft outlet tomorrow lunchtime a Aimee is giving a sewing demonstration.
It’s a shame when trees get blown over like that, but I suppose it must have had a weakness. I’d have loved to have seen you on your hands and knees crawling under it :-)
ReplyDeleteI really like how those boxes have turned out. I definitely prefer that to how they were originally, but as you know I struggle trying to visualise things. I look forward to seeing a black version now.
The scribbly card is lovely. Just my sort of style. Very effective.
The little shopping and eating trip sounded fun, apart from the getting wet bit! Worth the trip out just to get boot though. I’d say that was more of an elf house than a fairies :-)
The elves will be welcome in the garden! On the whole a good day, sometimes I think I will do things again after a class but very often don’t, but I am really taken with the decorated boxes, need to start looking for broken jewellery, clocks etc now!
ReplyDeleteThe houses near the path were lucky, their f nice broke the fall of the tree and didn’t give way.
