Visit by a friend :)

If you remember a post from two years ago you will recognize this tree and my pose.

Just a reminder of what I looked like then

Fabulous patterns on the Yew bark

Me looking a bit disheveled :)

The lovely friend :)

Needlefelting workshop at blue ginger galley with Celestine and The Hare

So my friend Di came to stay and we went off to blue ginger gallery for a needle felting workshop with Celestine and the Hare

And this is what happened :)

Not quite sure what I am going to make at this point!

Yes, decided now ...

This is my end creature - a reasonably faithful representation of the late, beloved Monty puss

Di made the very handsome fox :)

As always, an excellent day with Karin Celestine and blue ginger

Chicks update :)

 The four Serama chicks are doing well, 8 weeks old now

 and yes I was correct, the two black ones are males and the two blonde ones are females.

We did some Hapa Zome

Fabulous weekend as always - hard work but great fun.

Back to Archery

After a very long lay off due to injury I re started Archery again recently, with lighter poundage limbs and less stiff arrows. Tonight I finally tried my previous set up with my previous  poundage limbs and my lovely arrows :)

And this was the result :)

No pain, either, which is good
