How young we were

Today is our 43rd wedding anniversary - a lot of water under the bridge since that day, hopefully lots more waterto come yet - but not in the form of floods or cyclones!  We are going out to dinnertonight to celebrate - that is a rare occurrence for us, we usually eat at home.

I seem to have been dithering for the last couple of months, doing a bit of this and a bit of that but never really finishing anything - my creativity seems to be in limbo just at present.  I have played with felt making again and I am very happy with this piece.  I think I like making felt with bubble wrap, it is so quick.
I have joined the group doing online lessons from the latest book by Maggie Grey and Isobel Hall - haven't got far with that either, but should be able to show something in a couple of days, it is fun.

  3. Hello again Robin, sorry for my absence........internet issues in part. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you both, and what a lovely photograph taken on your wedding day. I hope you both enjoy good health, and many years more.

    Love the felting, and good luck with the online classes. I think I'll have to forego some of the internet experimentations this year. Can't wait to see what you turn out.

  6. Happy Anniversary to you both Robin. That's a lovely photo. I love the piece of felt you made - the colours are gorgeous. I have joined Maggie's online class too, but haven't done anything yet. Maybe today - though if it stays dry I might try a bit of gardening.
