Time to get things finished




Always nice to get an order through Etsy to start the weekend

But on with the serious job of getting a some projects that I'd started, completed

First I had a whole bunch of flowers to complete



I found some Sand Dollars that I had collected, these made a great centre
As did the mini bark chips and some buttons I had laying around

Feeling pleased with myself, I played for a few minutes and made this little piece 



I am always amazed at how some simple ideas really come together

Next were the Christmas (it physically pains me to say that word in September!) wreaths



They turned out pretty well and I've already had an enquiry about them.





Sadly my weeks holiday is over so back to the real world of work in the morning, adieu!

We're home!

 
A very restful three nights on beautiful Quadra Island
Lucky enough to get out on the sea in Kayaks which was great fun
Arriving back on a driftwood strewn beach, what a result!

Only a small stash of goodies to smuggle back across the border into Campbell River.
 
Happy Man

Quadra

 
"Memories of Summer" September 2015
 
Off for a stay-cation on Quadra Island for three nights
A little cabin booked on Gowland Harbour
Hoping to Kayak and beach comb at the spit
(I am excited to go to the spit as it is usually piled high with driftwood, like a kind of heaven for me!)

End of Summer........Bah!



Mid week and we are on day five of the long awaited rain
People at work are convinced that summer is over
No, I say! The forecast for the weekend is warm and sunny
Hooray because I will be on holiday for a week!

I made this little beauty on the weekend
"The Trinity" (boat, house & lighthouse) has attracted lots of attention

Working on some tiny boats and some more houses
I am planning to do a craft show in the fall, but this does fill me with dread
What if I go to all that trouble and no one buys anything?
I will have to give this some careful consideration!
