Silly Stickers

Here are the first few pictures I drew to use the stickers I showed you yesterday from The Works (Oh I LOVE that shop!!).

Celebrity Hedgehog and Tree Detective in disguise...

and well-dressed but slightly sinister cat!

Just draw the pictures (or trace them if drawing is not your thing) and add the puffy stickers!
More next time  : )

What Would You Do With These?

I bought these from a shop called The Works (https://www.theworks.co.uk/ ), not knowing what I intended to do with them.

They are black, plastic and padded.

I'll show you next time what I did with them... What would YOU do?

Curvy Bendy Architecture

Do you know, I've been blogging so long now, I can't remember if I've shown you these pics already, but if so, probably not in this combination.
And they bear looking at again anyway!

A tube tunnel looking like somewhere from inside the Tardis.

And window and roof-y bits from other areas of London.

Walk into the Light! One of the tunnel crossings near Greenwich, I think.

There's always something odd to photograph in London.

Knitted Food

While on holiday on the Isle of Wight and visiting the museum in the grounds of the ruined Carisbrooke Castle, along with the ancient books and military equipment, there was this plate of knitted food.

I did not expect that!
But I must say I was tempted to get the needles out (or in my case the crochet hook) and have a go when I got back home!

Funking the Sea

I haven't done any Circular or Tiny planets Apps for a while so here's a seaside one to celebrate Summer.

And this is the same picture just turned the other way out.

Its Durdle Door in Dorset and is a beautiful if steep beach to get to, everyone has to use the same tiny winding path whether they're going up or down and rain can make it very slippery, but worth the climb if you're up for that kind of thing.

Arundel Castle

I'm a sucker for a castle.

And you know by now that I love a panorama. So here is the view from the top of the keep at Arundel Castle, looking like an amphitheatre in Rome. If you click on it you can see a larger view I think.

It's a long way up (or down, however you view it) but you don't have to go up there if you're not keen on heights. I take photos both because I like to and to show the members of my family who would like to see it but don't like to be up that high!

Inside the Armoury.

The Courtyard

And a lovely imposing panoramic castle view to finish!

Well worth a visit.

The Last of the Fighting Prncesses

Here sre the final pictures of the bead and wire girls now they are in situ.

The swords are cocktail sticks that have been incredibly useful for craft projects (for princesses and ninjas) and also for general stabbing of food: there's something adventurous about stabbing your own food with a miniature sword that both children and adults have enjoyed!
