Here is the sea glass we collected on our last trip to the beach. I still have no idea what to do with it all. I've had a chat with a glass crafter about UV glue and allsorts but I'm still no further forward.
Until we decide what to do with it, it is kept in a glass jar on the windowsil to catch the light. That will do me for the time being.
A simple felt and button heart in pink and aqua for Valentine's Day.
Self portrait and I've hidden my face quite nicely. I could do with a manicure though!
Today was the last day of the school Christmas holidays so we spent a few hours in Tenby. It was a beautiful afternoon with a setting sun, empty beaches, no wind and no rain - result! I love these houses which back onto the beach. What a fab location and beautiful gardens too.
I also took the above photo which very nearly made it as today's main shot. It has lots of features I like: sunset - check, pretty sea view - check, interesting street furniture - check. But in my haste to get one more photo before jumping in the car meant that I dind't notice the great big bin and pole slap bang in the middle of the shot. What a numpty! But I do love a bit of solar flare, I'm definitely going to try and capture that again. Next time without the ugly interloper in shot.
I'm cutting back on my caffeine intake and as a coffee addict (no wonder I have so many Dowe Egberts coffee jars!) it has been hard! I've rediscovered peppermint tea and tonight decided to mix peppermint tea and hot chocolate. The result was quite nice - a bit like a hot minty Aero.
I've also been experimenting with the effects on Picnik. The one I have applied is 1960s, not sure if I like it though. My iPhone is not working properly at the moment and I'm missing the Instagram and Hipstamatic apps.
PS. I know, I need to get out more!
A Sunday morning dog walk in the woods. It was a beautiful walk as it wasn't raining, for a change! I heard 2 woodpeckers tapping away to each other, as well as lots of birds chirping away. Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of one of the woodpeckers as I don't have a telephoto lens and my wildlife photography is pretty poor! I only managed to get the dog in shot because I bribed her with dog treats (see the little orange and green things between my feet).
