Windy day

Yesterday we had some really dramatic wind, living on the coast you can get some exciting weather! I had to get a bus from where I work to a little hamlet which is as close as I can get to where my husband works at this time of year. He is usually waiting for me but yesterday he got held up by customers and I had to stand in the rain on this deserted corner, getting odd looks from a man across the way. It was chucking it down when I got off the bus, luckily it stopped and was just windy!

I didn't take this picture yesterday, actually I realise it's about 4 years old! but it shows the dramatic waves we get in the harbour, hopefully the people and lamp posts give an idea of the height of this wave!

I have done some more work on the moon piece but I haven't taken any more pics yet, again, not sure about the other side matching the first.


Here's a pair of earrings I'm going to post on Folksy today.

At last

here, at last, is a further stage in the devlopment of the Moon piece. I've now undone the right hand end 4 times! I was determined to actually add something new to it last night so stayed up much later than I should considering the clock change!

I decided that the lace looked wrong flat so I've wound a strand of beads around it. The strand is actually attached at the edge and a couple of points on the lace so it stays where I want it and doesn't just gather up at one end. I quite like it but I think there may be a lot more to come. I bought some more silver clay the other day with a voucher I got from Spoilt Rotten Beads. I have plans for little silver beads, or some such with lace patterns pressed into them. I shall probably have to have one of those trademark fringes along the bottom edge with the above beads on it.

Lots of primroses and primulas flowering in the garden and the first actual daffodil flowers, I believe we also have a few celandine growing on our steps, the steps are gravel, shallow wooden edged flat bits with gravel on rather than having a slope up to the door. Means that seeds take a good hold there most of the time!
