Winter Lanterns ... Found photos!

I took part in a project in Edinburgh as part of a centre for adults with learning difficulties, back in the early 90s, and as well as working along side the users, produced a lantern panel of my own ...



the images were projected onto cotton using photographs we took on each other, and then we used batik to create the colourful images ...


That's me on the right, just a wee slip of a girl back then!

Putting the Cute into Balaclavas!

WE were recently blessed with a set of patterns for balaclavas, many of them jester style, and Daisy was very taken with them and of course then the other girls were too!

Here is Daisy, modelling the hat that Matty chose ... Mary chose the pink fabric and so we used t hat for embellishments to make each one unique!



Mary wears her own, and Matty wears Daisy's, all featuring ribbing made from a recycled T-shirts that was getting small for mary!


And we were warmer on bonfire night too!

Snow in Weymouth ....

so we went out into the snow, after breakfast ...



daisy helps make the head of a little snow man, with a big carrot ...



there, isn't he great?



then we came in and hit some innocent ginger-bread men to make some biscuit cake ...



then Steve came home early, and took the girls outside again ...



and created William Tell in the back garden ...
