West Yorkshire

A little while back I went to see my friend Jo Blaker in Yorkshire. She's moved up there to start her new life, leaving the big smoke behind. She and her boyfriend have a lush allotment and seem to spend their time making art, growing vegetables and drinking real ale. Nice life I think.

On my first evening in West Yorkshire one of Jo's friends had made a mix cd and put it on in the pub. We danced infront of the bar in the empty pub and the barman came from behind the bar, took of his shoes and danced with us. A friendly place is Huddersfield.

At the end of the night two of the group began singing folk songs outside and we stood around silently listening to their wonderful voices in the darkness. It was lovely.

This is my new penknife necklace which I love. Nothing to do with Yorkshire but I wanted to show you.

I've been daydreaming a lot about swimming, particularly night swimming. Oh to go night swimming!

This picture is kind of like this one I did a while back

Waterlog is a wonderful book by Roger Deakin which I am slowly reading over a long time.

Hope you are good and well. x x

Not enough time for colour this weekend. Hope each of you had a good one. x

All Aboard!

My friends Vanessa and Craig are getting married tomorrow. Vanessa asked me to make their wedding invite and she had the great idea of doing a double decker bus (because they'll be having one at the wedding) with a view of the village hall inside. They got them printed really nicely and this is the one they sent me. Right, I'm off to the Lakes with my big, orange chiffon dress! Have a good weekend all. x

Glitz Vans

I made spangle sparkle glitsy trainers! There's pencils, a frog, scissors, trainers and cola bottles on these babies.

At the Weekend

This is what I did at the weekend. Sorry I disappeared for two months - Daniel and I broke up and things got kind of busy - a trip to the Isle of Skye, a trip to Yorkshire, a trip to Liverpool, a wedding in Manchester, a wedding in Bath, my parents visiting London, my best friend Joseph moving into the house. It's been kind of crazy but all is well in the land of Today I Saw.

Hope all is good and well with you guys. I'm looking forward to catching up with people's blogs as I've hardly been online at all recently. I have a couple fun things to show so will be back soon. x x
