Half-Term Happenings

It's half term here at the moment and it's been a lovely week so far.  A good mix of busy and restful, I alway enjoy it best when we get that balance right.

Hubs is off this week too so we've done a few slightly more exciting things than we usually might.  We popped into London the other day for something to do and to show Little Miss some sights.  We took her to Hamley's, she still just young enough for that to be exciting... "7 floors of toys, Mum!"

We walked around a little and saw a few of the sights, St Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, the Monument (for the Great Fire of London), the Shard, the Walkie Talkie, the London Eye. (There are a lot of buildings that look like 'things' in London now it seems.)  We went to the V&A and saw the 'Future Starts Here' exhibition about how coming technology is likely to affect our lives (scary) and finished the whole day off with a slap up meal.  Fun.

Yesterday we rested up and had a lovely cozy day in and that was just as enjoyable in an entirely different way.  I'm spreading my crafty time about working on various wip's as the mood is taking me and finding myself really loving each one of them at the moment.  I always love my making, of course, but there seems something especially joyful and satisfying about the things I have on the go just now. 

I've got the weaving off the loom this week too.  That was fun, watching all my freshly created fabric peel off the roller!  I've soaked and dried it, so now I've just got to pluck up the courage to sew it...  

I might try and do that today, while Little Miss is up tending horses at the stables.  We'll see.

I'll just leave you with a few assorted snaps from the week.  I'll be back next week, probably with a podcast, so I'll see you then.   I have got a few messages and things that have come through, but I'll get back on top of all that when things are back to normal next week.

In the meantime, enjoy your week and your half-term, if you're having one!
