Getting creative . . .

Since I'd cancelled my craft-fair at the weekend (just as well as youngest kiddo was full  of the cold) I had a little time on Thursday to play around with my tweedy-scrappy flowers.  Eventually I had made enough to make a little mosaic image with them . . .

I sort of like seeing them as a whole like this  - the top three flowers were made into pendants with some hessian string attached (the flowers all have felt backing so no itchy necks!) and the rest have brooch  pins added - I think they may be something I'll continue to make, either for sale in their own right, or for using as embellishments on zipper pouches, etc.

We've  had quite a relaxing weekend and seemed to be the only place in the country where the rain didn't make an appearance :) 

Here's some more of 'Little S's' shots (I think he may have been clocking my own love of wild flower photography closer than I thought!) . . . 

I like how the clouds are a little blurry in the background here, and the blade of grass caught in the foreground . . . 

Some lovely cuckoo flowers (Lady's Smocks) - my favourite!

Wild crocus - nice shot :)

A lovely view of the sea, just a few yards along from our house . . . .

and a cute shot of a fishing boat, in Broad Bay - just off the local pier. 

Perhaps this is something I could keep him amused with over the summer holidays - photographer in residence, hehe!  Knowing him, he'll probably try and charge me an extortionate fee for his services - typical 10 year old!!!

Not sure what's planned for this week, I'm going with the creative flow I think - the boys will be on school holidays in two weeks and my creative/productive timetable will  probably go right out the window - better make the most of the time I have left!

Back later in the week I hope - have a  good one :)
