Knitting a Giant Poem (by )

I found this interesting project run by the Poetry Society to knit a giant poem - this is so cool and fits straight into the mixing things, topics, mediums up all together and seeing what you get!

They still need people to knit the blanks squares.

Rainbow Flower Party Platter (by )

Below is the picture of a paint oven that me and Alaric constructed out of tin foil and lamps with the old filiment bulbs in - I have improved it since he went to London and have invoked a fan heater too.

The reason is that I have made this rainbow flower party platter centre piece and want to use it for my friends 40th birthday celebration that is happening on Saturday!

It is made of papier mache and so was a bit soggy it is a lot less soggy now and I'm hoping will hold up during the party - it is going to be a portfolio piece for me as I want to go for guild membership.

Still the result of all this is that Dad has a new best friend called Foil

When I finially get round to it I will put how I made it onto Salaric Craft. I also want to vanish it etc...

And a Horde Descends (by )

30 cubs and 18 odd scouts descended on us for their end of term BBQ and backwoods cooking!

Jean thought this was great 🙂

2 rogues together

Edam sponsored the event and provided these great chiefs hats which I sort of made everyone including dad wear 🙂

I had to include this picture of JEan and Al - Alaric was marching along trying to get everything ready and Jean took up his perposful stride 🙂

The only issue with the event was that obviously there were alot of cars involved and so we were on the watch to make sure Barbara's lawn wasn't ripped up with manuvours.

Barbara’s 75th Birthday (by )

Barbara has turned 75! three quarters of a centry so we baked her cake and made some sandwitches and told her to invite some people to dinner.

7 cake with light candles 5 with light candles

The cake was chocolate cake with lots of topping as she had said she likes lots of topping! I also put chocolate chips and things on it 🙂 It was obviously a 75 - Barbara confessed she was scared I'd made a watering can or something tacky like that :/

The cake went down well even if Barbara had phoned Mary in a panic and got her to bring a cake round as I had planned to make the cake Sunday morning so it would be nice and fresh and as there was no obvious finished cake Sunday morning Barbara was panicking she'd have nothing to feed her guests.

(we were at a Wedding the night before in London!)

Barbara's friend Hanna brought a balloon round for Jean which was an instant hit!

And then it was presant time!

The Dutera is a pretty plant but came with a warning that it has poisonous bits so to watch Jean.

It seemed to go very well.
