Getting Organised

Well it's been as busy week in lots of ways. First of all I signed up for two new courses starting in the New Year. Initially I signed up for Willowing's Life Book course which lasts all year. It seems like a great way to celebrate my 60th year with lots of creative stuff. Then I signed up for Kat's Eye View intoductory photography course 'Find your Eye'. I think this will be more within my comfort zone as I am a lot more confident with the camera, but time will tell!

One of the really good things about Life Book is that you get an extra class included that you can start straight away so I am taking Magical Mythical Makings. Not really quite my thing in some ways but excellent teaching and lots of new ideas and techniques. In particular I have been introduced to water soluble crayons which I had never even heard of and which are just fab!

Also this weekend I have been rearranging our study / spare bedroom to become more of an art / craft space. I found my Dad's old desktop easel in the attic, which was really good as he died around 15 years ago and I wasn't sure if I still had it, and rearranged the desk and filing cabinets to make space for a small art table (IKEA here I come!) There isn't as much room as I would like but hopfully I can make the space work for me.

The absolutely best thing to happen this week, however, is that my son passed his driving test - Yeah!

Finally I am just going to add a couple of photos from last weeks beach trip as I think they are rather fun.
