Last week the weather here was wonderful, I spent as many afternoons in the garden as I could. The front was so untidy it needed sorting out. I've done half but now its cooler and not so nice outside.
Being in the front garden you get to catch up with the neighbours who have been hidden away inside all winter, but you don't make the progress on the weeding. When its done in the next couple of days I think I'll add a photo or two but not until then.
The sewing has gone crazy in the last couple of weeks, with loads of new jobs. A number of things are finished now too. My skirt for my City and Guilds is looking good.
I'm not a fan of sculpture but for part of the course I had to complete an abstract sculpture, it was a challenge for me, but with Daniel my nephews help, who supplied the pipe, I managed to rise to the challenge.
I started with a piece of bent pipe, cleaned it with wet and dry paper, then sprayed it with silver metal paint and started the process of wrapping it with wools.
The finished sculpture does not look much to me, infact I was surprise when Alison the tutor on my course said it was fine, just what she wanted!! I'm still finding it hard to understand how this fits into a Tailoring course, but life is full of surprises.
