Savouring the sea dipping

What a short but 'feel good' break! We headed down to Bournemouth on Friday and spent all morning measuring the beach with our shell-tickled feet (sand-tickled in Paul's case lol) and the afternoon was sea-dipping time for me! Wow!,jumping over the waves was just like when I was little! That simple joy of playing with the waves brought a pleasant feeling of being in connection with the sea in such an entertaining way! Loved it! It's an unexplainable feeling of freedom and such a relaxing passtime, it's like blending with nautical nature! The simple fun of leaping water loops!.. so pleased to have that joy captured on camera!

Textile tweeties

I'm a big fan of thise little cuties I created yesterday evening.

It's curious how they almost come to life once sewn, the texture is pleasure to the fingers and they are so unexpectedly expressive! I can't wait to find them a nesting album! To start with, I wasn't sure if they were going to be wow or not, but as I went on sewing, I became more confident in the newly created shapes.

Next I will be experimenting with flower shapes, maybe owl ones as well!?...
