Inspiration

We all draw inspiration from different sources.  How about from a view like this?

This is the view from the classroom windows of Ysgol Llanelltyd (Llanelltyd School) just outside Dollgellau.  It is stunning, and that was what greeted us when I recently took a workshop for the children.  What a delightful bunch!  It was hastily arranged as it was an afterthought by the headmistress.  We were visiting the area for another (adult) teaching session, and couldn’t fail to be inspired by the area.  However, the children went for something more colourful.  Each had half an hour on the embellisher, and here are some of the results.

By the time the session was finished they all either had a pocket for their mobile phone or a little purse for pencils or precious things.  They had fun – but frankly, so did I!  Didn’t they do well.

If you would like to see what else we got up to while we were away the saga continues here.

Best Foot Forward

I promised you more pictures from our workshop yesterday, here they are

Aren’t they fun?  Well done everyone.  We also saw something really interesting, you can read about that here.

Seeing Spots

It’s late at night, and I haven’t been home long.  We had a wonderful day at Busy Bees, and the little boots are just adorable.  I thought I’d show you one pair, just as a taster.  I’ll be writing more about the day both here and on this blog too.  It was an eventful day, so warrants at least two posts.

Aren’t these cute?

Just wait until you see the others.

More soon, I promise.  (The posts are now up, here and here)
