And now for something woody . . . .

We had Christmas in Germany, near Munich, and one of our trips was to a Wildpark at Poing.  A delightful bird feeder caught the eye and gave Derek inspirsation . . .

. . .  so far so good . . . 


Success!, but so far only a robin and two blue tits have dropped by, oh, and a squirrel.  But I don't think we'll ever get a nuthatch, not being in a forest like the inspiration source. 


And sawing up salvaged timber for the woodburner yields some interesting results: 


Turn it round:- 

  
 I think I should have rotated this one.




Valentine's Day coming up.





And the next project . . . .  trouble is, builders round here don't have discarded bits of log, onlly pallets and unwanted roof beams and bits.

Thank you so much Sew1knit2. How nice that you enjoy my blog and how kind of you to let me know in this way!


I hereby nominate my choice of 10 - I could have picked 20, so don't feel bad anyone, please, whom I don't mention, I appreciate all the stitching and art blogs I read regularly. There isn't always enough time to leave a comment, unfortunately.











All these have a good variety of pictures / types of work / bits of stitching / etc, and have me hunting for needle and thread or getting the paints out. or wanting to, only its time to get the tea or something! Any of these will feed my soul a bit. Thank you to all of you for blogging as you do. And because I don't like to do a blog entry without a picture, here's one of my favourite views - Chesil Beach in Dorset, from a viewpoint high up the hill at Portland. Nothing to do with anything! I just like it.
