Unusual art.

Last weekend our church had it's annual day out and BBQ at Holton Lee, which is an old farm which is now used for retreats and a special place for those with disability's to be creative and chill out a bit.
It's a wonderful place in the peaceful backwaters of Poole Harbour. What caught my eye was this sculpture of the British Isles made out of bits of wheelchairs. It's so good and decorates the wall outside the toilet! I believe there is a lot more art work to be seen but we were only using a small part of the centre.

Highland Pottery puchases

Finally I am getting around to blogging again! These are the two bits that tempted me in the Highland Pottery, it is very expensive so I'm afraid both of these came from the bargain bin! They have a flaw on them but it's not immediately obvious so I'm not bothered!
They are reminiscent of the area we stayed in so have great holiday memories.
I have done no sewing for weeks now, my family have all returned from Uni, Marines, etc..(with a huge amount of STUFF!) and the house has become full of clutter and I just feel snowed under by it all and don't want to cause more mess with my stuff being out too. My machine is still being mended after a wheel/cog broke inside it somewhere but when it comes back I think I will put it away until there is space again! Meanwhile I will enjoy looking at what others are doing.
