What a lovely start ... and a farewell

Holidays are here and I already feel lazy.

I had to go into work for a short visit this morning but now - I am officially OFF

 

We had a lazy frap a lazy mooch round some shops and a lazy lunch and a lazy afternoon. I can see a theme developing here.

I have new crafting to share too ...

I had to say farewell to a much loved colleague this week (though I will still see him often)

I wanted to make him something special but I found it really hard to create something for a man. I am so used to covering everything with flowers and butterflies that it was hard to embellish without them. But I was quite pleased with what I made int he end.

He is a chemist first and foremost  - hence the design.

It is a canvas for the wall with lots of distressing and stitching and stuff.

 

 

It is always a bit worrying when you give a homemade gift in case people don't like it - but thankfully he did

 

 

 

 

and the card was - of course - homemade too

 

 

Sometimes people come in to your life and make a real difference and whilst they may move they are never really gone.

 

Today I am thankful for

• friendship and laughter and support
• farewells that are not forever
• holidays

 

 

and finally - a beautiful video or two to share

Congratulations on making it through another tremendous year! I know your students benefited completely. You had a lot to deal with personally, and you were a trooper through it all. You deserve a happy, lazy, beautiful summer break! Enjoy :-)
