I've always loved being on the water - when I was twelve, I learned to sail in a Wayfarer dinghy and spent every summer for the next 5 years enthusiastically freezing to death in Dover harbour. Luckily, hubs is fairly keen on floating holidays and so we have rented a canal boat on the Kennet and Avon and chartered a yacht in the Greek Islands. There's something hugely relaxing about just watching the water go by.
Even the crafting has had a watery slant to it today - just a little peek, because it's a surprise...

I love the water too :)
Your craft project looks a bit like something I am working on:)
But I bet they are completely different :)
Happy Sunday!
I have a great children's book called _Esmerelda Ahoy!_ about some siblings who buy a little sailboat and spend their hols on the Thames. Your post today reminded me of that, and of _Swallows and Amazons_. Love reading those types of stories, though I tend toward motion sickness in real life :(
Ooops! It's _Esmeralda Ahoy!_.
Your project looks intriguing! I can't wait to see it!
you are always working on somehting when do you get the time. also m y son is screaming for the puppet theatre you made. I have the book - roughly how long did it take??????????????? Enjoy the sunshine
Water is my favorite element and always makes me feel as though I can conquer any problem or worry in the world.
I love that quote by Mr. Toad in The Wind in the Willows: "...there is nothing--absolutely nothing--half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."
It will be fun to discover your secret projects.
you have had great weather for a trip down the thames, lets hope its stays like this!
