21st Centuary here she comes

 


At last I have got Carol (link to her blog) to try her hand at blogging as she has been thinking about it for a long time now.
We have just spent a lovely two weeks holiday with them here in the beautiful island of Tenerife. Like last year we were out every day feeling very adventurous. This year we used the Titsa bus, a very useful way to get about the island just get yourself a Bono bus ticket and off you go. However we did invest in a couple of boat trips out to see the Dolphins and the Pilot Whales. The first boat trip was for Carol, her husband Jim and myself, the next trip was on a Pirate ship called the Peter Pan 1. This trip was for the princess and the wild child. Both these trips were fantastic of course the highlight on each was seeing the Dolphins and Whales. The trip to end all trips was a trip to La Gomera . What an experience that was.. the scenery was out of this world .
Included in the trip was the ferry over then a bus trip round the island with six stops our lunch and the ferry back to Tenerife . The bus that picked us up at 7:30 in the morning dropped us at the pick-up point at 7 :00 pm at the end of the trip. That was the best trip of our holiday.

The stash does it again!





Again I came across these tucked in the back of a drawer where I had dropped them after going to my favourite Chinese Warehouse. What a find they are 1/2 inch discs of a cream coloured shell. They are so shiney, smooth and lovely to wear. The necklace is so simple. It just shows less is more.













Once again I am showing you one of the books from my library. This book is outstanding. I love Diane Fitzgerald's work. I have made a lot of thing out of this book.In fact before  got the book I had a real dislike for peyote stitch but now that I understand it better I have no problem with it.
