Lets Take A Walk

Got some Celebrations left, don't be tempted to eat them.  Cut some tulle into squares and make some table gifts or add a hanger and add them to the tree.  You can really go to town and embellish as much or as little as you want.  I kept mine fairly simple.


I used some florist wire to tie them at the top and then added a ribbon and a bell.  Simple but look quite effective.




Its quite cold out but thankfully not a lot of wind so 'don your hat and gloves and jump into the car I will take you down for a walk at the Port to prepare for my next project.  Take some deep breaths and clear your lungs, the beauty is quite breath taking.





Here I am, looking for the perfect stones.  Some are better than others and if you look a little closer it  can be quite surprising.




Take a walk with me and let me show you the other side of the wall.





As the sun shows its face through the clouds its glows on the ever moving sea giving dappled shadows onto the tidal flow.




Not a lot of wind so the waves were quite gentle and not the usual thrashing against the harbour wall or surrounding rocks.   The perfect day for collecting a few rocks.  Although always mindful of the sea and the damage it can do.



Shall I give you a clue...



I will share the project in my next post.

As always I thank you for your support, your encouragement and friendship.

See you soon.

  1. Tease! Is it maybe the project you mentioned in an email to me? If so I am really looking forward to seeing it.

    You certainly live in a beautiful place.

    And those decorations with bells on - brilliant! Super mini treat for children.

  2. It's always lovely to see your photographs of the sea. I can almost smell the salty air and it looks like you had great fun searching for rocks.
    I'm looking forward to seeing the results of your new project. X

  3. Wow, what a beautiful wild landscape ! Love that !
    I think I know what you are doing with the pebbles you transform them ! I collected pebbles and transformed them into cats. They sold very well on our exhibition better than the paintings !

  5. Thankyou for taking us on the walk, I was imagining the sound of the waves and the cold air, lovely! A lovely walk is good for the soul. Is it on the Christmas theme with the stones I wonder?

  11. Ohhhhhh, your walk, along the sea!!! Oh how wonderful! How very, very lucky you are, to live, where you can easily do this!!!

    We have to drive for miles, and miles, and miles, to reach the ocean. And we just don't drive like that, anymore. We miss it so much. Especially at a Full Moon time!

    Oh seeing the Full Moon rise, over the ocean! Do you do this, sometimes?

    Happy Halloween/Samhain!

    ✨🎃👻🎃✨

  18. I'm not much at crafts but I'm going to steal your idea of tulle wrapped Chocolates. The grands can have fun helping me. Maybe we should tie them onto the tree!

    I'm so curious what you plan on doing with the painted rocks!!!

  19. I love all of your walks along the beach. The sea calls to me and I always enjoy your photos be they wild and stormy or calm like today.
    It will be fun to see what you do with the rocks. I love to find smooth ones by the ocean and then crochet around them for paperweights or doorstops, depending on the size.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

  20. I'm always up for chalk painting anything so can't wait to see how you finish those up! By the way, if you have the inclination...could you do a post sometime on looking back at your decision to uproot yourselves and follow your dream of moving to the seaside that you love? My husband and I are considering doing just that thing, and I could use some words of advice from someone who has done it. I'll take the good and bad if you're so inclined to share it.

  21. This is going to be interesting! Your walk on the beach looking for rocks must’ve been exhilarating, which is the nice way of saying it had to be cold out there!

  25. What beauty surrounds you! Your pictures of the sea and the clouds are amazing. Now, I am looking forward to seeing how these rocks turn out. :~)

  26. Oh, this is clever. Wrapping up treats as little gifts so you are not tempted to nibble them. I'm totally doing that.
