This morning after Popmaster Scarlett and I walked down to the village to send some post, collect some stuff from the freezer and drop some stuff off at the freezer. We bumped into Neil for a chat on the way back.
Back at home we checked on various broody birds and then had lunch. Ali called in for a cup of tea / catch up chat as her parents left yesterday after nearly a month here so she is back in the village again after weeks at Kilmory catching newly born deer calves and tagging them / taking samples and collecting data on them. Nice to see her 🙂
When Ali left there was lots of sunshine and wind power so Scarlett and I decided to do some stuff with feathers. We made some hat pins, some hair clips and some keyrings. I labelled them all up, finished off a fourth braided wristband and took them all down to the shop with Ady when he went to feed the animals. I need to find a better way to display them.
Later I had a walk with Bonnie around the north side trail collecting willow to make some hoops for making dreamcatchers as that keeps coming up as a pintrest idea whenever I search for feather crafts. I have plenty of wool scraps and beads and an unlimited supply of feathers and willow so have made a couple of those to further adorn tomorrow. If nothing else they will look nice in the shop hanging from the ceiling. I like the idea of a good mix of stuff in there for this first season at least.
Showers and hairbrushing for Scarlett and I, leftover curry from Saturday night for Ady and I for dinner and so I made a small batch of pizza dough for the kids to have pizzas. We watched Lost and the kids had an 11pm solstice full moon bounce on the trampoline. Kira stayed out til about 1230am, I was just starting to fret a little when her eyes appeared glowing at the window. She was sleeping under my side of our bed but the last couple of nights has curled up with Davies in his bed. I am a little jealous…
