Two Pieces of Pottery I made for gifts for our Son's across the Pond in Guernsey

I was unable to share with you these two pieces of pottery I made for our Son's birthday's who live across the Pond on the Island of Guernsey till they had been received by our Son's as they were a surprise.

I had to double pack them a box within a box and lots of styrofoam peanuts ...I shipped them last Monday & they received on the Thursday all in one piece..PHEW !!!!
The post office sent them very quickly I am most impressed.

This piece is a Bird Feeder that I made for our youngest Ryan ...he loves his garden and feeding the birds ..he loves it ....so mission accomplished ..

I had fun making it for him ...I think I will have to make one for myself now

I loved the little roof ....I gently scalloped the edge and it's so cute ...

When I cut our the holes for the birds to feed from I just pushed in the 'tongue' that was left instead of cutting it off and that will help hold the seed in

Little wooden pegs that I bought from Michaels Craft store , in their wood section, and I treated them with a clear weather proofer spray ...they are then Super Glued in to the holes I made for them ..there were several designs I could have chosen from but I liked these the best.

Wayne loves to knit and crochet ..he is very good at it ....so I made him an unique Yarn Bowl ...and played around with a crazy glaze .

He just loves it ...it will take, as you can see a large ball of wool.

This is how it looked before it went in to the kiln for the final firing .
Wayne has a cat so I cut out a shape of a cat for him to feed his wool through.

The 'buttons' or 'nails' I did in Saturated gold

I carved his initials in it 'W H'

The inside (the base was a bright blue it didn't photograph well.

I made different size and shaped holes for yarn or knitting needles to be put through

I loved making these gifts for them both ...

It's such a joy to give a gift that is so personal

Thanks for popping by

Happy Days to you all

Harry & Meghan get married ...How I saw it through my eyes !

Harry & Meghan get married ...How I saw it through my eyes !

Finally Harry gets his girl ...and what a girl she is !!
Did you watch the Royal Wedding on television ?
Or perhaps you were lucky enough to have been there !!!
This is how I saw this amazing, wonderful day.

The day's weather was so perfect,
The brightest blue skies, not a cloud to be found,
The sun was shining down on them,
Not too hot just a wonderful perfect weather we all dream of ,
Of course the WHOLE day was what dreams are made of.

A handsome and very charming Prince,
Full of joy and fun, a massive sense of duty to his Country,
And the Common Wealth,
Not always confident a little vulnerable,
With a super confident Bride to help him through,
Meghan looking so confident,
Holding and stroking her Darlings hand at all the right times,
With beaming, loving smiles shared by both.

Happiness,
The whole day was full of happiness, joy,
And above all LOVE
As the photo above shows,
Just enough pomp and ceremony,
A wonderful dollop of personal touches,
Beauty not only in Fashion and looks,
But in hearts.

The Ceremony starts with words of love
As Harry leans in and says 'You look amazing, I am a lucky man'
Already gripping my heart
Tears ran down my face a few times being a hopeless romantic,
There was so much love in their faces ….making this sad, at sometimes world look like there is a bit of hope,
As we know LOVE CONQUERS everything.

Her dress was so Meghan …so classy and classic,
So happy that Harry got his girl,
Felt a little sorry that only her Mum was there,
There seems to be some sort of working out to be done with Meghan's family.

All of the music was great,
Especially the English Gospel Singing group singing "Stand by me" brilliant,
The choir and the haunting Angelic singing that greeted Meghan at the Chapel door,
And followed her down the aisle to her sweethearts loving, smiling face.

Flower girls and Page boys so adorable and George behaved himself …ha! ha!
The Twin page boys did a wonderful job arranging and carrying Meghan's train,
I loved the venue …wow I have never been to Windsor just seen it in historical documentaries,
A most visit when we are in London next time,
The security so many policemen with machine guns ….I was praying nothing would go wrong'
Can you imagine if it did !!
And the super trooper The Duke of Edinburgh ….he walked like a teenager after his hip surgery only a month ago....96 years of age and still by his Wife's side.

If it had rained everyone could have sheltered under Camilla’s hat …ha! ha! …very pretty but huge.
Prince Charles had a problem to speak to her around it ,
But she did find it useful to hide behind when laughing her socks off at the ranting preacher,
As in England we don't have preachers that preach like that with so much enthusiasm and humor'
I LOVED it and thought he was a breath of fresh air ..
I just LOVED the amazed faces of the Royal Family and the crowd when the American preacher was ranting on about love,
It was so funny ….The look on Meghan’s face was a picture she enjoyed every minute of it …
I think the Queen did too as she used to love Billy Graham …the evangelist.
I thought at one moment Zara ( Princess Anne's Daughter ) was going to give birth!!

A great day for the story books

Wish I could have been there but I guess we saw more watching it on telly then they did

Driving his bride off in a E Type Jaguar …now electric powered !!!
Looking so dapper in his dress suit and bow tie,
And Meghan once again stunning us all with her gorgeous white evening dress,
Off to the evening party at Harry's Father's party (HRH Prince Charles) just a little way from Windsor Castle.
Where Sir Elton was going to entertain and loud, wild fireworks would end the night,
Bursting through the night's air.

I can't wait to see how their Fairytale and Happy Ever After takes them,
Let’s go on their journey with them and see where it leads us to.

Thanks for popping by

I hope that you were able to watch and enjoy the Royal Wedding

That joined The Duke and Duchess of Sussex together as one

If you missed it I am sure it will be repeated very often in the following week

Especially on BBCAmerica

Happy Days

The weather is meant to be great and the sun should shine on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as their special day comes .

I am going to watch it on Fox News ...from 6am as that is 12pm in London ....so an early get up but I will just nestle in to the sofa and watch it all day long .

I have waited and dreamt of this day for a long time ....hoping that Prince Harry would find that special someone ..and he has .....they seem to be the perfect couple.

Meghan is going to be a huge asset to the Royal family with her charitable works and sweetness and understanding.

As all the details etc. are just too long for me to put on here you can read all about it here ...up to date news on the Royal Wedding

I wish them both the very best of wishes for their exciting life ahead ....filled with love and laughter

Congratulations to the happy couple.
