Boxes and Fun and WOYWW

I've been absent from blogging for a while as things have been crazy over here.  My step son and his family have been visiting England for the first time since they moved to the US over 20 years ago, and of course it was the first time the children had ever been over - we had such a lovely time with them.
To give the girls a memento of their holiday I made two little envelope boxes that held a silver pendant for each of them.

These are the front of the boxes...

 ...and the back of the boxes

Just when things were feeling a bit dull and the family had returned home to the US I received some lovely happy mail - an ATC and pretty card from Shaz in Oz arrived.  I love the green background, such lovely subtle blended colours that really make the black flowers pop, and the card is made from an original card and photo by Margaret - what a gorgeous image of the bluebell.  Thank you so much Shaz.

I am linking up with Julia over at WOYWW this week.

Focus On Life #26 and the Tate Modern

This week for the Focus on Life challenge over at the Studio Sublime, we were given a free choice to photograph something we had focused on this week.  For me it had to be my visit to the Tate Modern in London.  I had a wonderful time wandering through the galleries and photographing all the amazing art that took my eye.

Lunch at the Tate cafe - and what a wonderful view of St Paul's Cathedral from the cafe balcony!  

I loved these pieces of work - clockwise from top left:
Chen Zhen, Eileen Agar, Pino Pascali and Mark Rothko.
