Craft 'n' Stuff: More crafting and some fun

Part of Maggies retirement present was a voucher for a "triple Whammy" at Magna in Rotherham. She finally booked a day and Helena and I went with her (obviously!) Basically she was harnessed and attached to a rope and then: Attached to a line a projected a hundred feet horizontally, attached to a rope and projected 100 feet vertically and attached to a rope and allowed to project herself 100 feet vertically!!! LOL She loved it. If you get a chance and have good health - you so have to go! :-)

This is Magna. (Maggie abseiled from the (inside) roof of this building.) It's a great place if you have children - probably between 5 and 11. Any younger and they don't "get" it, and older and they'll be bored, but of course it depends on the child. Not the Triple Whammy obvs - What Magna is about IS children....There are several sections such as earth, fire, water, wind. Each is an interactive explanation of the Elements. For example, in wind you can make music with wind blowing over the top of some tubes filled with liquid. I think adults probably get more out of it than the kids, but it it fun. It's in an old steel works - hence the Elements references.

Isn't this just the cutest thing??? I am a real "Bah! Humbug" until Christmas Eve normally, but this Santa sign is for the canal Trust boat for their Santa trips and I just love Santa's face. I'm going to have a go at cutting some on the Cricut for the windows of the boat, and maybe even a gnome or elf too. :-)

Forgot to post this. It's from when we went away a few weeks ago - both dogs wanted to sit up with Rodge, so they did! We think Floss was just letting Alphie know that she'd let him up, but just remember who's boss and who's place this actually is...... But don't they look cute?
