New toy!

I've got a new crafting tool which I'm very excited about. It's a Pyrography pen with different nibs to do different effects. I had a bit of play with it at the weekend, and this is what I did ......

I love it!! The possibilities are endless now with wood. It means I can do designs on the wooden spoons and letter openers I've been making amongst other things. The cubes I've used are going to be photograph/memo holders once I've drilled a hole in the top for the appropriate holder. 

So many ideas!! 

And the running is going well too. I joined DD on our usual 45 minute run last week, increasing the running intervals. Then we did our Parkrun on Saturday where I didn't beat my previous time but DD did. And yesterday we all went up to the Lake District, to Lower Borrowdale, for a 5 mile run. I say we all went - DH took Oscar for a walk while I ran with DD. 

It was really good. We ran further on the track than I'd walked previously, so it was lovely to get some practice on different terrain - Tarmac, gravel and grass. 

I've got lots to do this week. I want to get a couple of spoons finished, and get another letter opener done. I'm not sure I'll manage it, but I'll try. I've got a three day craft event coming up so it would be nice to take a couple and see what reaction I get. So I've been sanding the latest spoon tonight. I just hope the sealer arrives in time......
