A quiet Sunday at home

Not only quiet but also windy and freezing outside!!  There was nothing for it but to stay indoors and have a go at something new!! Yesterday l pruned back my Cotinus and thought it would be fun to use one of the bits l chopped off to carve with. Apart from having some bad knife skills and cutting my thumb l learnt a lot (including how not to cut my thumb again!) As my first attempt l am delighted with it but sadly it is not a keeper as the bowl of the spoon has developed cracks in the wood but l continued just to have a bit of fun and to learn what l can for myself.  It was really good fun and you will be seeing more spoons in the future!!
The next one will be bigger in the hope it will be easier to work on.
