Three more little festive works-in-progress. The trees need decorating, and I think we're due another gentle snowfall before they're finally ready for off. http://flip.it/lisgo

Most recent stories in Drifting Downtime
'Warren Cottages' #NewtonFerrers, visited by a customer & her family for 40 years. Delighted to say they love it! http://flip.it/xXDQ8
Have to say the best thing about craft fairs is the people you meet. When they find out you're the 'driftwood lady' or 'Mrs Drifting' as a customer has started calling me (I like that ;-) they talk about their own findings, their favourite beaches, and I hear their stories. Which is what it's all about, really. Pieces on their way to new homes - and really chuffed to meet a group of Indian tourists who all wanted their pic taken by my stand (they didn't buy tho - but I didn't mind!). They are hard work...and I'm not sure I'll do many more as if you're not careful you end up in a 'production line' trying to make enough stock. That's not what 'Project DownTime is about'. It's all learning. Happy Monday folks! xxx http://flip.it/4psw1
Drying the nets on Rubble Rock ;-) Found this fabulous multi-layered piece of brick rubble on a shingle beach near Barrow-in-Furness. Who knows what it used to be ....but I thought it deserved to be a home to another little home. Rubble Art, now there's a thought... http://flip.it/J9p7T
'Drying the Fishing Nets'. A peaceful little shack on its driftwood promontory by the shore of a glittering sea. http://flip.it/wshG2
Up in the chilly early morning sunshine finishing this little darling. She's the sister ship of the Dusky Rose in my profile pic and was a commission from a customer at Multicraft Cabin.
She has no name yet - that's down to the little girl in whose bedroom she will begin her journey through life. A ship of dreams, I think ;-)
The gorgeous fabric that makes her sails is by Sophie Allport Ltd. xxx http://flip.it/Z0ORv
