Craft Kits for nature lovers

 

  

There's nothing like having a go at something and being creative.  This year, I've done a few craft workshops to have a go at different crafts - calligraphy, watercolour painting and willow making.  The willow making - well, I was hopeless and will have to give it another go.  My bird feeder looked nothing like a bird feeder and it was the only one not to look like a bird feeder - everyone else seemed to have produced an excellent bird feeder.  But I've loved  all these workshops and want to keep treating myself to craft workshops as a special treat.  So give someone a go at being crafty and creative!  It's great fun!
