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!
