While the concept of the weekend is very man-made and imperfect in many ways, we’re enjoying having some.
Last weekend we overcame the howling wind and rain and went to our mate’s birthday party in a paddock and little house. Despite the chill, it was heartwarming. Taking time is always heartwarming and when done with loved ones, it’s even better. People care is never time wasted.
Sam, his very large bonfire and some casual archery happening over to the left. A typical Tassie gathering.
Our very ace friend, Grace ran a spoon making workshop on the porch of her little paddock shack.

We cut the young, weedy poplar trees down, split them with an axe and Grace shared her super sharp whittling tools with us which make whittling incredibly dreamy and easy.

I made a funny little “paddle” spoon (the white one below) to add to our existing collection of hand made spoons and butter knife at home.
Not as snazzy as Grace’s spoon collection, but still has the beauty that can only come with hand made.

We really enjoy our talented, creative friends. Whether it’s spoon carving, lighting *really* large bonfires or building their own little paddock shack (as Grace has below) – they’re a talented bunch. Hanging out with them reminds me of the important things in life – good connections and good times.
You can follow Grace and her spoon adventures over at Heartspoons.
