Emily came to visit me in my shed today to have a bit of a tinker.”Making is what I want to do” she said.

So it was straight to the drawing board. Inspired maybe, by my somewhat ‘cold’ freshly painted dining area, ( a shade of blue which needs a pull-over I think), she plumped for making a penguin….. a delightful cuddly baby penguin. And not wanting to be tied to that old monochrome colour scheme she opted for, (no surprise here again!), icy shades of blue. Here is her time with me….(she is a little camera shy but certainly not ‘tool shy’ – she tried it all, Well done Em’)

Cutting…

Grinding….

Foiling in the sunshine….

Soldering, (Emily’s favourite bit)

She particularly likes the ‘ttsssssssssssssssssss’

Hacksawing….

Drilling….

Nearly there….

There!
