Hello Dear Folk,
It's sunny today and cheery around 60 f, so still cool. I had thought of working on the front garden just by my front door, but by the time I went out and attended the special talk we had, got home, had some lunch, went on line to print up the Vehicle Registration renewal, because mine had run out, and by the time we got the darn printer to print the temporary form which we need to take the garage to complete the emissions testing, well then it was pretty late and had got quite a lot cooler in late afternoon, so decided to write this instead.
Mr. B. dropped my car off for inspection yesterday and it needed a whole list of things done, so not cheap, but neither could it be completed because forgot about renewing my registration, so Mr. B. has to go back today and get that done, hope it's not too late.
I was invited to a Tea and Art afternoon and wasn't sure what to expect, this is the tea part and how lovely it all was A. had such a lovely tea for us as you can see. With lots of spring flowers dotted around. The dining room table arrangement of flowers was lovely and I forgot to take a picture of that, because I was so busy partaking of the lovely afternoon tea.
Several different teas to try.
This was my selection of teacup. It was A's grandmother's.
So what was the art part? Well since her boy was in Elementary school A has volunteered for "The Art Goes to School Program" where you go around the school district giving a half hour presentation with visual aids to the children. Each year the prints of famous paintings change, but must be representative of the world American, European, Asia, Africa, Black, White, Asian, American Indian, Hispanic, Men and Women artists. So you can see that just that choice alone is daunting, plus it has to represent the eras of painting, Classical, Impressionists, Cubist, Surreal and Graphic. Sometimes it doesn't cover all the spectrum but they try.
So we had an interactive art lecture using the prints and prompts, fun and interesting.
My friend S. is going to Estonia for an International Convention this July, like Barb and I did to Hawaii so I said I would think of some small items as gifts, to make, for our brothers and sisters in Estonia. Crochet may come in more handy as it's colder there. So what to make that's small and packable?
S. is also stopping off in Paris on this trip and is going on an evening dinner cruise on the Seine so is going to make herself a pink chiffon flouncy dress with flowers on, sounds lovely.
Hope you're weekend has been fun.

Hope your car gets sorted today. Mine went through MOT this month which is probably equivalent to your test. The spread looks amazing - enough for about 100 people by the look of it. Oh the agony of choice!
