My macrame necklace is finished. Made from paper twine from Paperphine that I won in a Selvedge giveaway. This was an experiment to see what working with the twine was like but I'm happy with the result.
Monday
It's a grey, damp Monday morning here. Autumn is well and truly here, the garden is starting to die back but here and there are still some surprises.
A late crop of raspberries. The canes were only planted at Christmas, cuttings from my father's garden.

International Women's Day 2012
The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) has been selected as the official charity partner of the International Women's Day (IWD) website for its work to empower girls worldwide.
The Global Girls Fund was launched by WAGGGS to mark the Movement's centenary celebrations.The Global Girls Fund was established to provide the means to empower each and every girl with whom WAGGGS is in contact, through a 3 step process:
- Increasing sense of self by offering girls and young women peer support and a place to belong, so that they can create a safe space in which they can start to explore issues that affect them and those around them.
- Increasing sense of confidence by helping girls and young women develop as leaders, empowering them to become active in their world and agents of their own destiny.
- Increasing sense of impact by teaching girls and young women about effective advocacy: educating them on core issues and giving them a platform on which to speak out on issues that affect them and those around them – so that the voice of the girl can be better heard.
Through the Global
Girls Fund WAGGGS aims to raise £10 million by June 2014 in order to
create and develop related projects and programmes
that will ensure each and every girl has the opportunity she
deserves to research her fullest potential.

"Look at what I've found, Dalek 1. "
"What a find, Dalek 2. A joke book, you don't find them very often in the wild"
"Do you really think it is a joke, Dalek 1?"
"Surely it is, why would people be knitting Christmas balls when we are ready to take over the earth?"
"Humans are very strange! What should we do with this book?"
"Do you really need to ask, Dalek 2?"
"E X T E R M I N A T E, E X T E R M I N A T E!!"
