DRESSING UP WOODEN SPOONS

I had a session with the Irish Countrywomen's Association (Castletroy) where we dressed up the humble wooden spoon.

Because time was limited, I prepared most of the materials before hand.


Ribbons, dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks and berries do make a difference!


And that reminds me of a similar project that I did with some school teachers in Hanoi in 2007, eleven years ago.


I was there to train them in the teaching of English and just to add some fun to the training, I introduced craft sessions as well.


And music sessions too


This is the school where I conducted the training


We all had tea in the canteen. Love the vintage flasks.



Hanoi is pretty with all the rice fields but in the city it is rather polluted 



The Education department took great care of me and put me up in a 5 star hotel and presented me with a bouquet of flowers.


And that was me, eleven years ago.
