Have been surfing almost all day and found some amazing places about arts and crafts.pininterest is one which caught my attention with its adorable little items to inspire/admire.
As for other surfing, even though i live by the sea, I hadn't had the chance to go much in the water this past summer so the closest i got to surfing was this:
STRAW SURFING!
In the teeny tiny
mountainous town of Mecina Bombarón, in the Alpujarras, a mountain range, in southern Spain, the locals have started to revive an
ancient tradition. Even I got a go at threshing the wheat. It was definitely
fun, unfortunately the macho men thought this crazy tourist (me) would fall and break
her neck so they had the horses go quite slowly for me.
I copied this from
Wikipedia:
The threshing board has
been traditionally pulled by mules or by oxen over the grains spread on the threshing
floor. As it was moved in
circles over the harvest that was spread, the stone chips or blades cut the straw and the ear of wheat (which remained between the threshing board and the
pebbles on the ground), thus separating the seed without damaging it. The
threshed grain was then gathered and set to be cleaned by some means of winnowing.
Go see an old drawing to see more in detail what exactly I was doing:
