I shamelessly stole this idea. I saw it on the wall of my friend’s church. I am shameless!
400 twinkly lights from B&Q. A handful of tie-wraps and a cat. OK, perhaps you don’t need the cat. Perhaps.

Play Church with Toddlers
This is an idea I have shamelessly stolen from @revleahvs. Play is such an important part of learning. One Sunday night I watched a ten year old from Holy Nativity put her arms up in the air and recount the words of invitation I use at the eucharist. We learn through playing. So we now have six toddler churches.
Cheap plastic boxes with with a laminated card on the top.
Fairtrade dolls that come in a range of races and gender.
Vestments made from felt I bought in the range.
Egg cup, castor cup and electric tea lights from ebay.
Laminated Lord’s Prayer.
Holding cross and psalm 23 on a card from ebay.
Hankerchief folded as a corporal from ebay.
So lets play church. Lets learn the faith as we play with it.

I inherited a little bit of money so I am awaiting the delivery of a new camera. I’ve been into photography for about 12-13 years now. I have various equipment but I predominantly use a Canon DSLR. As I sit here I realise that I’m going to have to relearn a lot of what I do. The buttons will be in different places and it will have a different workflow. Having an eye for a shot will be the same. Composition, framing, focus, exposure and depth of field will all be the same, if I can find the buttons to use them on a newer camera.
Workflow is a necessary evil to enable the creative process to happen. Whether it be a new piece of music gear or a piece of video editing software. I feel like I spend more time working out how to use new buttons in new locations to do the same things I was doing before.
