Hello everyone and Happy WOYWW to you all. Here's the answer to last week's conundrum.A 19 string Welsh Folk Harp.
I had wanted a harp as a small child around 7yrs and had been given a guitar instead. Needless to say I didn't go on to play the guitar at all or any other instrument for that matter. So decided to mark my 50th birthday with getting a harp knowing now that there are smaller ones than the huge orchestral ones which was the reason behind me not getting one as a child. I grew up in Wales from age 9yrs so a Welsh one was quite fitting too.
Crafting has taken a back seat since I got my harp on Saturday but when I did do some I sliced the top of my finger with my craft knife, so no chord practice on my harp for a day (without a plaster!!!)

There are a few printouts awaiting crafty mojo to hit me.
Plus the cutest little Owl making kit I got for my birthday too.
Oh the sweet sweet sound of the harp is so enchanting....

It's fantastic Bj,hope the finger heals soon so you can practise more and my card arrived x
Congrats on getting that harp you always wanted. They make sure beautiful noise. I can see why crafting has taken a backseat. But when you are interested in it again, it will be there for you. The pretty owls kit is cute. I'll bet they are just as sweet as they look on the package. Judy 93

Hi BJ - that is a beautiful birthday present and I'm so glad that at last you are fulfilling a childhood dream.
I always wanted to have a proper Romany caravan and Mr M has promised that if I can think of a way of getting one down the 1m wide path at the side of our house I can have one - so far I can only think of having it craned over the house but I don't really think it's a go-er!
Hope your finger heals quickly so you can get back to playing. MMx #57
Oh my!!! That is a beautiful harp!! My mom plays and her wife is an instructor, so there is much love for the harp. Just fabulous - good for you!!
So your birthday gift was a harp then..... How lovely!

Your harp is a beautiful instrument. Too bad we don't have sound so you could play a chord for us. I also like your page with the hearts.
Hope the finger heals quickly - and you enjoy the harp - still can't believe I guessed right! I love all those hearts... Helen 10
A HARP! Oh! how wonderful for you. Now is a good time to learn, (sight read while the finger's out of action)and I hope you enjoy learning - I am just a tiny, (tiny?)bit jealous! lol
Enjoy the week and I know the finger will be better soon ... it will.

Hi BJ, I haven't visited in a long time - so belated 50th birthday wishes (you're catching me up!). When I first saw the harp on your desk I thought you were going to alter it! It looks beautiful and I bet it makes a beautiful sound too - what a lovely present for your special birthday. Take care x

Gorgeous harp! The colours in the wood are amazing. Have a great week, hugs Shaz #38 xx
I seem to be following Shaz around this week. I totally agree about the beauty of the wood in that lovely harp. I envy you the chance to lay such an amazing sounding instrument, and I hope you don't damage any more of your fingers. xx Maggie #97
Hi BJ,
What a beautiful instrument!!! And, I was right!!! Woo hoo. Which leads me to the owl kit -- can't wait to see what they look like finished.
Happy belated WOYWW

I'm late and missed your birthday all together, but I love that harp. What a beauty. And to think it only took you about 43 years to have your wish come true. Happy belated birthday, dear from #3.
I was right!! That is a beautiful harp, I bet it sounds amazing. What a completely fabulous prezzy!
Happy belated 50th
Hugs, LLJ 44 xx

WOW dreams really can come true. Wishing your finger better soonest. Then play till your heart is contented.

Hi BJ. Hmm - slicing your finger apart ain't good - hope you can get back to practice soon. It's a gorgeous looking instrument - soooooo glad you have finally got it. ENJOY!!!
