About Me

My photo
Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (usually about 6 months behind), plus any cards as required. I have a new found love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus recently Faith/Art Journaling too. I've challenged myself to make an art journal page a day for this my 60th year. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like walking/Geocaching and sometimes do a bit of Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

Fires at Midnight

I have had my "big" harp for a year now and am learning some tunes from the old "Scottish Music Graded Exams for Harp" book - still grade one though!

I say "old" as the Scottish exam board have changed their syllabus so my harp teacher got lots of the books for a good price. I'm not really intending to take an exam at my age, especially as my son says I don't really need it for my CV now, but it is a good structure to work through all the same.

So my latest favourite tune is "Fires at Midnight". It is recent gentle waltz composition by Wendy Stewart.

I started with a Wendy Stewart tune, "The Streams of Abernethy" back in March 2014. It was my first tune after I started lessons. I made this journal page back then.

Anyway I have tried to record "Fires at Midnight". This is my 9th attempt and I still haven't mastered it but I am working on it.

My previous recording was in April 2015 of a piece called "Charlotte in Spring"
