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.

WOYWW #415 - Mainly Scrapping

Laid out on my desk are my next two scrapbook pages.

The last two are hanging up still.

The others are already in my album.











Yep done quite a bit of scrapping this week.

Also a journal page using up the frames from The Works" dies I got last Thursday.


 


A few cards I need for next week.
 


And as I found a beautiful fabric butterfly when looking for something else, I added that to my embroidery.

Got a friend coming round for a crafty play date this morning too.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

I was going to pick up the circle frames dies at The Works yesterday, then decided against it. After seeing how beautiful they look, I so wish I had gotten them now.
Your 'Autumn' LO is gorgeous - I love the bottom right photo especially - the pathway leading to the door... it's just gorgeous.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

It's been such a pleasure stopping by here. I feel like I've needed this breather. Your work is lovely. The embroidery is unique and very precious - rare lovely things made by hand. Thank you for this breathing space.
