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#652 - Advent

Advent began last Sunday so we went and got our real tree for this year. I like to get the most out of ours so I won't be taking it down till Candlemas (2nd February) all being well. It's in a cold conservatory so it usually lasts. We can see it from the lounge and the kitchen.

Needless to say little crafting yet again I'm afraid. Even my wrist exercises and scar massaging has taken a dive.

I have started learning Hebrew via Duolingo loving that but aware it isn't quite the same as Biblical Hebrew.

I took on board those that liked the gold crocheted angel I made so I persevered with a few more.

I have 3 on the mantle and one on the real tree. I went with Purple and Gold for my big real tree this year.

I have a little faux tree in the hall and I have hung a white angel on there as I went with white on there this year.

There's a pile of the white angels on my desk ready to pop in the cards I haven't made yet - LOL.

Oh well at least the house is decorated.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

I agree, the gold angels look lovely, worth the persevering! Sorry that your wrist is still bad, I must say it sounds like your hand is doing well now, such a shame the wrist is misbehaving. Your trees look gorgeous, I am a bit behind with some things, but really enjoy the decorating process although it takes me a few days…not because there’s loads but because I’m easily distracted!

Lovely decorations! I love the smell of real pine trees but we haven't had a real one for years. Once we had one with the roots to put in the garden after Christmas but they cut the roots so close it didn't survive - we watched it hang on for a while before it died. It was so sad to get rid of it! Good luck with your language studies. My son is learning Japanese on Duolingo - completely on his own initiative - been doing it for months. And he was deemed too "stupid" to learn French LOL - it just wasn't the right language for him! Happy December! xx zsuzsa #18

Your trees are gorgeous - I love the purple and gold colour scheme. I also love how you've decorated your mantelpiece - the little angels are beautiful. You have definitely got me in the mood for putting up the decorations now!
Hope your hand is doing well, have a good week,
