About Me

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 #725 - Craft Prayer Retreat

I went on a craft prayer retreat at the weekend and made some lovely things.

My favourite is the wire tree.


Closely followed by the Bee decoupage bottle.

I did my first ever needle felting and made a cross for myself and a friend, and some pipe cleaner flowers.

I also made a felt heart.

Got home and made my Scripture card for the week too.






Happy WOYWW Everyone.



Just got my new glasses and they are rubbish, going to question my prescription tomorrow. Oh my, so annoying.

So many lovely crafty items. I love that stained glass heart. I have never heard of a craft prayer retreat, what a marvellous idea. I am much happier with my Psalms study now I have room for my notes. My daughter had a similar problem with her new glasses and they changed them. Hope it gets sorted. Happy WOYWW. Angela #16. Can you send me you address please x

What a lovely lot of goodies you made at the retreat - the little wire tree is beautiful and the bee bottle would look perfect in the garden on a summers evening - just lovely. What a nuisance about your glasses, I hope it all gets sorted out quickly.
Have a good week,

Oh good grief, rubbish glasses..how disappointing. More than made up for by your retreat, how busy you were, glad you enjoyed it so much. Presume you had a ‘good’ pair of glasses with you because I’d have been unable to do much with a duff pair!! I think the wires tree is my fave, how did you enjoy the needle felting? I’ve tried it. Love the results but not enamoured by the process!!

Now that looks like a good weekend, gorgeous projects too. Sorry to hear about the glasses but I'm sure they will sort it there has obviously been a mistake with the perscription. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww as soon as you get the glasses sorted, Angela x8x
