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, plus any cards as required. As my Carpal Tunnel allows I am getting into yarn/fabric crafts with slow stitching and needle felting added to my list. I continue with my love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus Faith/Art Journaling with acrylics and inks. I completed my challenge to make an art journal page a day for my 60th year in 2024. My list of crafty exploits includes ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery. 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. 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 Evangelical Church.

WOYWW #889 - Napkins

Here's my desk on Tuesday morning. Struggling the past few days with the heat so finally caved and sorted the air-con out again with windows/curtains firmly shut! 

I had made the mistake of visiting a neighbours show garden on Saturday afternoon. The sun was far too much for me and made me quite ill. 

On my desk is my daily scripture writing journal. I use a double spread for each month and paste in lots of printables to get it going.

Also there is the New Testament schedule that our church is reading together this year and the last journal page from Encounters.

I've been struggling with life this week yet again (plus the heat!) probably as it is the anniversary of my Dad's passing on Thursday - 28years ago but still the grief affects me.

I did enjoy the chain page in Encounters last Wednesday. It doesn't look much but the process was really relaxing.

Casey Turner's offering was brill, I love her process loads but struggled with my name so put Child of God instead.

I have since found out that...Billy > can mean Strong-Willed Guardian or Shielded by a Higher Power. Jane > God is Gracious and Yahweh is Merciful.

I lost the plot Friday after playing Badminton Thursday evening so sat all day embroidering and watching Scott & Bailey on ITV X. The living line has grown as a result.

Saturday I tried to make sense of Friday's and Saturdays Encounters lessons but struggled with "seeking with all my heart" and "dreams" so just did happy colours and the stencil baby wipe thing and found the 2 words in my stash plus some previously watercoloured hearts. 

I also received my first ever Ebay order. 

I got a selection of napkins - well pleased. 

Lots of florals and birds and various other animals and lots of patterns besides. Great to have some different images to draw from.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.
