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.

"Living Line" Embroidery

Following the last Making ZEN on-line sewing retreat I started what was presented as a "Living Line"... 

My piece is about ten centimeters wide and now one and a half metres long!

The premiss was to have something to add to now and again or even daily. The given exercise was to sew lines and dots...

I sort of started this way but soon morphed into my own thing.

I initially took inspiration from our garden  whilst sitting in the conservatory. 

Then from walks around the neighbourhood.

Most recently a geocaching trip along the River Mole.

This latter inspiration has turned into a sort of Vignette of the trip.

A glimpse of a bridge through the trees in a private garden.

Tumbling roses against a blue door.

The whoosh of a weir.

Shaded woodland with the river in the distance deep in the valley.


Dainty pink and white flowers lining a footpath between fields recently cut for hay.

It's like a "Stitched Diary" said Jan of last week's WOYWW post.

I wonder where it will go next....
