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, 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 #893 - Dress & Embroidery

I bought and altered a Summer dress this week. Didn't really have anything cool enough for this continued heatwave.....

I outlined the process in my previous post

I was going to add in-seam pockets but I tried undoing the side seam on a piece I'd cut off and it proved a tad difficult. Flimsy material vs extra firm unusual stitching! 

Eeeek! Oh well....

My living line is now 1.8 metres long. I added a floral section and am nearly at the end of my second backing strip.

Shall I add more I wonder???

Not done much else. Sunday was a lovely day cool breeze and I actually managed to turn off the air-con and have the windows open for a while. Oh and it was quiet without all the buildings works and dumper trucks too. 

Unfortunately the heat is rising again so I'm back holed up in my room with the air-con on again. 

I did fashion a couple of cardboard pieces to fill the gaps my window leaves with the flue at the base. I still attach the navy cloth to the bottom of my blackout blind as that goes round the flue as well.

That's about all the paper crafting I have done this week  - LOL.


Happy WOYWW Everyone.
