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 #446 - Eventually

Here's my desk this morning empty and forlorn, after the day before where there was some activity of the altering kind.

I added a loop to a tea-towel.

I made short sleeves out of a top where I'd worn through the elbow and

I shortened the straps on my new party dress which I wore out last night.


Here are the cards I made to go in my spare envelopes last week.


Happy 
"rather late" WOYWW everyone.

Sewing clothes is what my hubby calls "useful" crafting. I call it housework, LOL! Still, it's nice to do something useful - your cards look lovely all laid out next to each other! Wishing you a lovely Christmas! zsuzsa #18

I saw your comment on Julia's FB status so am not surprised you'd forgotten it was Wednesday - well done on getting a desk posted!! Helen #1 (thanks for the card and Happy Christmas xx )

You've been busy by the sound of it - mending is something I'm very good at putting off until tomorrow! I have an overflowing bag of clothes that need sometimes only a button put back on - it's hard finding the motivation to get stuck in to it. Anyway, gold star to you and I love you cards too - that deer die is gorgeous.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas,
Diana x #13

Not too late though! Very impr3ssive this you finished with the paper stuff and then tidy enough to be a lemon to do sewing jobs. You are Mrs Flexible! Happy Christmas!

Hi BJ, your late WOYWW is not as late as mine! I might have to resort to taking a photo on Tuesday nights ready to post, as I rarely get time on Wednesday morning. Hope you had a lovely party. Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas Heather #32

Well done on achieving all that! Hope you enjoyed wearing your new party dress out - all I seem to be wearing is 63 layers when I'm out playing carols, lol!!
Have a great Christmas with your family,

Hi BJ, hats off to you for doing some useful crafting - I spend many hours making stuff, but somehow run out of enthusiasm when it comes to turning up a hem or wrapping a present or arranging flowers - luckily for me, my DH is really good at those things :o) Happy Christmas to you and yours, see you in 2018 :o) Annie C #18
