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 #692 - What a Week!

Oh my life, the new sofas (ordered back in June) were going to be delivered, then they weren't, then they were then who knows if this Friday will actually be THE DAY. Anyway we are still with doors off and no decent seating in the lounge having moved the old sofas out! 

They the dishwasher developed a fault, Hubby fixed that then another fault so he ordered the part and finally after a week of dish washing and upheaval in the kitchen - did I mention the leak and mouldy cupboard as a result! He replaced the fan in the fridge/freezer too, we'd been eating up the contents the past couple of weeks to enable that as well.

I went to a church coffee morning and no one was there - apparently it is starting THIS week but there wasn't a date on the leaflet I was given.

Needless to say not much crafting but I have nearly finished my last pages for January 2022 and after these I will need to order more photos....

Hope you've all had better weeks.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

It’s like buses isn’t it, things always decide to happen in groups of three. Hope all gets fixed ok/delivered when it should be. I think you’re the only person I know apart from Julia who orders photos still, I should do it really, everything is in the camera/phone…

A problematic week for sure! It’s amazing how several things go wrong at the same time. I hope your furniture arrives soon so you can have something comfy to sit on. Happy WOYWW. #16

Your sofa story sounds a lot like our house handover. So far we have had definitely three different dates - and so it goes on...
Hope you get some crafting time soon...
Happy WOYWW! Susan #7
