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 (currently a year behind!), 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 #817 - Felting At Last

Yay the felting workshop is here at last and something my hubby even likes! Whoop Whoop.

I even remembered to take a photos of my desk before clearing away.

My first ever 3D object, a mushroom, love it.

I will be doing a 2D mushroom picture today in the workshop, but they don't start till 4pm GMT.



Here's the next 2 pages in my fabric book.

A collage using pieces I had made on another workshop last year as they had just been hanging around.

Also the little felted piece I had a go at last week.


A couple of journal pages as I was missing it after last year's epic page a day.

This one was inspired by Casey Turner

I used another synonym of my word for the year

Surrender > Yield


And this one by Jenna Burne.

I did the magazine thing and chose pictures which spoke to me and took it from there. It is quite deep about my childhood and stuff but also cathartic.


Oh and here's me and my mushroom, happy bunny or what?



Happy WOYWW Everyone.

Lovely photograph of you holding your toadstool. The toadstool is bigger than I thought. Lovely work on your blog today and you are doing brilliantly in your sewing book. Did you put anything between the material of the pages to make it stiffer? I don’t know if I will ever get around to making my fabric book. Happy WOYWW. Angela #11

I love your mushroom. Fly Agaric is the name of the red topped one with spots on. I have featured mushrooms and this particular one in my blog post of tomorrow so that is how I know. Back to yours, you must be so chuffed with it, I know I would be. Hadn't realised it was so big. It is fabulous.
Hugs, Neet 1 xx

I love your toadstool…it looks so real so well done you. It’s been a long time since I did 3D felting. I used to really love it.
