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 #828 - Holy Week

Desk has my recent projects on it today.




I finished off the tag from last week, it's hanging from my shelf (top right in photo)





I'm working on the last week of Lent as it is now Holy Week. 

Here are last weeks pages for week 6.


The names for Jesus are:-

Sun of Righteousness, Dearly Loved Son,

Lamb of God, Tower of Safety, A Root and Mediator.


The Bible Watercolour is on the passage in Luke 12 "Do Not Worry"

The printable/process was for the American Blue Bird so I adapted to depict the UK Blue Tit.

I used the left over paints to do some quirky houses as it's been on my list of things to try for simply ages. 

Thanks Lindart for reminding me.






Earlier in the week I made a card for a friend as his Mum had been admitted into hospital suddenly and has since been transferred to a hospice as she has cancer which she had hidden from everyone.

Finally the bonus page for the Faith Fest which starts next week. It's a freebie 3 day event with 12 instructors all using the same scripture, should be interesting to see how they all differ. 

Plus a Cross which started out as something quite different but I just went with the flow.


Happy WOYWW Everyone.

Post Script --- After my bird watercolour above I couldn't stop thinking of the reference to Ravens.... and as we had been given the Elijah reference in the OT, I thought I'd have a go...

1 Kings 17:2-4 NIVUK
Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah: ‘Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. You will drink from the brook, and I have instructed the ravens to supply you with food there.’

We should trust God's provision even if it comes from a surprising source. God's Miraculous Provision.

Oh I do love a tag, and yours are just gorgeous. Such spring-y colours. The little houses are fab as well - I must hunt up this fodder school lesson for sure. And I can see you did a raven (not a crow) and he is magnificent!
Dashing around pre-knitting but Happy WOYWW!
