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 #838 - More Jonah

Here's the desk with my scripture writing journal where I'm doing a study on The Beatitudes from the Gospel of Matthew 5:1-10.

 Here's the page so far...

Missed Monday as was getting car serviced and MOTed plus I had a surgeon call about my hand and a bit of a who-ha with BT into the mix.

Anyway I have pondered the Greek word Makarios translated as Blessed or Happy and Asher in the OT. Amazing what a word study reveals as Felix was amongst other words I found.



The next installments for Jonah were published and I have done 4 of the 6 so far.

Last but not least I finished off September's scrapping, of yet another geocaching trip locally.


I'll need to order some more photos soon!


Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #837 - Scrapped

Oh my got back into scrapping this evening and nearly forgot my post! 

Here's my desk, still loving extra table.

My scrap LOs are up on a coat hanger.


My son and his mates in Japan last Autumn.

I did a couple of Bible paintings for the end of the book of James as we are studying that in church at the moment.

And a Journal page hoping for more sleep.... Had my air-con on in my room ALL DAY hoping I manage to sleep better now.



Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #835 - Encounters in Colour

Back to Back freebie retreats for me, oh my word.

Loving the new extra desk in my craftcorner, although I have popped the sewing machine back in the wardrobe whilst I do the art journaling this week.

So much more room to put stuff without taking over my bed. I have put most of my extra craft supplies in the drawer too.

Currently doing Encounters in Colour 2025 this week. Much more contemplative as only one session a day for the 7 days, all available free from their published day until 15th June.... And breathe....

Desk has Tuesday's page...daily writing journal, medical journal and craft notes book

Anyway back to last week's Making Zen, here are the majority of my makes. Had a thoroughly wonderful time stitching save for my carpal tunnel screaming!


And there are 3 more in the Jonah series, I have done 2 so far.


So to the Encounters............

Day 1 - Lead me Home with Casey Turner

Day 2 - Stacking Stones with Emily Henderson


Oh my so much stuff again, I'm shattered but that is more due to not sleeping well and my hand in dreadful pain during the night. Not to worry.



Happy WOYWW Everyone.
