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, 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 #857 - Getting Better Slowly...

Feeling a bit more human this week despite the persistent cough lingering on. 

I had to take it easy with Zen week and only made a few items this time, maybe I'll get around to more soon.

Here's my basket of makes from last May and this week. My fabric book now has the last 3 pages filled in plus additions on the front and back covers. 

I found some old handmade bead earrings from waaaaaay back could be half a century ago even! They matched the cover adornments so I put them on the tie string too.

So the pumpkin was stitched and filled in with needle felting, loved that process. The bead strings were like those on the owl (last week), good job as that bit was only in the paid version!

The little birds are so cute so too the hand woven charm/tassle.

Last make kept me up till 2am. the little patchwork pouch. Think it needs additional stitching but just the right size for my polished stones.

There was even a little bit of watercolouring of fine line flowers.

All in addition to completing the final parts to the 10 days of Peace from Devotion in action, hence the watercolours out on my table too.

Also just ordered the last 4 months worth of photos 156 in all. There was a 50% off offer from Photobox ending midnight 3rd Nov and I came in just under the wire. Nothing like a deadline to get me to sort photos.

Just realised I'm writing this on MONDAY 3rd oopsey but hey I'm on a roll.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.
