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 - Post Birthday (15th Feb) Edition

Here's my desk with my birthday crafty things.
Oh my where did 62yrs come from?

Got some 12x12 papers/card, 30 stencil set, 26 pearl threads with 2 silks, 8 blending brushes and a night sky book.

Had a pizza cake!

Finished off the calm retreat with some watercolours, Wobbly Houses.

I did some more of my houses and hearts too whilst I had my paints out.

Needed the hearts as I'd used mine up on my Valentine card for hubby.

The last presenter did blobs with watercolours. I think I was well inspired and lined them out as flowers later.

The penultimate presenter offered a 7 day art adventure so did 5 of those  on my birthday.

Actually used oil pastels as well as watercolours. Love the way she used pens on top of the watercolours. Another feather in my bow in my art journey for sure.


I've ordered myself a watercolour sketch book so I can duplicate my favourites in there.

Earlier in the week I did the February Mixed Media challenge over on JOTW. 

Be Joyful in Hope
Patient in Affliction
Faithful in Prayer

Happy WOYWW Everyone.
