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 #874 - Hand Update

Wide angle of the desk today as not much on it to see specifically.

Not much scrapping done in the past 3 weeks as the latest is still up on my wall hanger.

It is now 3 months since my left hand operation. It's still a bit sore and I can't put my weight on it yet or press down glued items but it's almost sorted. Here's my right for comparison. 

(Right was done in Sept 2021).

Also the fridge white board marking off the massage days etc - have rubbed that off now - yippee - although I will still massage when I put hand cream on. 

Saturday was our 28th "Orchid" Wedding Anniversary so we went to RHS Wisley to see the orchids.

It was pretty cold out but the glass house was a great refuge after our glasses de-steamed! The lego heart was a good photo opportunity.

Bought an orchid too.

I replicated a couple more watercolours for my little book and added the hearts page too.

I also had a "play" in my concertina journal which I'd made for the BB Bash a few weeks ago. On the back side I had just stuck various odd diecuts and bits and bobs and added spare paint after I had done other things. I started on the right hand side  and worked to the left - no idea why.

I started with a little house page and after I fussy cut my blob flowers I did a page with those.


I then set up a page in my writing journal with various bits and bobs so I can get back to scripture writing.


I painted the waste from the fussy cutting flowers, also trying out my new Payne's Grey watercolour paint.


So that's me for this week.


Happy WOYWW Everyone
