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 #878 - Recovering Slowly

A bit back to Billy Productive this week thank goodness. 

Desk has the back of my concertina journal in progress, more of that later...


In the week, I started slowly with some fussy cutting of the blob flowers and watercolouring sprigs on the waste. 

So cool to be able to fussy cut without my hand going numb. Still have to deal with the scar pain, which has been quite sore this week and the arthritis, but on the whole much better.

Then I did a couple of watercolours from pictures which caught my eye on facebook.

Gotta love a kooky bird!

Saturday I picked myself up and visited our local scrap scheme for the first time. They are only open to non-members once a month and this was the first time I could possibly go..

Found loads of dies and got some other bits and bobs all for £7 - actually less but I rounded up to the change I had!

Was only thinking the other day that I hadn't got a new alphabet for years - The last one was through our Julia in 2018! Now I have 2.

The number dies were missing though, maybe I didn't rummage in the box well enough. I'll be going back next month.


I used the flowers on this journal page.

And the alphabet, flag banner, and circle edge on this scrappage. 

(I took this photo before I added the written journaling on the page.)

So back the the concertina journal, which I made in the BB Bash and didn't like the back of so I painted over it all. Here's the before..

Here's the after... 

With left over paint I made flowers which I cut out and stuck on the page too.

I wanted to do an Easter "something" and thought what the heck I'll do it here.

So on my desk is the version with the Easter images stuck on awaiting the next stage.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

and a very 

Happy Easter.
