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 #880 - Sewing & Scrapping

A friend gave me the mini sewing machine on my desk. I had shown her how to use it the last time I saw her but she hadn't had it out of the box since then so thought I best have it. 

Funny I saw one on a desk last week and was thinking of getting another one as the manual one I have is rubbish.

I have done a lot of scrapping attempting to get me up to date with the photos I have printed before a couple of online courses start soon... (see end of post)

I finished up my 21st album with 3 pages for the rest of November 2025.

The Wired page uses a paper I have had in my stash for over 20 years!

The Sewing page, I used my new alphabet yet again plus my new nestie flower dies. 

The Hand and "Lights" are the respective last and first pages of my 21st and 22nd albums.

I did a double LO of my hand recovery throughout December 2025.

Hoping the colourful flowers take away the trauma of the month! The colours reflecting my hand cream gift and my thread win from the last Zen.

When I picked up the pages I really like the shadow they made from behind so took a photo like that.

Next pages are the shooting stars plus Christmas and Boxing Days.
I even made a insert for my 2016 album for an extra photo which had been given to me a while back. Taken by the husband of the friend I was birthing partner to, same one who gave me the mini sewing machine.

Just a few more pages till I'm caught up and need to do another print order.

The courses I am signed up for are:-

1) Faith Fest - 20-21 April but I have paid up so can do at my leisure - phew!

2) Making Zen - 4-8th May signed up for the freebie so will be a bit more of a challenge.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.
