About Me

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 #897 - Felling a tree from TPO BAN55 G1

Have just found out that Reigate and Banstead Planning have approved the felling of a TPO tree for the Shanly development. All without meaningful local awareness. 

To say I am seething is an understatement to say the least. 

So here's the tree in question, and it's original TPO from back in 1965. 

The Shanly development is taking place on the old allotments.

In all this madness with Shanly I have managed some more embroidery. 

I added some swirly leaves, then a panel from my wedding dress fabric (pink flowers) and the hay like grass having had no rain in months.

I've penned letters to my local ward councillors and the local press, just need the courage to send them now...

Happy WOYWW Everyone.
