Welcome to my blog

I hope you enjoy reading my posts, and please leave me a comment. I always enjoy reading them, and will try to visit you in return.

For security reasons for me and for you, I would appreciate it if you would leave your name on your comments.

You are welcome to copy any of my designs, as long as you do not take credit for them yourself. I am very happy for you to sell them. If I have used anyone else's design, I always try to give credit where it is due. If I have missed anything, please let me know and I will put things right.


This is intended to be mainly about my crafting stories, as a personal record of what I do. However, I interpret crafting quite widely, not just paper crafting but other things too. I have a butterfly mind and like to change from one thing to another depending on what I feel like on a given day - knitting, crochet, cross-stitch, cards, baking and several others, including my favourite right now, parchment, both traditional skills and Groovi, very relaxing and calming to do.

I have decided to put some structure into my blog so that each day will have something of a theme.
Monday- for Mindfulness; Tuesday - Tidy Up Day; Wednesday - What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday; Thursday - Technique and Tips; Friday - Finish Off Day; Saturday - Start Something New; Sunday - Anything Goes
These themes are not hard and fast and will be changed if I feel the need.

Friday Smiles

Two very happy little grandaughters after a session of crafting.  It was after they had come to visit me last week, before I went away, and was also the first time I had seen Charlotte after her birthday, so I was able to give her her present.

I had given her a china model of this flower fairy a couple of years ago and then found the pack of shrinkles which I had kept for this year.  She is a very generous little girl and likes to share with her little sister.  Soon after they went home, I was sent this lovely photo, entitled "Done it". 

If you want to join in with something that makes you smile on a Friday, just follow the link to Annie's blog at  http://wipso-astitchintime.blogspot.co.uk/
