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 Finishing Off Day - Number 1

I have taken inspiration from the lovely Maria Moorhouse and today is dedicated to finishing off as many UFOs as possible. 

Hence why my table is covered in little boxes to start with.  They belong to a project we did with Maria at her Shrewsbury workshop just before Christmas.  You can see what it is when I finish it.

The second one, just visible under a Groovi plate, is a tiny PTC (parchment trading plate) which I started last night.
The work so far on this was done in 2 hours sitting front of the tv, and all it needs is to find and cut the right backing paper or card , stamp the back plate and just put it all together.

Then there are a few toppers to edge and mount.  Whatever I finish today, I will try to post tomorrow.  Who else is going to join me on Friday Finishing Off Day?

Good job Marg. I dug out all my UFO's last week, and made a start of using them up. Planning on getting at least three quarters used up before I start anything else! Hugs, Shaz X

I do not have too many UFO'S to do as I had a good blitz a little while before Christmas. Well done on making a start on yours. I do still have that project from Maria's class to do though. beautiful piece of parchment Maggie

Ah you’ve the UFO bug from Shaz Maggie, well done you, I’ve lots of UFO of minor variety but major one is crotchet cloth that only has two squares to go. Frozen in time. Does that make sense. Maybe done one more this year!!
Pray every blessing on you this year Maggie.
