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.

Sunday - Anything Goes


Beautiful work all the way from Spain, created by Eve Hammond for the May's PTC challenge.  Thank you, Eve, it really is lovely.

This idea of Josie Davidson's is brilliant, encouraging so many people to have a go at these mini pieces of parchment art, and sending them all round the world.  

Eve chose to create a parchment trading coin, a piece measuring 2.5 inches in diameter, and accompanied it by a beautiful card. 


 The cards are not part of the challenge, but a lot of people have chosen to end their coins or cards within a larger card to protect it in the post.


Another lovely piece of parchment work.  Thank you again, Eve.

They are lovely, its amazing how many different PTC's there are on the same theme. I am glad I joined in, its great fun looking out for the envelope each month.

What a fabulous surprise for you Maggie. I do like the PTC swap and it's interesting to see everyone's interpretation of the theme.
I've had to bow out of the next two months though as I'm just so busy!! Normal service will resume in August!
