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.

No pictures today.

Yesterday and today have been spent mainly shopping.  No, not the nice crafty sort but the sort that has to be done for survival.  

Yesterday, I trotted off to my favourite farm shop in the Vale of Evesham to stock up on locally produced seasonal fruit and veg, not to mention some beautiful local cheeses.  Flash liked the smells coming from my shopping bags.  I do need to chop and cook the fresh rhubarb.

The evening was spent re-knitting the front I had unpicked the night before.  I have nearly got to the point where I discovered my mistake, so that is positive.

So far today, I have had coffee with a friend, put the world to rights, and visited another farm shop to buy the bits I forgot yesterday.  Now I am sorted so I can spend some time later with a little messy crafting, especially if the forecast snow turns up.  It is already four hours late according to the panic forecasts.

Hope everyone has a good day, and stays safe and warm.

I have also been shopping today, stocked my Mom's fridge/freezer up so at least I know she has food if I can't get over to her. I also made her promise not to venture out if ring & ride transport isn't operating tomorrow as Miss Independant has been known to make her own way to church in the past. The last thing we need is for her to fall & break something. No snow here yet although a lot of rain earlier which was turning to sleet but seems to have given over for the moment. Take care everyone & stay warm & if nothing else craft !!
