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 - Finish Off Day

Well, this was supposed to be a day when I showed bits from my UFO box that I had succeeded in finally completing.  

That has not happened yet.  

What has happened was that I went to get my folder with part done parchment pieces, which I had in my hands last week.  Right this minute, I am collapsed in front of the TV recovering from my failure so far, trying to gather the energy to search again.

I suppose I could count today's efforts as being moving towards finishing my major clear out of unused and no longer wanted craft stash.   If you want to see some really good pictures of some proper finishing off, just nip over to Maria Moorhouse where you will see a real gem of several different skills being used to create a lovely card from bits from her UFO box.

OK, rest over, time to get back to the hunt.  I also need to sort my things out for tomorrow's workshop with Josie Davidson and Chris Walker.

Hope you find the missing items soon. When you do you will think either ''Why did I put them there'' or ''Why didn't I remember I had put them there''. Meanwhile you will probably find other things that you didn't know you had lost !!
At least that is what happens in this house.
Just catching up with all the DT posts of their lovely samples & now my neighbours are home I have my happy post to open & inwardly digest.

The most annoying thing is when someone says 'where did you last have them'. If you knew that you would know where they were. So where were you Maggie? Hope you soon fine the folder. See you tomorrow. xx
