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.

Tuesday is supposed to be for tidying up

Not a lot of my planned activities today.  My brain is now totally fried, thanks to Virgin.  The internet collapsed last night, and whatever they did to fix the problem had the effect of disconnecting every WiFi piece of kit in the house.  I suspect I have not finished finding problems that were not there yesterday.

I have just realised that I can no longer adjust my heating as that needs WiFi too, and now refuses to talk to the internet.  That is a job for tomorrow to sort that out.  The PC won't connect either, so I suspect the server will have crashed too but without the PC, I can't sort that for now.

It just shows how dependent we are now on internet access.

Instead at stewing any more about tech problems, I will do some crafting and relax myself.  I have at least six pieces of parchment work that need work, all at different stages, so I shall not be bored.  Hope you have all had a good day.

You have not had a very good day all in all. Hope you relax tonight. We have been very busy keeping Taylor amused. He has been extremely good and has made us laugh. x

Its amazing how much we rely on technology now. At home we have so many gadgets & gismos that when it fails it is torture. We had a weekend away without a TV or wifi which meant doing other things like talking, reading, knitting & listening to the radio !!
I have spent today catching up with my 3rd cousin who I met through doing my family tree. Our fathers used to play together as children but unfortunately are no longer with us to see our friendship grow.
Hope you get your technically problems sorted out tomorrow without too much hassle

What a pain Maggie. At least parchment work doesn't require Wi-Fi. Hope everything is sorted soon.
