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.

Saturday - Start Something New


Rather late off the mark again today, but life got in the way today.  This was as far as I have got so far with my play with Tina Fox's embroidery plates.  Not a problem.  That is the beauty of Groovi and parchment.  You can stop at any time until you get another chance to continue.

I did quite a few stitched designs several years ago and even longer ago, I did lots of embroidery.  So this idea of Tina's is right up my street.  Something to really enjoy relaxing with.  I cannot see me finishing this very soon, but I will take pleasure in doing little bits whenever I get time.

I will post my progress as it happens.  Meanwhile, I think an early night is in order, although a little more embossing on this are enticing me to hang on a little longer..........

My plates were here yesterday when we got home so need to sit down & have a play with them before Linda's plates arrive. No housework to be done here for a few days !!

I have one in progress as well but tonight I was happy to sit and actually do some of my cross stitch, fluffy robin. Hope you sleep well. xx
