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 for tidying up - or not

Instead of tidying up today, it was more like going through every piece of paper and parchment to find a piece of work that I had almost finished, or so I thought.  I had searched last night with no success.  So today, it was down to finger tip level.

Did I find it?  Oh yes!   Where was it?  Properly mounted on designer paper and nice white card.  It wasn't NEARLY finished but actually TOTALLY  finished.


A few minutes ago, I was looking for the Groovi plate that goes with the square picot edge plate.  I actually found it, but at the same time I found the extended squares plate that I lost and had actually replaced.  You are all my witnesses.  I am putting one of them into the bag I take to parchment workshops.  It is one of those plates, like the Starter Plate Mate, that I find absolutely essential.

I am going to have to do a load of tidying up tomorrow to make up for today.  If things follow the pattern of the last couple of day, I will be able to start that at about 5am.  I just hope there are no more bumble bees left in the bedroom.

A lovely card. I put things in a safe place that I won't forget where I have put it - that is until I want to find it & can't for the life of me remember where that safe place was !!
