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.

Wednesday - more photos

These are more general shots from the Clarity Open Days at Ditton.  Any of you who did not manage to get there this time, you missed a brilliant time.  I hope you manage to get there next time.  For £6 per day, you experience great tuition and help by the creme de la creme of great tuition and the chance to see just what your crafting goodies can produce.  You get fun and friendship from so many like-minded people.  Just look at the fun in these last photos.


Paul and Maria sharing the very last of Ruth's beautiful cakes.




Sam is still busy with her inking and stamping.


Some of Maria's watchers listening to Barbara doing the final raffle.  For those who were not there, part of your entry includes a raffle ticket which functions all day, when Barbara does a draw every hour on the hour.  The prizes are all very generous.





No idea what the joke was but it was obviously good.  Either that or hysteria after two full on days had set in.


Maria behind her little tree.


And finally ....... the lovely Linda Williams.  I did not manage to get to watch her this time.  I also missed Lou Withers and Martine Smith, and I failed to get any photos of Barbara.

Thank you all at Clarity for all the work you put in to make this such a great event for all of us.

Thank you for sharing the photos from the Open Days over the last few days. I can't wait now until Leyburn in September - only 14 weeks to go !! I must make sure I am there for 9 otherwise I am not going to fit it all in.

Aaawww thanks for sharing Maggie. I'd love to know what the joke was that made Paul and Maria laugh so much.
I'm looking forward to being at Leyburn now.
Have a good day! X
