  • LACE PAPER FOLDER

    I loved this card {CraftersChoice ~ White Meadow} and thought I needed to make something out of it. So I landed on a simple folder. I wasn’t sure what to put in the folder, but I wanted something that complimented it. Then I came across my lace paper cut outs. Perfect. Have a nice day!…

  • He Heals

    I found a beautiful frame at a second hand shop on Saturday which inspired me to make this design. Made from up-cycled linen and embroidery pieced together. I felt the Scripture “He heals, the wounds of the broken-hearted” captured the mood of the colours … soothing, calming and gentle to the soul.

    I always like to do something while watching tv in the evenings. I recently found three balls of white wool so I started knitting the middle of a blanket. Given I don’t know how to follow a pattern I just did ‘knit’. Then I ran out of the white so I decided to crochet some…

    I haven’t posted for ages. I’ve still been making things but you know what it’s like….time consuming! Ha! Anyway, I made this the other day and sold it on Facebook Marketplace the day I finished making it for NZ$25. I was delighted that it went to a friend of my mum’s who was moving into…
