Fantasy

How did you get to be crafty is a question I get asked all the time.I think know it’s part genetics.My Mum is crafty and for that matter my Dad makes amazing fused class.
It goes back further my Great Aunt Kathy she owned an autograph book with is dated 1924-1947.I became the custodian of this book this winter and have decided to use it as a focus for projects.
This is the first of a growing collection.

Inchies

I love to share stitches.This is why I host and participate in swaps regularly.Sharing a new technique or inspiring other to experiment with their own creativity is a wonderful part of my daily routine.Lydia’s creations are her first experience with Inchies and she received the crafty care package below.I learnt that my heat gun is a great tool for ATC’s and Inchies.Watch out for the burn !

Inspiration

So one of the questions that I get asked is what inspires me.Nature is one of the key things.Birds and their specific habitats.Woodland shade.Wildflowers clinging to island cliff faces with otters hunting in the tidal races below and frogs singing their evening choruses are all thing that make me feel that it’s good to be around.

To this end I’m currently undertaking a Master Naturalist training with my local council to increase local awareness of our environment.

2nd post and it kicks in !
The image is from Art Appreciation not apprehension. Just those 3 or 4 letters in the middle make all the different !


I could just stick to images or let peeps correct the spelling?

I’ve been .com’d

I’ve been hiding under the Crafty handle of Essexdebs since summer 2008.Now it’s time to show what I’ve been  up to and where I’m going.

I have no idea about WordPress and I’m dyslexic to boot so there will be images rather than words and if you have any queries I’ll attempt to answer them.
