About Me

I love my children, I love my dogs and I love my craft!

Starting with knitting as a child, taught by my Mum, I preferred crochet and cross stitch. I discovered papercraft over 20 years ago and enjoy card-making, scrapbooking and ATCs. I particularly enjoy stamping and die-cutting but also enjoy parchment craft and jewellery making.

I have always loved to draw, doodle and paint with watercolours or acrylics and this has evolved to include zentangle.

So that’s me and this is my blog. I hope you enjoy looking around!

Mary,
Your cards are amazing! I love how your images melt and blend into each other. You are doing a great job on your blog – I am not good with a camera, so I appreciate the pics of your cards in their fine detail.
Thanks for following my blog. I have been stamping for several years now and only die-cutting for 2 so I guess you could call me a novice.
I don’t “do” facebook or twitter but will follow your blog too.
Have a merry Christmas!

~Sallie

You’re very artistic! Back when my vision was better, I really enjoyed doing counted cross stitch–and I made a few baby afghans–but now I just write and cook.

Oh, I love to make ATC’s too! Sometimes I just sit down and start, and then I don’t want to stop. 🙂

Hi! Your zentangle drawings are amazing! Would it be ok to use one of them as a background for a yoga picture if I give you credit? It’s just for a challenge I’m doing on Instagram (today)!

Thank you for your kind comment. As long as its a clear credit that its my drawing that would be fine on this occasion. Good Luck!

Hi, I work for a UK independent music publisher, and we would love to use your treble clef design for one of our books. Could you let me know how best to contact you directly about this,
Very best wishes
Lucy
