  My Mojo makes a tiny comeback.


Like so many people the last few years have been difficult one way or another. I escaped the dreaded COVID but other illnesses and a strange lethargy overcame me. I have always been very creative but I found it very difficult for the very first time. I did the occasional thing but left them half completed!

I am determined now.I pick something up and keep going until I finish it even if it takes weeks (which it sometimes  has) 

The Woollen Crochet hat has been on the needle for at least 12 months.

I visited  somewhere called Cromford Mill in Derbyshire and bought the wool because I loved the colours. I didn’t use a pattern I was lucky that the strip of ‘granny’ squares I made first fitted my head!

My grandaughter modelled it for me and I will wear it eventually it in darkest winter.

 



The necklaces have been in the making for …years. i made the blue strands out of an old tee shirt I think people knit with the strips. I cut up an old top and then left it hanging around for so long.

I had the embellishments in my stash. If I remember right they were meant for scarves.  I have actually worn the elephant one.

Pink Button Bouquet



I was asked to do a button bouquet for my great niece's wedding it is not quite finished 
yet but I'm pleased with how it's looking.

Put a Cork in it.


My Son asked me to frame this champagne cork, I had great fun trying to make it look Artistic.
I used handmade paper to line the box. Silk dried flowers and hand punched out leaves.
