Well a couple of years down the line and I'm no further with this 'blog' thing!

2012 didn't start well as I lost my beautiful Donald very suddenly and unexpectedly.  He was a wonderful companion to both me and Zuzi and he is still so sadly missed. My one comfort is that he had the best life a dog could ever have.

 I still have Zuzi who is now 12 years old and throughly spoilt but I don't care. 

Work wise, I tried to be creative and came up with some cosy neck warmers (forget to photograph them!) and they've all sold.  Doing more teaching and workshops and getting back to my roots of textiles.

I LOVE fabrics!   I hoard and hoard and if I do nothing else in 2013, I MUST THROW some old fabrics away.............it's just soooooo hard!!

So, 2013 - plan A - get back in the 'real' creative groove.  Started crocheting again after teaching one of my nieces. The trouble with crochet is it can be boring.  Everyone thinks of granny squares and doilies. Not me.  I found a wonderful Japanese/American (I think) designer who has inspired me, Yumiko Alexander, look her up DanDoh.blogspot.com 

Fun with eyes!

You'll either love or hate this.............I love it, even though I'm not sure what to do with it yet!  This actual one is made from glass and sadly got broken.  Did buy some replacements but none as realistic as this one........lovely brown eyed one in the picture below, but again not sure what to make with it.

The bead work with the 'eye' is something of an experiment for me and I really enjoyed making them.  Want to turn them into a necklace that can be inter-changeable with my 'Tulo Twist' fabric necklaces and still working on the process.

New to this!

Hi to anyone out there!  This is all new for me, so be patient if I do things wrong (which I no doubt will do!)

I want to share some of my work in progress - you might be interested seeing my work in stages.

 This is one of my latest - made for a wonderful friend and loyal customer.  It's part of my 'Leaves' collection.  You'll be able to view and purchase other styles from my website in due course.

Be great to have your opinions!
