Welcome!

Hello and welcome!

I am hoping to use this blog as a place to keep all my woolly scraplings together!

My first love was wool. I learnt myself to knit on our narrow boat at the weekends when all the grown ups disappeared down to the local watering hole!

I was 14!

I've knitted lots of different things over the years including scarecrows to raise money for my daughters school! Cross stitch quickly became my second love! Then I fell in love with paper crafts about 8 years ago, memory books and scrapbooks were the order of the day!

Atc's and inchie swaps soon followed when I joined a lovely craft forum, with the words, why don't you start a blog!

I have been blessed over the last 5 years to make some beautiful friendships that will last forever!

It's also been a tragic time for me and my family as we have been battered with one thing after another. Re shaping our lives time and time again.

At the end of the day it's been my saving grace to be able to turn to my handicrafts and switch 'off'

Quite often filling my bin and occasionally turning out something that I like! I am still on my artistic learning curve but starting to find myself!

In the meantime, however, every now and again I turn back to my first love..... Wool !!

And so, this brings me right back to my wanting to start this blog... to keep my woolly thoughts all in one place!

I hope you will make a cuppa, pull up a seat and join me here occasionally as I share my latest Ta-da moments and other happenings that make my soul sing!

  Happy hooking! Gez xx

  3. Have you ever tried needle felting? That's using wool. I haven't tried it but someday I will. It fascinates me.
