Trying to make the world a better place, one craft project at a time!

16/11/2025

Two of my very lovely cousins had a baby over the last month so I made them both a baby quilt/play mat. After caring for many babies in my career, I was relieved that everything went smoothly as it can be a stressful time for some families. I had limited time to do the binding so the end result is not perfect but it meant that I managed to deliver them in time for their baby showers. Hopefully I will get to meet them at some point soon despite the physical distance to Cape Town.

Halloween when your husband has a 3D printer. I thought it was very creepy but the trick and treaters did not seem to mind.

Finally finished this embroidery for a friend.

This account has been neglected a bit recently as has my craft room. However I met a lovely potter yesterday from Llangollen yesterday at my first Eisteddfod so I might have found a new craft hobby to fill my spare time.

My new office buddy/birthday present from Andy has learnt about systematic reviews today.

My art from a free screen printing workshop provided by charity yesterday evening. Thank you for the birthday treat after the train chaos on Monday! 😍

I am in London on weekday evenings for work at the moment so am staying with a lovely family. However I am finding the transition is tough as I am having to adapt to my new working/living environment. I was lamenting the fact they do not have any dishcloths to a random person on the train home yesterday and realised that I should just make one. Voila!! 😂

Finally finished my advent calendar before Easter hits. The words read peace, wonder, joy and love. Looking forward to using these next Christmas.

Two more cross stitch photos completed many years ago that I have not posted yet. One was done by me and one was done by my husband. Who can guess which is which?!

Another papercut sent to South Africa, this one to my cousin who had a pretty rubbish 2024.

28/02/2025

A common phrase used by many of my South African relatives is 'what's the plan?', which is pretty much used in any tricky or challenging situation. By making a plan, these cross stitches arrived in Cape Town tucked in a suitcase in Nov, got framed locally with the help of my arty aunt, and I was able to successfully give them to the recipients in person when I was there in Jan.
