About Me

My photo
Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (currently a year behind!), plus any cards as required. As my Carpal Tunnel allows I am getting into yarn/fabric crafts with slow stitching and needle felting added to my list. I continue with my love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus Faith/Art Journaling with acrylics and inks. I completed my challenge to make an art journal page a day for my 60th year in 2024. My list of crafty exploits includes ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like Walking/Geocaching. I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Evangelical Church.

What Shall I Crochet?

In the past, when I thought crochet, I thought lacy doilies, usually made in cream.

Here are some I made a while back. I have placed them on a pillowcase to give some idea of scale. They are all made with crochet cottons.


















































For beginners it is easier to start on a larger scale using bigger hooks (4mm) and DK yarn.















So I have been making up some of the patterns found on the Attic24 website. 

All of these patterns are in bright colours and have completely changed my idea of crochet. Hope you like my birdie.


So what sort of crochet do you like?

Hi BJ, your crocheted doilies are beautiful ... I can see them being treasured heirlooms one day. Love the little bird too. Elizabeth xx

Hi my lovely! I learnt to crochet when my Gran taught me at 6yrs old. I have done jumpers, blankets etc but when I tried the fine stuff I just couldn't cope with it hahaha xxx
