Here begins my journey into blogging. I have many interests and creative pursuits, which I’d like to share with you.

I knit, make cards and write. I am mum to a neurodiverse teenager, and look after 5 cats and a huge community fish tank.

All of these things I would like to share with the world, in the hope that my life experiences might help you, dear reader, in aspects of your life, you might relate to.

I would like to share some of my recent creative projects.

Jumper dress knitted for my niece – made up the pattern as I went along!
It is her present for Christmas 2025

Last year I made her a dolly in a bed, carry box, from a shoe box – sounds strange I’m sure… but she loves it!

Before the face was finished!

Carry it around! Christmas 2024

My niece loved this so much she even took it to ‘show and tell’ in class at school! Bless her!

To make something that can touch a child like that is a priceless gift! If anyone wants to know the details of the making of this, I’d be glad to share!

In 2023 this was the project –

A wooden reusable advent calendar which was bare wood when I started. I painted, and decorated each drawer as well as the base.

In case anyone thinks I’m spoiling my niece! I also made one for my nephew..

Christmas 2023

Here are some cards I made as well

The merry Christmas is also a Christmas tree decoration which can be used again and again.

I hope some of these projects can give you inspiration to create something yourself.

If you want any information on how I achieved these results please do contact me.
