One of the things I really enjoy is watching videos about junk journals—where people show off the spreads they’ve created and compile them in books of all shapes and sizes. There are so many styles to choose from, and I became a little mesmerised trying to find one that suited me. Junk journals can be… Continue reading #Junk Journalling

Karen’s Chat – I’m an Eclectic Person
I am an eclectic person. If I see something and it catches my imagination, I want to do it. Since I retired, it became more noticeable. My go-to place is YouTube where I’ve spend hours researching my chosen subject. Then I collect everything I needed. It’s given me hours of enjoyment making what I watched.… Continue reading Karen’s Chat – I’m an Eclectic Person
#Cardmaking
Here are a couple greeting cards I made which took me a lot longer to make than usual. The reason is that I bought some decoupage papers on Vinted. It wasn’t until they arrived I realised there were on shiny paper and not the press out cardboard I’d used previously. With these I had to… Continue reading #Cardmaking

On Sunday I had an email to say that the fabric used for one of the quilts I stitched for had bled when washed.… Continue reading Oh No! Disaster!
Just Beautiful – Cross Stitched Pictures
In 2012 I began stitching for Love Quilts UK. They provide quilts for children with life threatening or life long illnesses. I stitched lots, and then stopped in 2016 when we moved house. Then earlier this year I wanted to stitch again, and there is only so much you can do for your friends and… Continue reading Just Beautiful – Cross Stitched Pictures
