Someday, the altered art you make today will be
old, faded, falling apart, and someone else will salvage the bits and use them
in new altered art.It's the best that any piece of art can hope for

Blooming Hooked

Hey its not a cushion.... Again this another project inspired by by Attic24, and I love it!


This project and taught me to love what I make. I have spent years being afraid to admit I actually like/love what I make. It's too easy to think people think you are being big headed - its taken me too long to admit to myself the fear of this is just as bad as being falsely modest about stuff. If you don't like your own stuff then why should you expect anyone else to like it? 
So yes I do love this, the colours bring a little bit of joy to my heart.. well actually they bring a lot of joy to my heart and make me smile. I hope you are smiling today.
This is the sort of thing my mum would have made and taught people to make, I am so grateful she gave me her creative gene and thankful she share her knowledge with me before she died. 
Right.. whats next?? I haven't been inky/painty for ages now, wool seems to have taken over.. maybe its an excuse not to tidy up my craft room, wool can be manipulated next to the roaring fire, which is another bonus in the winter months!

  1. Awe we are all over critical of our own crafting I think. I have a few bits out but always think that no-one wants to see them! This wreath is absolutely gorgeous...all those lovely flowers...and the colours are just crochet heaven xxx
