Considering I have spent the last week at home on my hols, I don't know how I didn't find time to write on my blog! I
almost achieved it in so far as putting my thoughts together in my head but that was as far as it actually went. Despite being at home I found there were other jobs needing my attention including some book keeping for the wheelchair dance group I help run. We have reached the end of our financial year so the Accounts needed balancing. Who needs a CSE in maths when Excel can do the maths for you! Anyway some of the things I planned to do will sit and wait for another occasion. One thing is for sure I will never run out of crafty things to do.
Whilst
at the show I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a short
workshop to get me started in Parchment Craft. Experiencing a fall
back in the spring, I had a spell in hospital and whilst there felt
bereft from my crafting materials. I decided then, that I needed a
portable hobby. I had previously been drawn to Parchment Craft when
watching Tina Cox on the Create & Craft Show make lovely Christmas Cards. I had got as
far as purchasing her patterns but needed a little encouragement to get
me started. The workshop was very useful and I was able to purchase
some grids to get me started. It seems easy enough to do but does
involve close up work so I may need to invest in some magnifying clip on
glasses to make it a little easier to see what I am doing.
I
made this card last week which I am really pleased with. I haven’t
finished it off because I haven’t decided on how best to write the
sentiment.
Let me know what you think of my first attempt!
