My Activities

I am a textile artist living in Somerset, South West England. I love everything to do with fabric, threads, yarn and mixed media. I'm a member of the newly formed TextileSet, a group of enthusiastic stitchers from Dorset & Somerset, the online group Near & Far, West Country Embroiderers and Quirky Quilters.
I love the county of Somerset and enjoy walking my dog, Indie. I travel with her around England and France at every opportunity and we both have fun in our 'cottage garden'

Be Creative

Along with continuing to finish and prepare pieces for the forthcoming Blackmore Vale Exhibition as part of Dorset Art Weeks, I've been playing along with Myfanwy Hart and her Facebook group 'Be Creative' - membership of this group is by invitation. Myfanwy places prompts to get your creative juices flowing once a month, over a 'long weekend' period and often extended further into the following week. Here are just a few of her 'Prompts'

Draw around your hands and doodle inside
Chose a piece of fabric and threads and stitch 9 cross stitches, add another 9 cross stitches and wait for next prompt - work in progress; I've still to add my next session of cross stitches


Take a suduko puzzle and colour 1 - 4 in colour A, 5 - 7 in colour B, and 8 - 9 in colour C
There is also an opportunity to take part in a postcard swap - mine ready to go
Finally, just a little bit of fun I found on Pinterest!
