Slow Learner


When I went to school, over forty five years ago
The teachers were not so kind and understanding as they are today
I was told I was useless, bad,  no good , and slow
This was written on my report card
I only enjoyed   Art, Drawing and History
The rest I could not get
In those days if you did not "get it" straight away
You were left behind
I was left behind, because I was a slow learner
The classes were huge, the teachers smoked in class
And the ruler would wack across your knuckles for the slightest reason
I am so pleased that the system has changed
Personally all my learning came for me after I left school
Which I left at 16 years old
Deemed a failure by the teachers with no qualifications

The making of a circle wool picture


 I thought I would show you in pictures, how I make a wool circle picture
 This is a custom order going to Israel

A mystery

A few weeks ago, when I was away from home this lovely book came in the mail
It was opened by someone else and all documentation was lost
Who gave me this lovely book, it is a mystery
It might be related to me giving wool angels last month to people who needed them
If it is you who sent it, I would love to thank you.

Unveiling ideas


When I sit down to create, the idea is in my head what it is going to look like
But the wool often dictates how things will flow
How colors overlap and develop
It is very much like painting, a new color emerges and creates form and beauty
Always an exciting time and I love this unfolding story

Little Elves

This weekend I created these little Elves

I thought they might need a warm white wrap, 
As it is going to get  real cold soon in the North Pole
They can hang from the tree on gold thread
Or be placed on the mantelpiece with candles and holly

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs


Fairy tales, are the very best stories to tell children
