Cushions

The best memories are those created when you are with the ones that you love. This was taken in 1995 when Sonya was 8, Samuel was 5 and Audrey was 1. This was the Original frame before I gave it a make-over

Snowmen made from pasta jars The Snowmen looking out of the window In early December, I thought I would start the countdown to Christmas by posting something that I've made everyday. It was a great idea because I found myself very busy and very happy doing the things that I like, going places, meeting loads of friends and making new friends along the way. Fresh Christmas wreaths My friend Phil informed me that there would be a wreath making session at Southill Area Centre hall so I went and…

With Christmas coming up soon, the desire to decorate the house escalates. New cushion covers will perk up any dull looking sofa.

I've had a long week, so I went to buy some oil cloth and ordered a beautiful vintage panel online as well. Then I followed my doctor's orders ... And made a number of bags of different…

I bought a map of Ireland, cut it out and mounted it on an existing picture canvas (recycling?) that I do not care much for.
