This card received from my secret Valentine who I know to be Judy....many thanks for this lovely card. What the picture does not show is all the sparkles as the light catches the beads and gold glitter....really lovely...
I am interested in embroidery and learning new stitches, dying techniques, using old denim clothing to create new items such as bags. I also like to crochet and knit with different weights of wool and size needles and crochet hooks. Actually anything to do with textiles.....
Where did you learn your textle skills?
I learned from my great grandmother, my grannies and my mother more recently from a sewing group in Malawi.
Anything else you want to say to introduce yourself to the group??
At the moment I am trying to get to grips with my new home, a new town and a new country. I am also looking for work which is I have to say rather depressing but I am trying to keep positive. I did think that I could stay at home and sell what I make but totally lack confidence.....
