Hi, Welcome To My Blog

I love various different types of crafts and have had a dabble at most over the years, some with greater success than others. I believe that apart from loving and giving, being creative is the next most important thing to do. There is something about being creative that taps into something deep within us that makes us feel good with the world. But then we were made in the image of God, God The Creator... so I guess being creative will be second nature to us if we allow. The problem is that many people will not have a go because they make the mistake of measuring themselves against others... and that is just not a good thing to do. I create because I like to create, not because I have to impress anyone else or be better than anyone else. I created this blog with a lot of help from my son-in-law, as a personal scrap book that I am happy to share with others if they wish to take a look.... Enjoy <><

Stargazer lily in sugarpaste

I made this stargazer lily at my sugar craft lesson with Janet Melillo.  She is an amazing teacher and I was overwhelmed to be able to make this lily under her instruction in a way that makes it look so real. I loved it so much that I decided it wasn't going on a cake, instead I have placed it in a glass vase and have it on my shelf over the fireplace.  I had a wonderful compliment when Carol and Bev visited our home from the USA, Carol actually thought it was real.... and she was holding the vase in her hand!  Thank you Janet for sharing your God given talent and being so willing to help others aspire to greater things.
