This month I have been crocheting a gazillion doilies and flowers, as I have pretty much lost my mojo for much else. This next few days I need to concentrate on me, my sugar is through the roof, my lymphoedema is out of control, and nothing is improving it, mainly because for England its rather warm so the heat isn't helping the swelling, so much so Im in incredible pain with it, I now have 51% of my liver in working order, and am absolutely terrified,(hence a bit of a dark hole) but hey ho life goes on and I still have plenty to do. Grandkids to play with and chaos to create! Plus I need to keep the ole gezza on his toes.

I am still about, watching all the beautiful makes and enjoying all of your flip throughs, posts, and comments. I am also looking forward to July, I AM going to find the aloof mojo, although I know its not under the table nor is it under the bed! Im thinking the ole gezza shoved it in the wardrobe, hoping out of sight out of mind might work, (he hates cleaning my enthusiastic chaotic messy creative art up lol )

Heres to an active July hope you all enjoy whats coming up and have lots of pics for me :)

Hello, friends! I’m happy to be here with you all! I’m Steph and I am a budding artist; for many years as a child and young adult, I was discouraged from pursuing anything art related and encouraged to pursue academics. So, I set aside my arty side to study; that all came crashing to halt due to a nasty car accident at 21 that caused me to become disabled. I ended up quitting college and getting married; I turned to needlework (crochet, knitting, cross stitch, and sewing) to help me ground myself while raising my three daughters. Now they are grown, I’ve decided to explore the arty side I turned away from all those years ago. I discovered junk and art journaling and am truly enjoying exploring and experimenting with different mediums. I’m looking forward to meeting you all!

Hello! Happy to see you here on Substack! I’ve been working on a daily slow stitching project and a couple of hand bound books.

Looking forward to working with the Amalfi Coast kit!
