  • SUMMER COLLECTION 2019

    Introducing my new SUMMER COLLECTION 2019 – three new colour combinations that I hope will inspire your creativity.

  • TEMARI

    If you are not familiar with TEMARI balls then you are in for a treat today.  I was very surprised at the recent EAC seminar when I was presented with one of Verna’s beautiful temari balls as a gift.  She had made it especially for me using Colour Complements threads.  Verna specializes in temari balls…

  • FAIRY HOUSES

    On a recent window shopping trip in one of our local towns, I came across these beautiful crocheted FAIRY HOUSES!  Someone put a lot of time and effort into these beauties.  If you look closely, you can see the detail.  I looked up fairy houses online and found they are small structures for the fairies…
