You are a very talented girl and it is a shame that you weren't encouraged to carry on with your creative gift at school - it makes me sad that schools don't value art and craft subjects. (My daughter had to struggle through her A level textiles without a teacher for a year!) <BR/><BR/>I couldn't resist treating myself to a little something from your etsy shop - I can't wait to received them!<BR/>Niki xNiki Fretwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453900065526512512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873936386745599407.post-6196656415661994552007-11-13T20:16:00.000+00:002007-11-13T20:16:00.000+00:00I loved your comments on why you craft/create.

I used to make doll's house furniture out of match boxes and did French knitting and ordinary knitting and played games of 'pretend' - my crafting hasn't developed in the way yours has though.

It's easy to slip into a comfortable routine and post about things you've made or things you've bought, so it's always refreshing when someone writes from the heart. <BR/>I was a creative child too, although I had 2 brothers but they certainly didn't want to do girly stuff with me! I was very shy like you and enjoy my own company to this day.I know what you mean about needing to create, I have to have something on the go always, whatever it may be. It satisfies a need in me, sounds a bit odd I know and non-creative people just wouldn't get it! I think everybody should have a hobby, I know people whose lives seem so empty at times and they do nothing creative at home..how sad. <BR/>Lovely post.Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14622219985656850271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873936386745599407.post-14421049484362702932007-11-09T22:14:00.000+00:002007-11-09T22:14:00.000+00:00You make gorgeous things and obviously have loads ...You make gorgeous things and obviously have loads of pleasure from creating them.<BR/>Margaret and Noreen at THYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873936386745599407.post-19391385776314370552007-11-09T21:31:00.000+00:002007-11-09T21:31:00.000+00:00hi,please keep on with your blog and crafting as I...hi,please keep on with your blog and crafting as I have been following your tales for the last few months now. Went into a shop in Hastings at half term (I was visiting my husbands family as we actually live in Lancashire) and saw some ragged tea cosy's in there. I don't drink tea ever but did buy a gorgous pompom (and a pin cushion curtousy of plump pudding) just wondering if it was one of yours??? As it looks like the one of the ones you talk about hence the reason for buying it.Janettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388703823825267868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873936386745599407.post-18626234728546953872007-11-09T20:51:00.000+00:002007-11-09T20:51:00.000+00:00I enjoyed your answers and I LOVE your photos!I enjoyed your answers and I LOVE your photos!dottycookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15295592896941235130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873936386745599407.post-46782282564720716172007-11-09T20:44:00.000+00:002007-11-09T20:44:00.000+00:00Nice to read about your crafting... you make beaut...Nice to read about your crafting... you make beautiful things!Berberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18006496226127339521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873936386745599407.post-54613074153945364212007-11-09T20:16:00.000+00:002007-11-09T20:16:00.000+00:00I think that I was a little like you as a child, m...I think that I was a little like you as a child, my sister and brother being so much older that me, I felt like an only child.<BR/> I love to make things, Blue Peter and Magpie......<BR/>I have enjoyed reading your meme.<BR/>The rag rugs have facinated me since seeing them being made in a NT Property is Derybshire.
