I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans;
I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.
- William Blake

This is my first blog...  believe it or not, I learned how to blog from my mother, who is quite computer literate. (You can see her blog at GrannyMarigold's Blog.)

I am 48 and live alone with my Shih Tzu puppy, Caper, on the West Coast of Beautiful British Columbia.

I'm a very arty, creative person and I want to share some of what I do here. Right now, I am exploring the world of fabric, particularly repurposing beautifully beaded and embroidered saris, which I buy from thrift stores.



Here are some early pictures... I will be replacing/adding as I have the time.

This is Jacinth. Her jewelry is done, I still have to do her hair and find/make some slippers.

This is Amaranth, a present for my 10yo niece. She still needs jewelry and a hairdo.

A heart-shaped tin covered in bits of beaded embroidery.

Another tin, more colorful than the first.

A work in progress, this velvet will be on a round tin with a padded top.
