Hooked on spinning yarns
Want to hear the one about the girl who took up crocheting? It’ll have you in stitches! I’ve put my idle hands to use and starting making hats.
Just a little bit More

A picture paints a thousand words
I’ve recently finished my latest commission for a painting. I love being creative so it’s always a pleasure to do some artwork for others. The thought of someone having something I created hanging on their wall is very flattering so here’s some examples of my work. All done in acrylic on canvas.
