My name is Pauline and since I was "knee high to a grasshopper" I've loved crafting, so a few years ago I decided to pass on my love of crafting to others and started teaching. I even studied for my teacher training diploma through Canterbury Christ Church University!
Quite a feat for a person approaching retirement! But heck who's going to retire - I have so much still to achieve and so much knowledge still to pass on.
My last project was making a padded sewing box which was inspired after I saw a friend's, and the results look pretty good (even though I say it myself) and I'm really proud of my handiwork - here are a couple of photos :
The smaller box was made a few months ago when I was feeling bored and had some cardboard and material scraps left over from another project - just goes to show - a little material and a little imagination goes a long way. I'll be making a few as Christmas presents but will add tassels or beads and brighter material - look out for the pictures!
I also just finished teaching a course at our local Adult Education College entitled "Introduction to Event & Wedding Planning" where one of the sessions involved the students creating floral arrangements suitable to use as table arrangements for a wedding. See the results below along with two of my students:
They were pretty pleased with themselves as you can tell from the photo....
I'm currently working on a patchwork bag and as soon as I have finished it I'll post it here for all to see. Meanwhile why not check out my husband's website - www.dickslane.com - he's a very good photographer and can always use extra work!!!
That's all for now will be back soon. Hope you have enjoyed my first blog and please leave me your comments.
