About
I'm a bit of a nomad. I've lived in loads of different places in the UK. I moved to Cumbria around a year ago and really love being close to my family. I have slowly been exploring the county and making it home.
I've loved making things for as long as I can remember. My favourite crafts are embroidery, crochet, jewellry making and machine sewing. Recently I have been doing more cooking and I have been enjoying trying new recipes and growing my own herbs. Crafting is a really social activity for me, so I join craft groups whereever I'm living, and of course I love CO + K for sharing ideas and chatting to other crafters.
I like:
- Vintage-style things
- Owls, birds, hearts and roses
- Bright geometric prints
- Vintage flower prints and florals in general
- Nature and natural history
- Recycling and upcycling
- Collage
- Comics and graphic novels
- Anime and manga (inc. studio Ghibli)
- Fashion
- Vintage Sci-fi books (think Philip K. Dick, Arthur C. Clarke and J. G. Ballard).
I collect:
- Books
- Beads and charms
- Postcards and flyers
Crafts I do:
- Embroidery
- Hand sewing
- Machine sewing
- Bead weaving
- Other jewellry making techniques (wire wrapping & macrame)
- Crochet
- knitting
- Paper crafts (inc. Collage)
- Origami (Beginner)

They have a lot of how-to's with clear instructions. Although a lot do use kit I don't have. I'd like to make bangles but I don't have the things for making canes. If I get into it more I might invest.
i had fixed the problem to a less one, the tap was only small running and i knew i must kept the inner tin out to don't have all the water allaround.LOL
that's why i had all those stress.
i called for help by the house cooperation and they thought i was just a blond women-aaargh, i was stupid and not self suportive so it could be wait till thursday.
i thought okay Jet time to cry.LOL
i did and it helped. aargh.LOL
hate this but when you must act like the prejudgeable thoughts of such men i must ;LOL
so one maganic came to morrow and told me i can't fix this, i knew i have had this problem in the kitchen as well.
these tabs are very special and very expensive when something is broken it's really broken.
so i have asked if he could stop the running water at first he didn't want it.
so i'm out of shower. LOL back till the early 50ths.
when i was a child we had not a shower as well.
sooo i hope this tab order will come soon.
uhm it's now thuesday and i have just heard that the tab will come over 3 weeks-S
think i must ask some help of friends with washing my hair without a shower.
No those people aren't fun around me.LOL The problem with t hat friend is that he is in love on me.
but i don't want him.LOL
he is a nice man but he has the opposite of my brains and thats why i 'm getting always troubles with him.
I have learned to deal with him , he is really nice and kind for just a friend or aquentance.
he's more the last one, but he count himself as a friend.
okay he has had a heavy time , very sad but... it's not okay for me to talk with him and gave him advice and listen to him. because at the end of the talk he always complains Jet you're such a big talker.-S
i always tells him then you must talk more.
he don't!!!
and he don't understand my work really and my health problems, he complains alot of his tiny problems so i must shut my move with a zipper to stop my big groan.LOL
on such moments with such damaged things in the house i wish John was still alive.-S
but that's not the reallity.;-D
John is my death partner, this summer it's six year.
he has got a big place in my heart .XD we were together 22 years.
he was a great awesome hubby..LOL
we didn't lived in one house together we had our own houses nearby, that was working much better.
so the problem was of leaving this house that i felt i was leaving his place as well.
but after some mouring and setting myself free i could accept this order,knowing that my helping friends wouldn't leave me and offered to help me with the move.
Yesterday i had two movers as well for making me a offer.
the first was a nice man, the seccond was very polite but a pain in the ass.LOL
excuse me for the words.LOL
i don't have a commen household and that was where he was complaining of and i noticed that he knew the new house of me. , so i think it 's a dad of one of the others new neighbours of me-S
thought humm if i had known this i didn't had asked you to come.
must talk about this last one man with my friends.
and waiting for the offer.
i had to do too much yesterday so i have now a migraine, i have taken my meds so it's now much better, but it's feeling i'm worn out today.
so i only will threads the curtains i'm working on.LOL
i'm glad that the running is over, it's much better.
hey hope you have a nice good creative day, much love and dutch greetings;-XD
jet xxxxxx
thank you for asking me as your friend. like that.
and yeaaaaah we're now really friends.LOL
hey must eat something it's here 20.10 and i forgot to eat the whole day.LOL
and must take meds.
i'm just a riding chemistry.LOL
hey till later and sleep well , much hugs and kisses
jetxxxxxxxxxxx
i have very special expensive taps for my not so handy body.LOL
and one is broken and i couldn't fixed it.
i have used all my hardware tools but now way. i have had the same problem with the kitchen tap as well.
and i couldn't used it after the meganic man came by for some weeks because he had to order a new one.
so no showers for me.LOL
hate that.=S
i called Gerard but he wasn't in a creative mood,
so tomorrow i will have in my house three vistotors -S
two movers for making me an offer and the m eganic.
hate that when you know you can't fixed it. i have tried to close the main tap but my dear neigbhours had set heavy funiture in front of that closet.
and when i had removed it finely i saw i couldn't close that one as well to tightly.-S
so now the water is still runing-S
not fine and good and not healthy for me this is a tooo moistery house allready.
my furries hadn't a nice day as well they were yelling so i yelled back.-S
hate this such a pitty to spend my less energy on a stupid broken tap-S
Hated it that i haven't a handy man besides me.LOL
hum i had have called a friend but then i must talk socialy as well.LOL
didn;t liked that idea.LOL
he is nice but not good for me.
i'm more his therapist .LOL
always must listen to him or tell him what to do.LOL
One curtain is finished because i was running out of lids.LOL
so it will a half curtain.
that's good as well.
and i the other of tubes it much work, it 's very pretty but... don't think to make a much larger piece , sooo i think i will make for the rest of it.
thin fabric and for the large room in the toilet at the side of the galery i will make a screen i think.
i can understand that.LOL it's not fine when people can see your sitting.LOL
when i was hospitalized all the doors had windows and not closed till t he floor doors so you could hear each other what they were doing.LOL
and watching as well, didn't liked it, i had to stay there for 6 long weeks
but i found out what they couldn't see so i had some privacy all though.LOL
my whole house here is my working place, not great and fine, i had a working space but when John died it was over. i have stand for a long time for a new space on a waitinglist till i found out that it wasn't driveable for me-S
and yeaah this is great and fine. i always wanted something like that as well.
I know where you talking about.LOL
storing is the biggest problem for us crafters.
Now i have an other strange problem my friend had allready wrapped to much material of me, so i must buy the whole time new one-S
don't like it anymore.
have thought of more ideas for my class curtains but i must make a lot.LOL
i like to have a house full of my own work and designs , and i think the assistents that must come everyday over the floor to help me with my daily live things will be shocked.LOL
often those helping people are boring people but i need their hands and arms to lent.LOL
but the idea of getting help when i want and need them without appointments is soooo great.
this new house is sooo big because it is a driveable appartment for wheelies.
and i'm very lucky to got it, i have waited for this house almost 9 years.
i have been listed for such an appartment so long.
not fine.
my house where i live now isn't soo drivealbe so i have everyday a lot of troubles .
but ... it's soon over.
hey i have rent such houses like you as well in the past, just try to be comfy and cozy inside with your own stuff around you.;-D
that's what i did in every home of me.
in this one i have lived very long 25 years.LOL
but that was because i was waiting for a fokus appartment and john was living nearby.
it s here big as well but not a handy home for me , i'm not stabile so i'm getting thourght the time worse.
don't worry i can handle it.LOL
humm sometimes not but that's normal .LOL
hey have a great nice week with alot creativity. and herbs are great .!!!!!
much love hugs and kisses till later;-D xxxxxxxxxxxxx
hey thank you for your faves on the paperclip necklaces.
i love the coloured one the best, but... that's me.LOL
i love too much colours.
hey much fun with the making of and now you can make the bracelet you have seen with the beads on them.
i don't have time to make it, i'm working on glass curtains,
it cost me a lot of work and time.
i thought it would be smart to make of wc tubes curtains. aaargh sooo much work okay the result is awesome and cool but i thought i will make them for the large sliding wall on the south side but... it's tooo large and big for this .LOL
don't have so much tubes but mayby later.
i think i must make as well normal boring ones for just a while.LOL
and i must make a curtain for the toilet, everybody can see you sitting on the toilet.LOL
stupid.LOL
my friend told me that they had thought wrong with the building this appartments. I have seen a house with the same stupid mistake.
and i had to laught of it, and thougt this will only happening with expensive houses.
but now i have it as well.
i saw in an other large closet that there was a door to go outside to the galery.
strange.
but it's the place where you must relouded the batteries of your wheels and so on and the washing machine.-S
i want him in the kitchen/livingroom i have him now as well standing there.LOL
i think i make people totalllly mixed up with all my not adjusting ideas.LOL
they would h ave liked that i sleep in the large badroom, but it way to big for just a small bed, i will drawn in the space.LOL
so i will sleep in the smaller bedroom.LOL
the large one is like my living room sized 7 by 4. sooo.
it will be my workingplace.
and that one is on the north what want a girl more.LOL
hey have a nice lazy crazy sunday afternoon , xxxx
thank you for letting me know that you find the tute greate.
i use alot picts because english isn't my daily langues, so often it's hard to try to explain in english what i meand.
but i know this can be frightning for some people.
but i often try as well to tell the no no's and what i did done wrong.LOL
think that's importend for some of us, we can learn sooo much of each other.
i'm working now on curtains for my new home , lot of work-S
it's all about saving materials.LOL
I'll make the glass curtains of reycling materials.LOL
i'm the last on the row of the fokus appartments , on the other side , those people have to walk aside my home there are only 2 houses.
but i think i have the greatest house got.LOL
i 'm the only one that has before the windows plant throughts for the windows on the streetside.
like that.LOL
they had put in them dutch plants. gerarniums don't know the english word for it.
often we make jokes about this plant lot's of dutch people had in old times those plants in front the windows and when you aren't mobile they make often the joke you will sit behind the geraniums.LOL
humm always difficult to translate a typical dutch joke.;-D
wooow are you scottisch awesome!!!
have seen on tele much of your country.
hey must go to the librairy, now , have a nice fun crafty weekend
xxx
oooh thank you for letting me know that you liked it.
i have write it on the comment on her tute as well.LOL I think she don't like that.LOL
but i hate it when people have made good tutes allready and for free that others try to make many of their projects.
but i thought you will probably don't see my comment so i will tell you of mine.
And i think things can be done more cheaper with awesome results.
okay i love her work but it 's most the time the same.
some months before i have almost written the same comment about that as well.
but thought let her go..
i like the sharing here and the ideas and for free and not selling and making money people can do that on their own blogs.
Don't you think?
hey thank you for your sweet big complement , love them, blossing.LOL
You make greate projects as well, very coloured awesome, must jump to them.;-D
hope you have much profite of them and be crafty and creative. XD
so take a look;-D
thought perhaps you like it.
she added the beads with thin wire to the bracelet but you can add them as well on the paperclips as well with threading them on the wire or with some glue.
hope this was helpful for you;-D
