Thank you so much for the beautiful embroidery of my husband… such painstaking work and just beautiful. It is a professional piece of work and lovely to hang on my wall.

We are absolutely delighted with this portrait of my mother… The quality of the embroidery is stunning. [You have] selected shades that enhance the tones and light of the original photograph, and which have captured my mother’s image and really brought it to life.

I was thrilled… with the embroidered portrait… of my late husband. [You caught] the kindness of his eyes and the good humour in his smile. It will become a family heirloom.

I can’t believe that you have made the embroidery of my husband so lifelike. I have it right in front of me, so I can see his portrait every day. It is wonderful Anna. You are very talented.
I love it.

Craft and Games as Infants: PART TWO
Craft and Games as Infants: PART TWO
Good morning everyone,
One of our craft activities was making pictures from old match sticks. Usually, we would just arrange them into a picture but on occasion we’d stick them on to the back of a cereal box. These cereal boxes were our only regular source of cardboard other than shoe-boxes.
One of the books I treasured was a Ladybird book: Things to Make. It showed you how to make […]

Craft and Games as Infants: PART ONE
For most of our play-time, my siblings and I would entertain ourselves, but sometimes on wet days Mum would get out art and craft things for us to do. Our paints were old watercolours in a large tin, purchased at a local jumble sale. We would have water in a jam-jar or old meat paste jar and paint anything we liked. I did try painting in a favourite colouring […]
Memories of Grandma: Part Three
Memories of Grandma: Part Three
On sunny days, Grandma would be outside with her wooden wash tub, wash-board, a large cream mangle and wide gypsy pegs. Her hands would be red in the water, from the heat and all the rubbing. Then once rinsed, she would lift the clothes to feed into the mangle, and if they were small items, I’d catch them as they came through the other side. I was fascinated to watch all […]

Memories of Grandma: Part Two
Good morning everyone, this is part two of three, about memories of my Grandmother.
If any of us asked our Grandmother how old she was, she would reply, “As old as my tongue and a little bit older than my teeth.” For it was impolite to ask a lady her age. Once we understood the meaning behind the words, we would ask her, just so she could come out with her phrase […]

Good morning, everyone,
The trips across to Grandma’s, I usually took with my younger brother, as there were only 14 months between us. At some preschool age, we would climb the steep steps to Grandma’s bungalow, which was opposite our house, and be welcomed by Kip. Kip was a cross between an Alsatian and Collie. He absolutely loved us children and was born around the same time as my younger brother.
As […]
My Earliest Memories
My Earliest Memories.
Good morning, everyone,
The earliest memories I have are around the age of 12 months. I know I couldn’t walk, and my mother told me we all walked around 14 months of age.
I have one vivid memory of myself sitting on a cushion in the lounge with various toys around me.
To my left was a group of 6 coloured wooden pegs, which were hammered down. In-front of me, were a selection of graduated, coloured […]
