Handmade cards, artwork & knitwear made with love and prayers

I'm Cathy. I love to craft and make items. I have a craft studio dedicated to my craft stash at home. One purchase lead to another...
I try, as much as possible, to use environmentally friendly resources (except the fuse beads :() and recycle as much as I can from local charity shops.
I was taught to knit by my late Grandma and over the years dabbled. I enjoy knitting items for others and pour love and prayers into everything I knit. I source non-animal yarn (I'm a vegetarian - no lectures from me unless you ask questions).
I started to make cards for myself in 2005 and have enjoyed trying out different techniques. I grew up being told and believing I wasn't arty and would avoid craft if I could. I watched a demonstration and realised I could do that. And so my card making adventure started.
My artwork is a new experiment. I came across fuse beads (not environmentally friendly) and liked the similarity between the beads and cross stitch - the original pixel art? - and will transition from the beads to cross stitch and may try quilling.
