Sharing the joy of creating
My purpose is to write blog posts that delight my readers, bringing tears of joy to their eyes, creativity to their souls, and love to their hearts. I want to change the world for the better by sharing heartfelt messages of goodwill, gratitude, and kindness with my growing community of international readers.
I’ll share my story and creativity to inspire you to live your best life. It’s possible to let go of the 80% that seems important but isn’t, and focus on the 20% where joy and growth live. I’d like to help you find that 20% by showing how I found my happy place.

Through my blog, I’ll invite you—no matter where you are on this beautiful blue planet—to sit with me for a bit. I’ll share what I’m working on, from wins and trials to recipes, knitting patterns, or a new painting. Most of all, I want to share love and friendship with you and see how I can support you.
Be prepared for shopping opportunities as part of my blog and website, as this is how I’ll earn a living and support myself in my ‘sort-of’ retirement. I sell knitting patterns, hand-painted and dyed yarn and fabric, fine art paintings, prints, notecards, and sola wood florals. I won’t use affiliate links or feature advertising on this site, so rest assured it will be a peaceful space where you can put your feet up, sip a cuppa your favorite beverage, and leave the cares of the world behind.
Thank you for being here, I hope I am able to help you have a better day.
