Today's Brooch

Lizzy and I are very aware that we have been ever so slightly lax in our blogging! Please forgive us, we have something sooo exciting to tell you about in the very, very near future. Please bear with us.
In the meantime, we have had some beautiful ribbons to play with. This weekend I have been looking at this wonderful bundle from The Craft Channel - link here so have created a brooch which I shall wear this week. I'm very into brooches at the moment. Of course, it will make a great present for someone special so I have photographed it on a gift bag, also available - link here
I hope you like it.

Rossella

I have crafted for as long as I can remember. There were the Nature Scrapbooks with mum. Great Auntie Minnie teaching me to crochet and embroider, I made my own clothes by the age of ten.

As a teenager I taught myself tatting, lace making and beading. I began a beading group locally about 10 years ago which I still run with my friends.

After discovering Parchment Craft Sixteen years ago, I fell in love with this beautiful craft and became a registered tutor.

I began teaching crafts at a local craft shop and privately and this progressed to demonstrating on Create and Craft TV for nearly three years. This is where Lizzy, the Hinge to my Bracket, and I first met and our friendship began.

I was taught to sew by my Mum and Mrs Newby my primary school teacher, I learnt to crochet and knit by my Auntie Hazel, I too was making my own clothes by the time I was 10.

I enjoyed patchwork and quilting starting my City and Guilds, not quite finishing, but there's plenty of time! I started to enjoy playing with digital images learning to colour using copics, and ventured into papercrafting 7 years ago.

I joined Create and Craft nearly 3 years ago and that is where I met Bracket, I mean Rossella. We share the same passion of crafting and here is where the adventure really starts.....
