Hello

Well, I have finally decided that it's about time I started a blog... So, what shall I say? My name is Helen and I like to make stuff - when I grow up I would like to be a textile artist please. And in the meantime I make all sorts of things and sell some of them in two Etsy shops and one Folksy shop.

Perhaps I should say, I NEED to make stuff. This evening we turned off our lights for an hour (and the TV and computers etc. etc.) to take part in the worldwide Earth Hour. It is so hard to make anything by candlelight - I was getting really twitchy by the end of the hour! What I was trying to make was some of these flowers - I think I could have chosen an easier colour to work with in the dark...
