Just returned from holiday, and only now getting back into the swing of life at home. So many things to do, and all of them interesting; too much choice can be a bad thing! Having started out making felt as a hobby, I moved onto jewellery as a way to refocus my life after redundancy, this led onto working with glass, and then sewing, then aplique. I feel like Red Riding Hood in the forest; always seeing another beautiful flower ahead, and wanting to look at it and smell it and feel its petals. There are so many gorgeous materials to work with, and the end result is always satisfying, because it's come from my own hands - no matter if it's a thing of beauty to anyone else! But in case these things are of interest to others, I also have a Folksy site with a few things on it http://www.folksy.com/shops/Artemis which I have really enjoyed making.
I'm sooned to be joined on this site by the other half of HoppyOkey Designs, known professionally as Fell Wanderer. He specialises in photographing the more remote and hard to reach parts of the Lake District, though has been known to take some valley shots as well! I'll leave him to write more about his work, but if you want to take a look at the photographs, see the photo galleries at http://www.hoppyokeydesigns.co.uk/ or Fell Wanderer's shop on Folksy at http://www.folksy.com/shops/FellWanderer
