My Daughter has encouraged me to start this Blog as a record of my creative activities, as she thinks others will be interested in reading my entries, and hearing about my creative exploits. This seemed strange to me at first being a gal who is technologically challenged, but maybe she is right and someone out there might be inspired or encouraged by my entries, which will make it all worth while.
Handicrafts have fascinated me since I was quite young, having been taught to sew by my Grandmother; to crochet by my Great Aunt; and to knit by my Mother, each of these pursuits I find therapeutic at various times and I delight in recycling purely for the fun and affordability.
This has lead to a keen interest and much delight in treasure hunting predominately at Op Shops and the local Car Boot Sale. While being involved for several years in a Cloth Doll Club I discovered a talent of recording both club and personal activities in rhyme, I have a happy knack of observing the special in the mundane and seeing the funny side of things so I continue to write about everyday topics and events. My faith in God colours my life and is integral to who I am and what I do. This culminated in my first book 'Flights of Fancy'.
So grab a cuppa and sit back, relax and enjoy... here I go!
Love
Simply Susan
About Simply Susan
- Simply Susan
- Made in England, Susan grew up particularly enjoying collecting second hand books and visiting jumble sales for bargains. She moved to Australia where she developed a passion for 'Treasure' hunting in opportunity shops. This led to her home becoming a refuge for orphaned bears and an assortment of hand made objects. Susan loves to spend her time creating beautiful country crafts and writing poems about her creations and life experiences. When not busily sewing or writing Susan enjoys hosting themed afternoon teas for her friends and relaxing in her home on the beautiful Gold Coast. May you enjoy Simply Susan's musings.
Aha! I don't believe it - I think you're pretty IT minded.. perhaps more than some of us 'younger generation'...
