The musings of a magpie minded thirty something. My name is Helen, I’m married with no kids (apart from DH and two cats). I love fabrics and fibres and all things related. I enjoy photography and nature and the places where mankind’s works are being reclaimed by nature. I find all sorts of things to interest me and am easily distractable by new pretties or interesting bits of information. I have lots of WIPS which I am trying to complete before starting any new projects…

Hi Helen – I just nominated you for an award. dont feel you have to pass it on if you dont have time, but I wanted to pass it along to you.
Hi Helen,
I have just received your postcard, I have blogged about it on my blog and put a picture there, it is a real masterpiece and so beautifully made, every time I see it I feel like going beach combing. It’s going to find it’s way on my wall, I just need a little frame. Thank you so much, yours is on the way, sorry for the delay, it’s been a terrible week or so but I think we’re ok now. I hope you like the one I have sent to you. Thank you again you are a real artist. Tricia
Hello Helen,
Great to see the slow-worm photos!
I live in the north west and we don’t find many of these animals here. Not to be deterred I’m working on a project with volunteers to promote awareness of slow-worms (and other reptiles) in the north west and to encourage people to pass on records of where they’re found. If there’s any chance of using some of your photos to promote reptiles and increase understanding of them that’d be much appreciated. If you’ve any queries on this please get in touch and I can give you further details.
Many thanks,
David
