About Miriam Rogers

Hi, I have been married to Paul for what seems like forever & that's the way I want it to stay. We have a son, now 21 and a Greyhound who is bonkers. I play with paper and glue, I love flowers! and anything that I can hang from anywhere with ribbon. If you need me I can be found in the garden with my camera or in my craft room, come in through the gate, I'll make you a coffee or if it's after 6 you can join me in a glass or wine, or e-mail me. Housework is low on my 'to do' list.

Folding Pages

I have been folding book pages for a few weeks now. I have always admired book art in all its forms. A few years ago I folded every magazine that came through the door into beautiful Christmas trees! Obsessed was a word heard a few times around here then.

Here’s what Ive been up to.

The Heart of the Travelling Matchmaker
The instructions didn’t say to start in the middle of the book and count backwards and forwards! I’m going to re-do this.

The Cloister and the Hearth
A PHD (project half done) This book is very small and has 720 very fine pages, it reminds me of a prayer book and is called ‘The Cloister and the Hearth’ I just want to see how fine pages fold. I do a few pages when I’m waiting for something – ideas, pages to load, doctors appointment, YouTube video’s, you know the sort of thing?

It’s lots of fun and takes my mind off a health issue I have which is being investigated over the last two and next two weeks.
Obviously all will be well, I’ll keep folding, will let you know and show you the finished ‘Cloister’ – eventually!

Pairs Week 16

It’s everywhere! Rhubarb that is. I nearly bought a crown this week but fortunately resisted. It’s not that I don’t like it, I do, just once in a crumble is fabulous and that’s enough for me.
Anyway last year during week 15 of Helena’s Zoom In/Zoom Out meme I posted these pictures. I’ve re-purposed them into Outside/Inside for Pairs – just because I can and I absolutely love the colours of rhubarb and terracotta together.

I am sure that none of you will have any idea what this is because you will never have seen it before 😉

We are having some amazing weather here in the west country. Sunny and warm & yesterday was positively hot! Does anyone want me to send you some?
