About Me

My Photo
NEARBYTREE
London, United Kingdom
Self taught Artist - always been involved with arts and crafts and over the years this has helped keep my sanity as I have coped with dialysis & then a kidney transplant (with all its complications) - together with caring for our son through repeated brain tumours surgeries. I've always written & painted, but over the years I've made jewellery, spun & dyed wool and silk, made pictorial weavings and created cards and countless scrapbooks. More recently I have been making silk collages (which I embroider and bead)and dry felting which I embellish by hand. I feel it is important to make the most of every day - not just through what I create - but in how I live my life

I Wasted Time...


I wasted time, and now doth time waste me;
For now hath time made me his numbering clock:
My thoughts are minutes; and with sighs they jar
Their watches on unto mine eyes, the outward watch,
Whereto my finger, like a dial's point,
Is pointing still, in cleansing them from tears.
Now sir, the sound that tells what hour it is
Are clamorous groans, which strike upon my heart,
Which is the bell: so sighs and tears and groans
Show minutes, times, and hours"
