Viv moved from Lancashire to Kirkcudbright in the winter of 1996. Some years ago ,she went to a lace-making group in Castle Douglas. The lady running it invited the group to her house to make appliqué Christmas cards. She was hooked, and started to make appliqué cards of her own design.
She`s tried various crafts but has gone back to what she knows best, which is knitting. Last year she thought it would be fun to get the needles out and knit traditional and not so traditional tea cosies. To complete the tea party she made some knitted cup cakes and sweets. This triggered an interest in old knitting patterns, some of which she`s experimented with, to produce greeting cards.
