<br />
Anyway I have been voluntering and working with The Rushden cluster (Rusheden community college ) and various Rushden schools.We have been working on a collaboration With Northamptonshire county council and Doc Martens.<br />
<br />
I was approached and asked if I could design and create a Doc marten boot that could be made completely from landfill waste .I Went to meetings and found out what ideas' they had and how we do it.The kids loved the idea.And they had some fab idea's .We eventually settled on a scuplture that we could fill with household waste.So I went away and made a small mock up using materials and watse from the Pheonix recycling centre in Raunds.I came up with this.<br />

Next step was to create a larger version for the kids to decorate and fill with household waste.<br />
<br />
Good thing the weather has been nice and a partner that can follow instructions.<br />

The construction off the boot took 4 days on and off.Chris my partner was a huge help.So this was the 3and half ft boot in my garden .All constructed from materials rescued from landfill.I had some netting too that was to go on the boot. I decided to let the kids put that on and then we had been given scrap leather ,laces soles that were going to landfill from Doc Martens.We would use these to decorate the boot.I then left the children to decorate the boot how they wanted to .They had some great ideas and asked if they were possible and they then went ahead and created this .<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The boot is now moving round Rushden and surrounding area.I believe it is currently in Higham high street in an empty shop window.Then will be moving onto Asda,waitrose and then Rushden library.<br /><br />Bettys Delightshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15625857334738634349noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193134917103187052.post-60594200696869308982013-03-03T02:31:00.001-08:002013-03-03T02:31:20.499-08:00New portraits<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Have been busy trying to create new pieces.My poor partner has only been asking for this piece for two years.I thought I should really at least give it a try haha.He is very happy with it .It was mounted and framed the minute I finished it .Bettys Delightshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15625857334738634349noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193134917103187052.post-88445498267651574222012-11-26T11:51:00.002-08:002012-11-26T11:51:13.537-08:00Long time no blogHey sorry it has been so long But I am not great at blogging and find it hard to get the incling to actually do anything blog wise .But I do try to remember .I have seen researching and experimenting with style and colouring of my work .I hope to keep on experimenting and go where creativity takes me.<br />
<br />
I have started to think and pressure myself with creating for money but to just create because I love it and it seems to be a better way for me to go and seem to have flogged a few bits to so all good haha.<br />

<br />
<ul>
<li>Sure start office worker = 6months.</li>
<li>Head chairperson for charity based after school club = Approximately 2 years.</li>
<li>Charity shop worker .</li>
<li>Dostiyo ,I run a craft session for the ladies.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">NCS = National citizenhip service .Week of tutoring ,caring and working with 16 and 17 year olds.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"> http://www.ufa.org.uk/young-peoples-activities/national-citizen-service</li>
</ul>

I never knew what exactly was for me on the volunteering front.I have enjoyed all the positions in which I took part in .But one has really stood out from the others.I never once thought I would be good with teenagers !!!!.They scared me and I often would look at them and judge them by the way they behaved.But I found that when working with young adults that had behavoural issues ,adhd, dyspraxia,autism and general issues at home or background.I found fell into a comfortbale understanding world.I was shocked at first but then as I got to learn about the young adults and their problems it hit me how wrong I had been to judge them on what I believed were just anti social behavioural problems.These young adults had problems beyond belief and as the week went on they learn't to trust me and I them.I loved being around them and loved spending time with them.I have never loved ,laughed and cried so much in one week.It was an emotional rollercoaster but one I would so do again.I now am finding I smile when I wake ,I laugh more,I am far more laid back and see things really differantly than before.I understand better young adults and the problems they have .I now know what I was mean't to do and that has made me one very happy lady .And apparently I am a natural youth worker and I tend to agree .I have never met such a loving ,caring bunch of kids .They have so much to offer and I felt that week we made them believe in themselves ....they enjoyed their time spent with us and I to with them ...Oh I am gooey again haha ....:))))))))))) .I am going to leave it there but I know youth work will be somewhere I definately visit again .TerriBettys Delightshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15625857334738634349noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193134917103187052.post-74775720675616021122012-07-07T06:28:00.002-07:002012-07-07T06:50:53.296-07:00oh dear my blogging skills definately need brushing up on.<i>Hmmmm not really good at blogging. I keep promising myself I will blog then I get writers block.And then I forget or just run out of time.I know I should and </i><i>know that I will not get to show all you wonderfull people out their in the world my passions and my art.</i><br />
<br />
<i>I am terrible at tweeting </i>,<i>Really still don't fully understand it </i>.<i>And again forget to do it.I have tried pinterest and lost interest but then sometimes I remember and post a few bits and bobs.I forget my emails and rarely check my website.I think my mind is more on creating physically than creating a blog with my fingertips.I will get there eventually .I think my brain just needs time to get used to it all haha.I lost interest in technology some time ago ,actually many years ago when I saw how it seemed to effect peoples means of communicating.I found rude people talking on phones when at the cash register.I found people cutting me up in the street walking into me due to texting .People answering phones while driving and not caring about the consequences.I think I am possibly not against technology as much as I go on about it but possibly more the people that use it haha.People listening to mp3 players or i pods whilst in public seems to me to give the impression they are rude and do not want to speak to anyone </i>.<i>And often end up slamming on the brakes to stop hitting them as they did not look to check for cars as normal but they could not hear them due to the high levels of music in their eardrums.</i><br />
<br />
Haha how on earth has this blog gone from my bad bloggin skills to rudeness of people .........oh I see haha I think I went of trail somewhere .Anyway blogging .................................................................... um yes ...yeah sorry must try harder ; ) TXBettys Delightshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15625857334738634349noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193134917103187052.post-46436532264520087332012-05-18T07:50:00.001-07:002012-05-18T07:50:02.369-07:00What is a girl to do ? I don't know !!!!!!I have just yet yet another Etsy bill threw.And yet again I have not sold a thing.I have alot of people liking my work and listing in treasury's but I am thinking how long can I go with not even making the cost of the billing back?.I have just re set myslef back up on Folksy which I closed shop for a while whilst ill .Only ever sold a few things on there to .Still not covering costs of listing though.I am wondering is it time to give up on the internet market places and just make for the sheer joy of it . Do the odd craft fayre just as a social thing and hope that I may sell the odd thing just to cover costs.Thing is I will never be able to do loads of craft fayres due to my disablilty.It hurts to much to sit for all that time and I suffer for to longer period after them.I really am at a point of not knowing what is best.<br />
I am thinking without my crafts though I will get bored ,life will be pretty crap so I would have to continue in some way.<br />
<br />
I have my voluntary job as the craftgroup leader at Dostiyo that comes up once in a while .But is not a weekly thing for me.I think I need to find something I can do to make me feel useful and not spend money.<br />
<br />
I am thinking now I have my scooter I maybe able to volunteer again for the charity shop for a few hours again .Not being able to access the loo's was a big issue in my wheelchair ,but now I am more mobile with the scooter I can always use a public loo .I want and need something to do .And socially I need a way to get out more often .Hmmmmmmmm If I had a few hours in a shop at least that would be less time at home getting bored or crafting so much that it is costly and taking up so much room.ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGHHH haha what is a girl to do ???????<br />
<br />
<br />
HELP !!! haha <br />

<br />
To be able to support to local crafters also gives me great satisfaction .I think to make something for someone just shows the amount of thought and man hours has gone into a handmade gift rather just buying 2 for 3 's at every large business racking in far to much money this year.A unique gift of handmade is far more meaningfull .And often these gifts are recycled so helping the enviroment along with it.So please lovely guys and gals less mass produced and more of quality handcrafted gifts.Bettys Delightshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15625857334738634349noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193134917103187052.post-55266527764023223172011-11-20T12:54:00.000-08:002011-11-20T12:54:24.850-08:00Sywell Hanger OneOh my what can I say ???? I have finally found a place that feels so comfortable ,happy and relaxing.I have never felt so overwhelmed by peoples comments before .I was reduced to tears by all the fabulous and great feedback I have had from visitors and craftsmen and women. And so friendly and fun.I feel I have missed out on something for so long.I cannot express in words how I am feeling .I have never laughed and smiled as much as I have in the last two days.I have struggled because of joint pain etc but I am still laughing and smiling the through the pain.Which is difficult but feel to be in pain and discomfort for a few days was well worth the feeling I am experiencing now.My confidence has come on in leaps and bounds over the last two days .I have felt accepted with open arms and let into their little crafty family.I have felt in the past with some craft events that I could cut the air with a knife and felt that maybe I am seen as not good enough to exhibit my work as art.But I was whole heartidly taken under the wing and given the confidence and self assurance I have struggled to find before.Even my Mum and partner have said they have never seen me so happy in a long time.Here is to hoping I can join in again with this lovely family of quality craftsmen and women.<br />
<br />
<br />
I so look forward to joining these lovely people again soon .Bettys Delightshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15625857334738634349noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193134917103187052.post-85194338599226522012011-11-04T04:16:00.000-07:002011-11-04T04:16:29.744-07:00Operation new wheels .Operation new wheels .I need a new wheelchair .Mine is cheap,solid and I cannot really get around as much as I would like .I cannot lift it in and out of the car on my own I have to rely on others to get it out of the car.So means I never have the luxury of getting out on my own and the freedom I truely want .So only thing to do is try and raise the money for it.They don't come cheap so I need to really do some hard work .I sit and create whilst at home .I sit stitching away to my hearts content.So I thought rather than them adorn my walls (even though I love them their and I will have lots of gaps )I will sell them and try to raise the money that way.<br />

This week I realised that I had to stop being the clown and using it as wall and stop being the stubborn mule.I can still be the smiler but I have to admit when enough is enough.I visited my doctor he has given me new painkillers to try ,fingers crossed they do not leave me in a commatosed state of vegitation like so many have before or make me sick like so many listed before.But at least he has put me forward for an xray to see what now is happening to an already surgically traumatised hip joint.<br />
I have a body full of scars and cuts from years of surgeons taking a stab at me .I am already feeling like I am not quite in the room .Here in body but possibly not in other way.I have now got 7 tablets to take a day some to stop me being sick or upsetting my stomach some to cope with the serotonin levels in my brain from dipping like a scary rollercoaster and painkillers well as they are aptly named haha for the pain.I feel If I could jump I could pretend to be a maraca or childs shaker toy.But hey what else is their you can do .I hate drugs and I hate the side effects or the effects long term use will do to me but eventually their comes a time when you just have to bite the bullet and take the so easily offered prescription drugs.who knows what the effects will be this time.I have never been good with drugs my stomach seems to have a strong will when it comes to them.It never seems to be able to cope with many prescribed drugs but I am damned sure at 37 I will not be reduced to living with buckets and commodes in my house .I no way can have the man I love exsposed to such as horrible experience .I would rather just get on with the pain and try to not over do it .But this time the drugs may work and leave me with no huge side effects.Mind you saying that Im feeling I should go take a lie down.Lets just hope that they cause a little drowsiness and nothing more .Oh well could be worse TXXBettys Delightshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15625857334738634349noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193134917103187052.post-1072316125641040662011-06-15T10:17:00.000-07:002011-06-15T10:17:51.934-07:00My painted shelves<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfTMXmUprbLIhTVHp9HMffwAaoOFFk43DoJWgtoI5FPNlQj5jo3rZQADEmieue1JUTy1fUecfQ5hBV8Et2b5UmLULJqxRGXc_AHU3KS3_5hsZfy3bTFIzcOI2qlWfYjblu8KmdrphbM_A/s1600/my+new+teaset.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfTMXmUprbLIhTVHp9HMffwAaoOFFk43DoJWgtoI5FPNlQj5jo3rZQADEmieue1JUTy1fUecfQ5hBV8Et2b5UmLULJqxRGXc_AHU3KS3_5hsZfy3bTFIzcOI2qlWfYjblu8KmdrphbM_A/s320/my+new+teaset.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

In the past it has been classic pen and ink images such as Alice in Wonderland and now I have entered the music themed images.I seem to still get excited about that new piece I'm about to set to work on .At the moment Im experimenting with photo images of children and portraits .I must admit not my favourite of themes but never the less still interesting.I have mostly enjoyed the pen and ink work I feel whilst working on these pieces I fully got to grips with what I was good at and finally after years of crafting and painting I had finally found my niche.I now find myself ingrossed in stitching and never feeling happier .<a href="http://www.bettysdelights.co.uk/">www.bettysdelights.co.uk</a></div>Bettys Delightshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15625857334738634349noreply@blogger.com0
