About

Hi, My name is Niki Turner and I collect poems, short stories, parables, quotes and wise thoughts as well as vegetarian recipes and anything relating to handmade crafts. I am particularly keen on recycling ideas for crafting.

I live in the United Kingdom with my husband MJ and two chilldren (well young adults actually Devin and Kyla).

My hobbies include decoupaging onto wax, wood, glass, tin, fabric, paper, using mainly decorative paper napkins, label and sticker making, batik, marbling paper making, bookmarks, altered art, silk, fabric and glass painting, jewellery making, bead making, polymer clay, mould making, candle and soap making (and the list goes on and on).

I started off posting to Yahoo groups in 2005 and now want to transfer all my posts from there to this website.

I am currently in the process of starting up a craft website which should be up and running in the next couple of months.
It will include tutorials for making all of these crafts that I enjoy, as well as items for sale to make these crafts. I would also like to sell some
craft items that I make.
Here is the website www.creativelyaltered.com (not yet up and running)

If you would like to contribute a poem or story or anything else you feel is relevant to posts here,
feel free to email me and I will put it up together with a link to your website.

I hope you enjoy browsing through the many posts. Please feel free to
email me if you’d like to get in touch.
