i've never really gotten into it properly (perhaps because i never have enough interesting materials!) but i love journals and journalling and making cards for people.

i've also recently took up cooking and baking as a hobby so i'm looking for new and interesting recipes to try (though nothing with raisins - i'm not allergic to anything as far as i know but i really do not like raisins! or sultanas. or any dried fruit really.)

i would love to take up sewing and i used to knit but i'm no good at it anymore, so any help-sheets or tips from people sent in a swap would be fantastic :)
