About Me

tree

I live in a small coastal town in England - the very edge of civilisation. I suddenly and unexpectedly find myself with time to explore all the new and exciting things "out there"...... where to start???

I'm afraid I'm not really very talented in the art or craft department - but I'm trying, and hope you won't be TOO disappointed!

I love LOVE anything handmade and will appreciate ANYTHING you care to send me!

              ♥ ♥ ♥

Favorite Music

Rod Stewart + Joe Cocker + Chicago + Wet Wet Wet + REM + Old Motown

              ♥ ♥ ♥

Favorite Movies

Movies + TV - anything that entertains and makes me laugh!!

              ♥ ♥ ♥

Favorite Crafts

  • Knitting ~ am currently experimenting with soy and bamboo yarns
  • Crochet - currently working on getting my tension right - next will be trying to follow a pattern!
  • Fabric + sewing - again fairly basic, but trying to improve
  • Gardening - only in good weather though.{is that a craft?}
  • ATC's - ok, I've made a very shaky start ~ but they never seem to look like what's in my head! There seems to be so many different techniques that I don't understand!

             ♥ ♥ ♥

Thank you so much for sending Gloria that beautiful card during her recent recovery time. She really loves the beautiful flower on it.

She had her stitch removed Monday and has to go back to the doctor in another month. She can see so much better already, even without her new glasses.

You are such a special person for thinking of her. I deeply respect you for that.

Hi there! Thank you so much for the birthday wishes :D I had a very nice day (besides being in school for 14 hours, well...on campus anyway...heh :P) My boyfriend cooked me a delcious dinner and got me some cool crafty stuff he swore he'd never buy! lol! I'm glad the postcard reached you! If I thought they'd "keep" I'd send some cherries your way so you can try it out! Have a great day and thanks again!
