About me

Gender Female
Occupation Retired
Location Reading, Berkshire, United Kingdom
Introduction I am now retired from my 2 jobs, dressmaker and trainer. Nowadays I do a lot of different crafts - sewing, knitting, dyeing, making bead jewellery. I love doing things with my hands. I am also trying to get my garden into shape after a number of years of neglect, due to how busy I was working. The items on this blog are things I have made for myself or as gifts, they are not for sale.
