Introduction	My first attempt at crafting was knitting a dishcloth done at junior school. My mum used to sew knit and crochet so I learnt to sew and knit properly from her. I never tried to crochet though. As a teenager I would knit and sew some of my own clothes and then at about the age of 17/18 I would spend Saturdays beavering away on the old treadle sewing machine. that night i would be wearing my new dress to go out! Once married and the children came along I would knit and sew for them. I didnt find cardmaking until January 2010 after a distant relative (GRU)had sent a handmade xmas card and I thought maybe I could do that.So off to the shops looking for what we know as stash and I found numerous magazines on the subject.Hooked from the very first card I did!Then in 2012 a FB friend suggested watching Creat and Craft and the Popular Barbara Gray with her Clarity Stamps. Subscription for Clarity was bought me for my birthday and I was into stamping! I used to think it would be cheaper to make my own greeting cards but no way, its an expensive hobby and one I love.
Interests	Crafting, pets, family and friends mean a lot to me!
