About me

Location Portswood, Southampton, United Kingdom
Introduction I am a 30 something mother of two. I love playing with colours and textures and often walk through shops 'touching' everything! I believe that in exploring my own creativity I am imitating (in my own feeble way) my Creator. There is nothing I want to do more than this.
Interests As a relatively new crafter I am still trying to find my feet. So far I enjoy knitting and playing with my sewing machine. I have learned to crochet a little and can't wait to learn more of this craft. Other crafts I want to have a go at are patchwork and quilting, embroidery, especially blackwork, and decopatch. Some of my favourite things include: crockery, cushions, blankets, quilts, aprons, tea towels, and anything with flowers on.
Favorite Movies The Sound of Music (making clothes from curtains and lots of singing - what isn't there to like?), Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, Ghost World, Cave of the Yellow Dog
Favorite Books I'm limiting this to crafting books! The Gentle Art of Domesticity by Jane Brocket, 100 Flowers to Knit and Crochet by Lesley Stanfield, anything by Tone Finnanger, The Crafter's Companion edited by Anna Torborg, Simple Knits for Cherished Babies by Erika Knight, my lovely 5 volumes of Golden Hands (from Freecycle)
