Introduction Hi, I'm 33, I have two young daughters and I am in a bit of a transition and life change at the moment! Hopefully you will want to see how it goes with me. I love things with a bit of history to them and enjoy their extra character. I enjoy sewing and embroidery when I get the chance! I love fabrics, ribbons and buttons... and chocolate. I try to follow William Morris' guidance of "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful". Thank you for visiting my blog x
Interests Doing things with my children, sewing, embroidery, making cards occasionally, dreaming up new interior design schemes, reading homes magazines, housework (???!), eating too much!, drinking tea, baking
Favorite Movies Mean Girls, Little Women, Candleshoe, Love Actually, most horror films - basically if you've heard of it we have it on DVD!
Favorite Music I love 80's stuff because I'm very nostalgic about my childhood, Abba and partial to all kinds of cheesy pop songs
Favorite Books Anything by Wendy Holden, Little Women by Louisa M Alcott, Innocent Traitor by Alison Weir, the Rebus books by Ian Rankin, Interior Transformations by Anne Grafton is lovely, Childhood Treasures by Caroline Zoob is absolutely scrummy, some Jodi Picoult, anything by John Wyndham... I like pretty much everything except sports books (though I've made the odd exception for Dick Francis when there's been nothing else about!). Also ADDICTED to my kindle and love the free downloads :)
