Introduction I am an artsy crafty Mum living in the country in Tauranga, New Zealand, with my husband Andrew and two of my three children, Spencer (14) and Cleo (11), five cats, two chooks, and a goldfish! My oldest daughter Diva (18), is studying Fine Arts at Auckland University. I love to knit, crochet, sew, paint, make jewelry, recycle op-shop finds, and collect old stuff! I am also a published children's illustrator. My creative space is 2 acres of beautiful trees, with mountains, endless skies, and the sound of the wind and wildlife to inspire me.
