What are your hobbies?

Crafting! I also love to take photos of butterflies, host dinner parties, read, design, blog and go crazy with the Just Dance games on the wii.

What are your favorite crafts and what's your craft space like?

Illustrating, painting, drawing and art journaling.

What do you craft along to?

Netflix isn’t available in Australia yet, which is something I cry about daily… just joking! My favourite thing to listen to are audio books from iTunes – I love thrillers and horror stories. They run for so much longer than a cd and you can also purchase educational ones if you want to do some learning while you craft.

What was the first project you ever made?

My Dad is an upholsterer and tailor and my Mum is an Artist and Milliner. I’m not sure what the first thing was that I made, but I quite possibly did it a week after birth – haha!

What are your favorite items to make?

Art journals and scrapbooks filled with happy memories of my husband and I – I have a tragic memory, so it really helps me! Custom stylised portraits and paintings.

Which other craft blogs do you love to read?

Is there anything else you'd like to add?

Please make sure you pop over to my blog SWEET SOMETHING and introduce yourself.
