About
Gosh, where to start, well, I`m back!! Finally got my life back together after being made redundant. It has taken about a year to feel settled there, but it's hard work and long hours and traveling too. Things have been hectic for a long time but it's better now and I can get back to some serious crafting and swapping.
I love my crafts, and luckily I moved in to a lovely house with my gorgeous boyfriend and I have a little cubby hole room all of my own in which to craft. It is filled with fabric, yarn, paper, glue, paint and most importantly GLITTER!!!
My love of all things handmade started when I used to watch my nanna knitting. She taught me how to crochet too... further knitting lessons came from my mother.
Taught myself cross stitch (not hard really)and taught myself embroidery. I love sewing and using my grandmothers adapted 1908 (the year) Singer sewing machine, have run up a few bits and pieces.
I'm so glad I've found this site, seems like I have come home at last

- commented on her comment honestly, I use charity shops, and ebay. My nanna quite often sorts out her stash and sends it my way, and my mum keeps an eye out when she is shopping in the charity shops. I sometimes use Tudor Williams in New Malden, but my favourite place to shop... to Kimmi 20 Jul 10:48

My love of embroidery comes from all the things my Nanna made and embroidered.
