My name is Rachel, I am a primary school teacher who is taking some time off to create and sew!

I have a boisterous, happy 9 year old boy called Justin, two gorgeous cats Posie and Mickie and a very understanding partner who tolerates the constant mess of fabrics and cotton all over our living room floor :) He really is a saint!

We live in our little haven by the sea where everything is in walking distance, no one wears shoes and everyone says hello to you!

I have always loved to sew, create, bake and take photographs but its since I became a teacher I feel my creativity has been taken to new heights!

I heard a wonderful saying at University..."you cant wait to be good at something' this quote has stuck with me and I love to try new things and learn as I go. If your always 'waiting' to be good at something you will never get around to doing it let alone be good at it :)

GWISHY is a word my little boy (big boy now!) made up to describe things that felt soft or squishy. I love that word! (not so much when he used it to describe what my tummy felt like though!)
