I am a late starter with my sewing and crafting - as a young girl and teenager I lived to sew and create. The last time I sewed was , when I was pregnant with my son - 27 years ago.
Now with children grown up and more time I am inspired to make what ever takes my fancy really. I am a keen op shopper and have been hoarding fabric and notions , anything I think may come in handy. I do all my sewing on an ancient Singer machine.
Craft is a form of therapy and relaxation for me , creativity is what defines us as humans. I am a Green party voter with a deep concern for all things in nature and a love of animals. I love babies and little children and their lovely outlook on life .
I sell vintage / retro and antique items on trade me and ebay as well as selling in person at shabby chic and Vintage markets. I hope you will like my pieces , they are one off pieces when inspiration allows me to see what I can make with what I have collected over the last twenty years.
I am married and have a good supportive husband of 37 years. I love my family and siblings , nieces , nephews and my sons and daughters partners. My hobbies are collecting antique ceramics from Georgian era , I love gardening , swimming , reading , getting out in nature , am passionate about art. I have traveled recently to Europe and was overwhelmed by the history and beauty. I am also a great jam maker - but as my daughter says to me - you know it not all about you !
