I love to knit, my mother taught me when I was 8 years old and I spent more time knitting clothes for my dolls than playing with them.

By the age of 10 I had discovered sewing and my Grandfather was so impressed with my 1st skirt (an orange wrap-around number) that he bought me my very first sewing machine. During my teens I had so many clothes I was the envy of all my friends and I just haven't stopped.

Now I am an empty-nester with a obsession for buttons, old lace and embroidery.

I have yet to be convinced that babies should only wear pastel colours and that once over the age of 40 that you should be funky.
