Jox

I live in London UK, with my partner and 10 and 7 year old sons and I love to make things.

I'm work part-time as an Admin Assistant and on a Friday I'm an Art Student, which is very exciting. I just wish I could be a full time Art Student.

My fave colours are red and turquoise. I also like greys and plums.

I love cooking, I seem to spend alot of time in the kitchen as I craft inbetween cooking.

We have 2 cats called Ginger and Nutmeg.

I have been a member of swap-bot since 26 Feb 2007
