About Me

I am an illustrator, designer, photographer and recently started sewing again. I enjoy all things beautiful. Hence the name "Bella". I have just launched my own shop on etsy so be sure to visit it. I love supporting other crafters and artists.

I am married to a very talented designer (Michael) and think he is fricken awesome!

I own three extraordinary dogs...Dakota, Roxy and Bentley. They sleep on their backs and think they are human. I recently added a new addition to the family called TINK...a Russian Hamster, and she is spoilt and I pimp up her habitrail cage at least 3 times a week....:D

I am a bit of an activist for all living species. I just feel ppl should speak out and not be passive and think some one else will make a difference.

I don't like dishonest people and try to be considerate to everyone. I will never give a bad rating for no reason...so please don't worry if you had a problem sending your goodies too me late....its always good to keep in touch and explain your situation. I would appreciate the same kind of care even though nothing bad has happened yet (touch wood)

I am a fool for Vegan food hence my looove for Nutloaf.

I often avoid grownup grumble and much prefer to hangout with the kids.
