About Me

Hi there,

If hosting swaps and get a little behind in assigning partners please PM me as I get caught up with my other responsibilities.

I am married to a wonderful man who has waited a long time for me (poor soul) but must have been worth the wait, lol. I have a teenage son who is studing at Victoria Uni so the house is kind of quiet. My other family include 2 cats (Cleo & Katy - mother & daughter), a rabbit (Areon), 2 budgies (Pretty Boy & Emma). We since have acquired another rabbit (melody), three guinea pigs (2 boys and 1 girl) our girl had babies who are now 3wks old today. She had 4 beautiful darlings.

I am a stay at home wife who loves to do all the wifey things. I love making handmade things and gifts as you cant beat something made with love.

I have decided to take a year off study and go back to it in 2013 which means I will study for my Bachlor of Fine Arts - Raranga (Maori Weaving). Last year was hard but great as it has taught me heaps and looking forward to learning more in the future. In the end I would love to be there for the enviroment in conservation and preservation of the plants we use to weave for future generations.
