About Me

tree

I live in a small coastal town in England - the very edge of civilisation. I suddenly and unexpectedly find myself with time to explore all the new and exciting things "out there"...... where to start???

I'm afraid I'm not really very talented in the art or craft department - but I'm trying, and hope you won't be TOO disappointed!

I love LOVE anything handmade and will appreciate ANYTHING you care to send me!

              ♥ ♥ ♥

Favorite Music

Rod Stewart + Joe Cocker + Chicago + Wet Wet Wet + REM + Old Motown

              ♥ ♥ ♥

Favorite Movies

Movies + TV - anything that entertains and makes me laugh!!

              ♥ ♥ ♥

Favorite Crafts

  • Knitting ~ am currently experimenting with soy and bamboo yarns
  • Crochet - currently working on getting my tension right - next will be trying to follow a pattern!
  • Fabric + sewing - again fairly basic, but trying to improve
  • Gardening - only in good weather though.{is that a craft?}
  • ATC's - ok, I've made a very shaky start ~ but they never seem to look like what's in my head! There seems to be so many different techniques that I don't understand!

             ♥ ♥ ♥

hi!! thank you for the wonderful postcard of colchester castle. and the info about the "humpty dumpty" nursery rhyme.

Hi there! Thank you so much for the birthday wishes :D I had a very nice day (besides being in school for 14 hours, well...on campus anyway...heh :P) My boyfriend cooked me a delcious dinner and got me some cool crafty stuff he swore he'd never buy! lol! I'm glad the postcard reached you! If I thought they'd "keep" I'd send some cherries your way so you can try it out! Have a great day and thanks again!

thanks

Thank you for the cool mapcard of Essex that you sent for the 3 P's group tag!! It's great!

ANGELFAIRY on Sep 29, 2008:

I just got your postcard. It's wonderful.You know somebody on T.V. the other day was asking how that nursery rhyme came about. I didn't know its story so I'm very glad you wrote about it. Thank you so much for the postcard and story behind it. Take Care. Brenda C.

breepre on Sep 29, 2008:

Wow! That postcard got there super fast. I'm still waiting on ratings from swaps I sent a couple of weeks ago. There's just no way to tell how fast or slow something is going to make it to it's destination.

I'm glad you liked the postcard. I really liked the colors on it against the white sands. It's such a neat place to visit. There are even lizards that have adapted to living among the dunes and have turned totally white to blend in. If you are alert you can see them all over.

choke on Sep 29, 2008:

Got the map of essex postcard from the public forum tag! Thank you soooo much, I've never received a map from another country before!! (or county either for that matter!)
