About Me
I live in country Victoria, Australia, on 150 acres with my partner, Chris. Chris has two kids teenagers, together we just have lots of animals.
I am in my 30s and find there is just not enough time to try and do all the things I want to.
In my "spare" time I work as a project manager / project engineer / water savings officer / whatever else they want me to do!!!
Animals
I love animals. We have cattle, sheep, goats - angora and dairy, a pig, a llama, geese, chooks, ducks, horses, a little dog (big dogs don't respect me and I kinda don't understand them), 2 cats and LOTS of bunnies (including an angora for spinning of course) and minilops (holland lops) for showing!
Gardening
I like pretty cottage gardens, my current garden is just getting going and is a dreadful mess!
Sports / Hobbies
- Rabbit breeding & showing
- Horse riding (just hacking)
- Skiing (sooooo much fun)
- Dancing (Rock 'n Roll).....
- Sailing
Favorite Crafts
- Sewing - pretty girly things mostly and stuffies
- Knitting & crochet
- Woodwork - I like restoring old furniture and boxes and stuff
- Other - I have played around with a welder, dabbled with jewellery making, made a little soap and tanned skins

Just wanted to let you know i updated my rating for the 24 Days of Christmas swap. :) I opened your last gift today, thanks! Merry Christmas!
Hi, Im just checking to see if the 24 days or Christmas swap I sent you arrived safely yet?
Thanks for being a member of the Crafting Queens~
Hope you got a giggle from my weather reply! Still hot here, too! Beats 42 inches of snow though, like winter of '09.
okay, so NOW it's Happy Late Birthday! LOL! blessings, Gypsy
Hi, i know you participated last year in the 25 Days of Christmas - Australia and thought you might also be interested in participating in this year's version. The rules/requirements have changed slightly but i hope you'll still come along and check it out!
24 Days of Christmas - Australia
happy late birthday!
Did you get some too? I love peacock feathers, mainly the original colored ones. I have them in gothic vases all around my apartment. Green is my favorite color so I thought I might get some bleached ones...but now I want them all:P I hae a new gothic hair line that I want to start on so these will eventually be incorporated into a hair fascinator of some sort! Thanks for helping me with supplies :P
