About Me

I'm married with 2 adult girls who've given us 2 beautiful grandchildren - 1 girl & 1 boy, with one more on the way. Okay, now the 3rd has arrived! Another beautiful little girl. DD1, partner & 2 GD's have moved in for a while whilst their home is built. Life has gotten hectic but still try to fit all swaps in:) GD1 is just turned 2 but is very tall for her age, more a 3 yr-old size. GS is 7 mths old and also tall and stocky. Guess will be size 1 by summer. GD2 is 4 mths old and again, tall so guess she won't be far behind GS in clothes size.

DD1 and I love to make clothes for the children. We work together with one on sewing machine and other on overlocker (serger?) so items get made quicker. We are also knitting for all children but much slower at that than sewing.

We have 2 dogs, one cat and my husband has many racing pigeons. We've been married for 30 yrs this year!

I'm a mad sewer, especially quilts. Also addicted to bags and newest addiction appears to be aprons. Who knew? Love bright colours and have trouble using "tea-dyed' fabrics, prefer my colours crisp.

My favourite colour is purple, have loved it for years.

Am starting to be more adventurous with quilts and craft, embelishments etc.

I love watching movies @ home and will give any a try.

When there's time I also love to read. Fantasy, sci-fi, things that take me away. Love Christine Feehan books.

I enjoy country music - Reba McIntyre rocks - and not too fond of today's music. Like stations that play from 80's.

I do also knit, especially when watching tv,movies etc. Fortunately children's items knit up quickly.

Sorry you didn't get rated by Blessedwith3, even though you sent your first batch of Novelty Squares before the dealine, got no response and then were kind enough to send another set! You deserve a heart (and a rating!!!).
