I am a 40 yr old grandmother of 2, mother to 3 and happily married for 16 yrs although I have been with my husband since we were 18. I have always loved sewing since my mother first showed me how when I was 8. Most of the sewing I do is relatively self taught and I love learning new tips and techniques. Through ill health I have had more time to sew and have decided to try and make a small living through this. I also love art and have done various art courses through my adult life, especially textiles which is really interesting.

craft interests: embroidery, fashion, knitting, restyle, sewing, textile art
