About Me

I consider myself to be a happy go-lucky hippy/boho chick. I will try anything twice - everything deserves a second chance.

I work in the costume industry, creating, renovating, researching and exploring; As a result I'm exposed to huge amounts of beautiful fabrics, buttons and trimmings... My stash is testament to my lack of willpower!

I live in West London, with my (mostly) patient partner (he suffers my crafting) and twin grey striped cats (both boys). The cats love to play, so any gifts for them will get a heart from me!

I have an magpie-like curiosity with anything shiny or sparkly. My favourite colour is purple.

I'm a vegetarian, but not a preachy one. I have a very soft spot for marzipan and cherry flavoured things. And stars...I just love stars.

I also LOVE Milk Duds, so any of you lovely peeps in the US want to send me some, I'd be so happy.

The types of craft I enjoy are anything to do with sewing (obviously!) except cross stitch I just don't 'get it', Altered Art, creating beautiful objects from other people's junk; I'm really into recycling, jewellery making (in particular beading), Sock & glove animals, Patchwork & quilting.

I really love baking. It's my escape from everyday life. I'm always searching for new and interesting recipes to try.

I also really like learning old-fashioned skills and crafts, all the things your Granny used to make when she was young.

I'm really getting into Whimsey Jars, I'm constantly amazed at how pretty and inventive people are with how they decorate their jars and what they manage to cram into them!

I seem to have a growing obsession with buttons; I'm not quite sure how it started but now I can't get enough of them! I prefer brightly coloured or interestingly shaped ones.

I love reading; I have shelves and shelves of books. I really love reading literary classics and fantasy novels; my favourite authors are JRR Tolkien, Jane Austen, Robin Hobb, The Bronte Sisters,Terry Pratchett, Frank Herbert. I love the poetry of W.H Auden, Dylan Thomas, D.H Lawrence, Shakespeare and Sir Walter Raleigh.

I'm also abit of a geek when it comes to craft books and magazines, I just can't get enough of them! Especially ones that show you how to make things from found/recycled objects.

I'm not going to write a huge list of things I dislike; but a few things I have absolutely no interest in: Scrapbooking, Card making, crotchet/knitting. I don't like coffee or coffee smells/flavoured things.

Favorite Music

I love lots of different types of music, including Folk, Rock, Country.

Some of my favourite bands/artists in no particular order:

Bon Jovi ~Brad Paisley ~Keith Urban ~Aerosmith ~All Time Low ~Annie Lennox ~Backstreet Boys (takes me back to my youth!) ~The Beatles ~Biffy Clyro ~The Calling ~Chesney Hawkes - He IS the One and Only! ~Cobra Starship ~Danny Gokey (He so should have won AI!) ~David Bowie ~Del Amitri ~Edwin McCain ~Eric Church ~Fairport Convention ~Fall Out Boy ~Foo Fighters ~Goo Goo Dolls ~Greenday ~James Taylor ~Katy Perry ~Kelly Clarkson ~Lady Antebellum ~Marc Cohn ~Mike Oldfield ~Nick Drake ~Our Lady Peace ~Owl City ~Sting & The Police ~Rascal Flatts ~REM ~Sugarland ~3Oh!3

To name but a few

Things I Love

Anything cute that I can make in to jewellery: At the moment I'm obsessed with anything tiny and cute that I can stick on rings, necklaces, brooches etc.

~plastic grocery bags with interesting designs, patterns, fonts on (I use these in my fused art), ~Vanilla, Cinnamon, spicy smells, ~Peacock Feathers, ~Dragons, ~Fairies (Though not the Victorian Flower Fairies), ~Anything star-shaped, ~Retro 80's stuff, ~Jewel-like colours, ~Victoriana/Steampunk, ~Butterflies ~Swarovski crystals, ~Funky socks (For my sock animals), ~Unusual packaging from around the world (for my recycled crafts), ~American girl's/women's magazines, ~Craft magazines from around the world, ~Old keys, ~Scarves, ~Flavoured lip balm/gloss, ~Round pendants, ~Funky earrings, ~Bracelets & bangles, ~Anything iconic retro American 50's related (Coca Cola, Diners, Cars etc), ~Shabby chic, ~Purple things ~A4 & A5 Notebooks ~Brightly coloured buttons,

Comment: thanks Emily !! I love the pincushion and mushroom glass beads, the buttons with the sequins and seed beads didn't hold up well to travel which is surprising since you wrapped them very good. Thank you for a fun shroom swap !
Response: Glad you liked the pin cushion, I want to make myself one! I'm sorry the buttons didn't travel well. Thank you for the heart :)
