About Me

I've only been in the US for a couple of years,having lived in New Zealand ,Australia and Fiji previously. I love making things, especially mixed media [at the moment!] and am willing to try anything once! I like most colours and styles, but seem to lean towards blues and greens and anything with a whimsical quality. I also love love love chocolate, especially dark bitter chocolate.[colour as well as food]

I have three grown up sons [yes, I lived to tell the tale] and have recently become a granny - I'm way too young- really!!!

I love to read, the back of the cornflakes packet will do if I'm really desperate and am an avid magazine buyer - not good I know, but they make very good boot stuffers once you're done with them, just roll them up and push them down the leg!

I like: modern art, abstacts, anything that's a bit clever or has an unusual twist.
chocolate, tea, black jellybeans,
raspberries and Granny Smith apples books, books, books vintage anything, if it's been very well loved, even better. Dinnerware! Strange, I know, but I just love plates and cups etc Christmas - I'm hoping for snow! It'll be our first Christmas in the winter! Dislikes: Pumpkin,squash marrow- any squishy vegetable ugh! Anything overtly religious -of whatever persuausion "Precious" moments, Helen Steiner Rice quotes [sorry HSR!] Navel gazing self help books!

I will not flake, but do tend to leave things to the last minute [I work better under pressure!] If I am going to be late sending I will let my partner and the co-ordinator know - life does get in the way sometimes.

Comment: Thankyou for such a beautifully original art doll, she is so very sweet and lovely! And thankyou for the lovely buttons, and the embroidery thread! My husband even commented on how neat she is! He asked if she was made from a spice jar. You really made a lovely doll! So creative and beautiful... Thankyou! Rachel M.
Response: Hi Rachel, So glad you liked her.She was a lot of fun to make, and your husband is right, her body was a spice bottle [bayleaves , which are now in a bag in the freezer!] I left the lid so that you could unscrew it and use the buttons and beads - maybe fill her with something else? Beth

Comment: Thank you very cool Marie. Terrific hair,face and dress. Love the box to. Wish I would have thought of that. Thank you so much for the extras I really needed that calender book, specially with the holidays marked LOL... Peace,Brenda
Response: I had a ball making this girl, although the wobbly head gave me a few problems, hence the rather messy engineering work at the back. So glad you liked her.She's my first "blingy"doll and I really enjoyed the whole process. Beth

Comment: Hi! I love the owl and matchbox you sent me! Just amazing! I wanted to tell you that it's technically not a matchbox purse, though, which is what the swap called for, this one's just a regular decorated matchbox. I love it though, which is why I'm rating you with the heart. I just LOVE it, lol. Thanks so much for the beautiful items...I've never received an owl stuffie before...I'm SO impressed by your creativity and talent. Thank you SO much! Hugs, Jo
Response: I'm so sorry, I don't know how I missed that it was supposed to be a purse. - must be old age! Glad you liked it anyway - I'll send another cover with a handle and then it will be what it's supposed to be! I feel a bit silly! Beth
