About Me

I'm in my early 30s and am beginning to enjoy a night in more than a night out, a hot chocolate more than a vodka, a slow dance more than clubbing, a hand made item more than what's big in the style magazines... all in all I'm growing into my skin and my life and loving every minute of it. I also became a mum in September 2010 so am stressed out, constantly tired and loving my gorgeous baby son!

I'm madly in love with my husband Matt who I married in March and bought a beautiful old house with a few weeks later. It's quite the project and we hope to have it completed by Xmas and full of wonderful handcrafted items. So, all our time and money is being ploughed into our new home.

Favorite Books

Love heartfelt books, no thrillers or crime novels. Favourite writers include Adriana Trigiani, Tony Parsons, JD Salinger, Sean Condon, Mark Cirino and the occassional dose of chick lit for mindless indulgence :)

Favorite Movies

Not into horror or thrillers or actions films, give me stuff like Stealing Beauty, High Fidelity, Flash Gordon, Before Sunrise/Before Sunset, Singles, Say Anything..

Favorite Crafts

I like sewing, painting, sketching, tapestry, jewellery making, and generally dabbling with all crafts to try and turn my house into a home.

Inspired by

Long walks on the beach, even longer talks with Matt, vintage fabrics, the smell of fresh baking, thrift store finds, interior style magazines, blogs and finding supplies I forgot I had.

Loves

velvet, cord, buttons, seed beads, music, art, travel, swimming, running, hot chocolate, milkshakes, sheep, beaches, scotland, polaroids, retro fabric, reading, hats, silver, frames, bags, chocolate, leaves, notebooks

Candy/Sweets

I love chocolate (pref milk, mint or orange varieties), gummy sweets like haribo, fudge, fruit cremes, caramel centres. Flavour-wise I like: strawberry, orange, cola, apple, pineapple, raspberry. I don't like: nuts, coffee, bubblegum, fizzy/sour...you get the idea :)

Hello, Miss Crafty. I got you msg on my profile. I shouldn't worry about extras! Looking forwards to your tale and have already visited your blog. Quite envious re: Paris.

Was looking for clues as to where you are in Bonnie Scotland...

Hello Miss Crafty! I'm your partner in the Newbies Try-a-Swap Challenge... and I just wanted to let you know that I will be sending your package soon! I've been really sick and unable to complete any of my current swaps. I apologize for being late, but I promise to have your package in the mail by Monday the 24th. Again, I'm so sorry. Take care, Juanita
