About Me

I am a 41 year old podiatrist from a seaside town on the south coast of England. I am married to a lovely guy who runs his own building company and we have two great sons aged 10 and 12.

Favorite Music

Be Good Tanyas, Astrid Gilberto

Favorite Movies

The Goodbye Girl, Camille Claudel

Favorite Television

House, Grey's Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters, Clean House

Favorite Crafts

I enjoy gift wrapping and have started to make my own tags. I have been patchwork and quilting since 1992 and I attend the wonderful 'Seven Sisters Quilt Group' every fortnight. I love to bake and package my goodies. I intend to start more papercrafts including collage and assemblage.

Stuff I Like

Ric-rac, Pastel velvet ribbon, Cute Japanese stuff, Bento supplies, Sharpies, Sprinkles, Muffin/cupcake cases, Bradlets, Blank journals, Envelopes, Stickers, Beads, Buttons, Poetry, Trim, Embellishments, Fat quarters, Patchwork and quilting supplies, Anything cello or piano related.

Favorite Images

I am always on the look out for housewife images. I love those prim 1950s housewives with their hostess aprons and 1970s housewives with their groovy threads! I like polka-dots, vintage, retro, cupcake, candy and sweetie fabrics and papers. I like pastels (but not peach) and strong bright colors.

Stuff I Dislike

Anything to do with astrology, tarot, clairvoyance or mediums. I think it's dangerous.

Comment: Wow! Thank you so much for such a great zine. What a great idea...I love remembering those moments that happen in life that seem so insignificant, but happen to be the ones we hold on to. And what a lovely gift you included! I absolutely LOVE the batik you sent. I can't wait to hang it up! That is so generous of you. Wish I could give more hearts than just one!! :) You made my day...God Bless.

Hi Finn! A few years ago we were in a swap and you were my sender, it was the weight loss partner swap and I remember that you wrote an amazing detailed letter and I never wrote you back or followed up to see how you were doing with it, and that was supposed to be part of the swap, so I failed at being a good support system :( Anyway, if you get back on here I hope you'll see my comment and know that I am wishing you the best of luck with all that....I myself am still struggling and recently went through kidney failure and am now on prednisone to get rid of the inflammation so my kidneys can go back to normal so the stupid prednisone is not helping me any! It's making my face really round and it makes me so hungry.....anyway, just thought I'd stop by since I'm on here again! Take care <3

Yes, I saw it in the mail when I got back from vacation. It probably took a little longer due to england/usa travel. I'll go rate you. :) It was absolutely lovely.
