Inspirations

My main inspirations are my family - particularly my Mum who is an amazingly talented hand quilter, who can turn her hand to pretty much any craft.  Her talent at sewing is something I have always hoped to emulate and she has wonderful style and panache.  As crafters, we both agree that a good quality fabric / yarn will always provide the best results.

For other inspirations check out my Pinterest board - I've only just discovered it so it's growing by the day.  There are so many wonderfully creative people out there!

My other love is for my cat Ella - she is a very cute, mildly destructive, but very funny cat with a distinct personality of her own.  We produce some very funny stories between us, but most people seem to think I am the mad one.  For now, here is a picture of her road-testing one of my new range of Catnip Sachets at Catmas (the cat version of Christmas)...

Butter wouldn't melt!

And here is Ella in all her bad-girl glory - taking residence in places she shouldn't be - like below!  In the first instance she has inveigled herself into my shopping / recycling bag collection.

I'm growing a new type of pet/vegetable.  It's called a Catato.  It grows in a sack, just like this one.  On the one hand it is healthy and delicious, on the other hand lively and talkative, if a little naughty!
