| Introduction | I am not long retired and previously have always spent a lot of time keeping busy with home, family, work and craft persuits. Having two lovely daughters, with a wide circle of friends between them, kept me up to date with fashion, music trends and events.Then they left home and followed their own futures. To that end I am now enjoying having two very nice men folk sharing my daughters lives as well as being a doting nana to a lovely five year old grandson. I enjoy engaging with a wide range of people of any age. The above was also my former field of employment. While I enjoy retirement, I do miss in part the interaction that I had been used to within the public sector and with like minded colleagues. On the plus side I have more time to follow the vast range of new crafts. It is also a challange to break from the old and tested styles and experiment with the newer styles. As the saying goes you are only limited by your imagination. |

Whoops! Your tongue is now a magnet. Whatever will you use for silverware?
I like to wear high collars and a necklace,I find that wearing a scarf as well makes me feel smothered. I would wear Green frogmans flippers and go as a satsuma. I have only used masking tape or cotton tape for creating a sculpture. Both of which can absorbe any filler medium that is being used. With a good olive oil ensuring that the taste will not reach my taste buds. Seedlings Sown.
