- My closest friend in South Africa is a fine artist and had a incredibly big influence in my life during university and my early 20's, hence my love for art
- My lovely mum and dad still live in Durban and my sister lives in New York, my mum is amazing she taught me how to sew, crochet and knit and she is one of the most humble people I have the joy of knowing xox

Hello there, I have travelled across from Alice's blog, she is amazing with her crochet and how quickly she makes things. I am teaching myself to crochet, have always knitted, have sewn, embroidered, had a go at pottery, learn patchwork and the list goes on. My main craft has been paper craft, making cards and journals etc. I haven't done much of the this past winter, been busy knitting and learning crochet. I now what to learn 'tatting' then I can make my own lace :)
