Things I love…

• COLOUR: rainbow brights, jewel tones, gradients… All the colours, all the time. No subtlety. More is more.
• animals, especially (but not limited to) capybaras, wombats, sloths, alpacas, giraffes, quokkas…
• feminism
• reading
• hexagons
• puns
• gargolyes
• negative space
• Gilmore Girls
• watermelon
• glitter (sorry), sparkles, sequins. I am a magpie.

A bit about me:
I’m a widow in my mid-thirties. I teach in a primary school, before which I worked in musical theatre and did an astro-physics degree - one of the things I love about teaching is that I can use and talk about my passion for many and varied things (science, reading, history, art…). I used to live on a narrowboat but am now in the process of moving into my new home on land.

Crafty stuff:
I’ll have a go at most things but my 'go-to’s are knitting, embroidery and hand sewing (eg English paper piecing). I was quite active back on Craftster (username Noodle-bug), but some of the changes in my life took me away from crafting and sharing online for a time - I’m excited to be rejoining this joyous community.
