So it’s about time I updated this page…  if anyone wants to know!

I used to live in a lawn bowls club, I used to be an art student, and I used to be a projectionist at a local independent cinema…  I used to take school tours at the Auckland Art Gallery, I also used to do heaps of other small (and large!) projects outside of working for $$$.  This was all good fun and all that but now I’m a mummy and so things have changed somewhat.

I still live in Auckland with Rob and Austin The Cat, and of course, lovely little Luna, and her brother Blake.  So every day (and every night!) I look after my little girl and boy, quickly do a bit of sewing or knitting or something when the kids sleep, I sell my goodies on felt.co.nz and over on etsy, and at Kraftbomb, and Crafternoon Tea, a couple of local cool craft markets.

I love sewing and making beautiful things, the ocean, cooking and gardening…  and I’m passionate about gentle mothering, homebirth, breastfeeding and supporting people to make informed choices and live more sustainably.

I am a silly fan of the Original Star Trek and Audrey Hepburn, and I do love a good movie and a cup of coffee.  And I’m really really into old school science fiction.

I share my vintage sewing good times over at we sew retro, which you MUST visit.

You can read some interviews, over at grow mama, Anissa did a creative mama series where you can read about some other lovely makers… and on Felt.co.nz here’s my featured seller interview from a while back.
