Design projects | Windsor garden completed! Please visit my portfolio for pictures. My next mini project is to design some business cards, you never know when I might need them!

| Other Stuff | Ooooh yes I am truly panicking about Christmas, I am nowhere near finished present buying, I think I will be buying a goat for everyone this year. Please don't be offended if you don't receive a Christmas card from us this year (again), this is because I think they are a waste of money and resources, yes charity cards too, so I am going to be really pious (you can translate that to lazy if you like) and make a donation to my favourite charity of the moment WaterAid instead. | ||||

Design projects | Designing a small town garden in Windsor | |||
| Hobbies | Reading - Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and knitting a purple cardigan. I have just started crochet and have been experimenting with some old wool, the resulting bag is looking a bit wierd. Photo soon! | ||||
| Other Stuff | Finished Lego Star Wars 2! |
Purple cardigan on hold while I knit black and bright pink stripy stocking. This is for my 12 year old daughter's hamster. What do you put in a Hamster's stocking? I have volunteered to knit a second one so she can have a pair of bed socks, but she doesn't seem interested in that!
Old wool bag not quite complete (don't think I'm ever going to finish this)
