6 quirky facts !?!

Hello Everyone,

I have just been tagged by my sister Natalie (Summer by the sea) and I have to tell you 6 quirky facts about myself, it's taking some thinking but here I go:

1. I am an identical twin to my sister Melanie and we still sometimes know what each other are thinking without actually saying something.

2. I once worked as a hotel receptionist and had to climb out onto a window ledge to retrieve a bunch of roses for a hotel guest. The couple had had a fight and the wife (I think!) had thrown them out. I didn't even get a tip !

3. I have never not got a job I was interviewed for, which has been quite alot (out of choice). I am on my eighth job now and I have no regrets. I've met a variety of people, picked up a variety of skills and had fun along the way. Think im settled now though...finally!

4. I've always had a dream of owning my own shop, selling handmade goods and decorative home items.

5. I'm secretly (not any more!) writing a book, it's supposed to be quite funny, quirky but yet it has it's serious points and dark side too.

6. I have not slept through for a whole night for at least 4yrs. I have always had problems sleeping and wake up regularly from very strange dreams. I have also slept walked, twice into other people's beds (I was asleep!), and once I woke up cowering down the side of my bed....id dreamed someone had broken in. I have also tried cooking in my sleep and woke the next morning to the cooker hob being on!

crafty little hearts


Hello,

I've finally got round to popping another post on here. I've been very busy painting my house and wallpapering my bedroom. It was the first time I've attempted wallpapering but with the close direction from my mum, I managed it. Im really pleased with the outcome.


I've also been trying my hand at a few more projects, firstly some fabric fruit which i've shown below. Hopefully ill get a little better with pratice!
