I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


I'm a London based crafter and I like photography, cake, proper strong tea, kitsch, bright colours, loud intense music, unnatural hair colours and nature. Step into my world to find out more! I only get on here about once a week so don't worry if I don't sort out your friends request straight away - it isn't because I don't want you...unless you are some pervy guy, to be sure I don't want any of them. Come and add me on Facebook!
I beleive that armed with a sewing machine and a drill a gal can do just about anything, and I make stuff to sell using both. I live by the principles of tactical frivolity, senseless beauty and freedom.
