New Zealand, as I'm sure you may have heard is a tiny country floating way down in the lower Pacific - next stop Antarctic! - famed for its unspoiled countryside.
I live here with my husband and greyhound Elsa (yes, named after the Frozen Disney character!) And I can't recommend greyhounds enough, they make the perfect pet. Elsa is my second grey and to learn more check out GAP (Greyhounds As Pets), an organisation set up to re-home retired racing greyhounds.
A few years ago a spur-of-the-moment decision to buy a vintage sewing machine sent me down a new path in learning to sew, which has seen my graphic design work venturing into fabric designs, and you can follow my progress into this field via my Spoonflowershop.
I volunteer for several groups and I'm a huge Jane Austen fan and this Christmas published a Pride and Prejudice quiz book, and a portion of the proceeds will go to: greyhound re-homing and providing books for the children's ward of the Dunedin public hospital via my involvement with a group of historical Costumers, Images of the Past Dunedin, who raise funds for books which are given to the
children’s ward in the Dunedin Public Hospital.
