Hi my name is Lou,i have a very busy life style, i have 4 children, 3 cats, 3 dogs, and a 15ft x 6ft wide pond full of kio carp. im also a full time carer for my daughter who is disabled and my husband too, so i find doing crafty things takes my mind off the every day stresses and strains of every day life in this mad house of ours, mind you i would be board if it was too quiet.( i love every minute of it). i started crafting about 10 years ago making dolls house food and miniature cross stitch but since having my daugther 6 years ago my life was in complete disaray and everything had to change, i gave up my job my life and completly concerntrated on my family, its only now things are getting a bit more easier that i have more time to do things, we craft together as she has minimal movement in her left hand this helps her to use it plus it girly time together we love it she is the only girl from four children and the boys are all football mad.
