About Me

I’m Helen, I’ve just turned 40 (eeek) and I live in York, UK with my two cats, Minnie and Mollie, who are very good and don’t interfere with my various crafty activities, although Moll does like to try and sit on my knee whilst I’m knitting.She’s also fascinated by anything I’m trying to photograph…..

I learnt to spin about 18 months ago, and have recently started sewing again, with my lovely new (to me) Bernina sewing machine. My next project is going to be learning to weave. I go through phases of different crafts, so you’ll see a few weeks of frantic knitting, then a bit of spinning or sewing, and hopefully weaving soon, but knitting is my first love, and I’ll always come back to it.

I also collect old children’s books, especially girls’ school stories.
