about

I am a 27yr old girl from the sunny Gold Coast on the East coast of Australia. I live with my partner Steve, my son Jack, two cats and one dog.

NB: My spelling is atrocious, please don't hold it against me.

Crochet

I love making amigurumi and larger crochet toys. They sit on my desk at work which now looks more like a toy store than a work space.

Sewing

I've recently started sewing crafts. I've been trying my hand at embroidery and felt Christmas decorations. As my ability with this is rather basic I am calling my style 'primary school chic'. Hopefully my skills will improve in time for Christmas.

Favorite Books

"Foucault's pendulum" - Umberto Eco
"Perfume: The Story of a Murderer" - Patrick Süskind
"Life of Pi" - Yann Martel
"The Watchmen" - Alan Moore

Favourite Children's Books:

"Cat and Fish" - Neil Curtis/Joan Grant
I just love how the beautiful Beardsley-style illustrations are the background to a story of innocent friendship

"600 Black Spots" - David A. Carter
The ultimate adult's pop-up book

"Guess how much I love you" - Sam McBratney
I don't think a book could be sweeter

"The Giving Tree" - Shel Silverstein
I think it is impossible for anyone to read this book without smiling

"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" - Lewis Carroll and "The Annotated Alice" - Martin Gardner
Carroll creates the wonderland and Gardner explains the science and ideas behind it

"The BFG" - Roald Dahl
I still think of hankies as snot rags :)

"The Iron Giant" - Ted Hughes
The image of the giant walking out of the ocean will be imprinted on my mind forever

Comment: Thanks for the letter Cate! I'm glad you could some of your complaints down on paper & out of your head ^^ I am wishing you all the best for good news next time you & Jack have a check up.. Its odd too that in the letter I sent for this swap I chose to ramble on about phobias (as I find them very interesting) and I too am terrified of spiral staircases! xD In my case though I know why- my brother used to try & grab my ankles through the gaps in the back of them.. Hope you are having a relaxing day today & thanks again! :)
Response: OMG I would freak if someone grabbed me throughout the gaps!
