# I’m Dee,  40-something.. Married to Dave and living a quiet life in south London. We have 4 Daughters and 4 Grandchildren

# I have 2 cats Snug and Elle who were both strays who adopted me..

# I have been knitting since I was a little girl-my grandmother
taught me to knit and crochet when I was around 8. I used to make all
of my doll  clothes.

# My Grandmother also taught me to sew when I was small. I have a
Toyota quilting  sewing machine which suits me just fine. I would never
use all the functions on an all singing and dancing computerized
machine. So what’s the point

# I love anything little. I  love dolls house miniatures and have 3 dolls houses

# I love music. Jazz is a favourite along with Motown

# I can not sing a note to save my life or whistle

# I feel I’m blessed to live in a city with good museums, theatres & parks.

# I  love the theatre

# I’m a film buff who loves the Hollywood greats of the 40s/50s

# In real life I am painfully shy. My husband says I’m introverted but that’s not the same as shyness..

# I hate Telephones. I rarely take my mobile out with me much to my
family’s dismay.. {They managed to contact me before they were invented}

# I love social history. Reading about the past and collecting it. Yes.. i love vintage

# I don’t like driving that much..  I thought i should see it through to the end and passed first time

# I love walking

# My Kitchen is my castle I love to cook – so does my husband which causes problems at times *smiles*

# I love my Allotment

As well as knitting and crochet, I also quilt, cross St and grow my own on my allotment…
I have been pretty quite craft wise this year: what with decorating and
trying to get my allotment up and running I also closed down my crafting blog as it was a bit of a joke trying to keep the two running and now have decided to put everything under one roof.
