I'm a married stay-at-home Mum to two gorgeous little monkeys; Barbary Boy (6) and Miss Marmoset (4). In between the usual day to day I try and learn new things. At the moment these are mainly sewing, gardening and cooking. I love quilting, growing my own fruit and veg and finding new ways of getting Miss Marmoset to eat chicken.
