About Me

Welcome to my blog.  It's a random collection of what I've been up to and things that I'm interested in.

I come from Yorkshire,  and having lived for many many years in London, have recently moved back up north.

In the last few years, I've rediscovered my love of Cross Stitch and you'll see posts about completed pieces scattered around the blog (or search for x-stitch labels).  I also went through a phase of card making and occasionally, I'll pull 2 massive boxes out of the cupboard and spread them all over the lounge and have a big old cardmaking session.  I also love to exercise and have worked myself through a number of Beachbody programmes in the last 4 years.  Home workouts are not like they used to be - I even own my own free weights, something I never thought I'd say, but I love to lift!

In my working life, I am a data modeller and business analyst, working with standards and guidelines to produce logical and physical database models, and doing detailed business and data analysis and creating data dictionaries and mapping documentation.  Perfect for someone who loves the attention to detail in a piece of cross stitch or embroidery.

That's most of what you need to know about me.  I have a lot of time for others, although I have the occasional feisty streak, usually when tired or hungry.  So be nice to me, keep me well fed and I'll be happy and fabulous and lovely and all smiles.

Thank you for reading my blog, I'm still pretty stoked that anyone actually does.  And if you enjoy it, please subscribe and feel free to leave comments...I like getting to know people!
