Taking the Plunge!

My good friend Tracee from Quilt Kitty Loves Life has been blogging for over a year now and has inspired me to get technologically savvy and start my own blog. This is pretty scary stuff, particularly when she is so good at it! However, I am 'jumping off the deep end' and am quite excited about doing so.

I have lived most of my life in the Pilbara in the North West of Western Australia. While my family and I are currently living in Perth for the kids schooling, I consider the Pilbara to be home. Hence the beautiful picture above, taken on a day trip out of Marble Bar in July 2011, and the gorgeous photo of the Sturt Desert Pea to the left, one of my favourite flowers. I hope to share some of my other outback images with you during our journey together.

As you may have determined from the title of my blog I am a (proud) craftaholic! I have tried various crafts over the years including embroidery, beading, scrapbooking (I was a Creative Memories Consultant for 8 years), teddy bears, soft toys/dolls and, more recently, quilting. My favourite is embroidery but I am really enjoying learning how to quilt. My partner in crime is my Mum and I love nothing more than spending an afternoon, evening or (even better) a weekend crafting with her. She is also learning quilting at present. This can get quite expensive when shopping for fabrics as we egg each other on!

Anyway, enough of my rambling for now. I hope that you find my stories of interest and I look forward to 'meeting' you all in the blogosphere.

Cheers,
Tracy
