Wow, I’m truly honoured to have been nominated for The Versatile Blogger Award!

Thank you so much Jessi from The Doctorate Housewife for nominating me - her blog is truly versatile, as it includes DIY, gardening and baking! It is written in a simple, matter-of-fact manner, and has provided me with inspiration for many, many projects... Please visit and say hi!

3. I enjoy sewing, knitting and crocheting (ok, this is getting really weird...)
4. I'm going through my mid-life crisis, and have accordingly taken up running and playing chess (no comment...)
