Hi, everyone
Yet another forum I have joined! I am a member and (fairly) regular contributor to 4 other forums, and a bit of an occasional visitor to many more. I need some help and advice from fellow-crafters, so here I am.
My name is Ali Wade. I am 37, married to Rich (dairy farmer) and we live in beautiful Pembrokeshire. We have no kids, but Adam & Amber (from Rich's first marriage) are 2 teenagers who come and invade our home on increasingly less frequent occasions :mf: (like these smilies!)
Crafting-wise - I love making cards/ATCs, cross stitching and knitting. I sell a few things on Ebay, and keep being encouraged to sell cards and other stuff I make - so tentatively thinking of doing that.
In the rest of my life - when I am not wasting time on the pc, cleaning/laundry/cooking/shopping etc, I have 2 dogs to look after (a Peke and a Lurcher), 2 cats and 2 ponies (and going to look at a 3rd tomorrow :D). I do a bit of riding and starting to drive with my Exmoor Pony, but I have osteoarthritis and definitely avoid cold/wet weather, so don't do as much as I used to. I also enjoy reading, baking, walking, charity shops/car boot sales, travelling/caravanning, playing on my Nintendo DS Lite and watching tv.
I used to 'work' - PA to Directors for many years (lots of travelling and long hours), cleaner (domestic and commercial properties), retail assistant and I used to work professionally with horses. Being a busy farmer's wife and the official diagnosis of arthritis meant that I am now a FullTime Domestic Goddess.
Anyone else from Pembrokeshire (Ceredigion or Carmarthenshire)?
