Florist by training, vegetarian by choice, creative by nature.
I'm a very calm, down to earth person who loves to experiment with new things. I "work" in a greenhouse and am learning about plants and their medicinal power & that of the foods in our diets. I'm always teaching myself a new craft, trying or inventing new recipes, reorganizing, redecorating, and the list goes on. I share an apartment with tons of plants and my cat, Crazy Daisy. Oh, and I collect Smurfs.
Though I only have basic knowledge in most of these techniques, I know how to sew, graphic design & photography, draw, make basic origami, make candy, make cold-processed soaps and other beauty products (creams, balms, oils, etc.), I've made some jewellery and lately, I've been into crochet. My newest endeavour is knitting.
"Knitting is industrious, economical, virtuous, therapeutic, mildly creative and above all tranquilizing. Research would show that knitting wives never become nervous wrecks and that it is never knitting girls who break up happy homes. Conversely it would be found that the Other Woman never knits."
