I have lived in Bindoon for some 28+ years with my husband and three daughters.  I have always had a huge interest in arts and crafts but never really a great amount of time. Since retiring from the work force in 2007, this has changed.

I have many T.A.F.E. courses over the years - my first being at 14 years of age -  that I have lost count, but not forgotten what I learned.

Two of my preferred interests at present, are woodwork and patchwork.  It is such a great feeling to take a piece of wood and shape it to what I want, whether it be a kitchen utensil or a piece of furniture, or when I cut up material then sew it together again. Just to see work being created by my own hands is a great feeling.

My husband is talented also and he is very often the envy of his friends because of the array of tools he has in his workshop. Because I also work over there with him,  we have both created some awesome pieces over the years. I don't usually use a pattern but just look at something and make it to my interpretation.

I am interested always in learning new crafts and hope I am never too old to learn a new form of art.
