Well, you asked!
Okay - five of the things you wanted to know:
What was your favorite craft as a kid? (Capello, being nice and non-confrontational - her words, not mine!)
Did you go to college, and if so what was your major? (Kirsten)
University of Sheffield: Physical Geography - gravel bed rivers were my big thing. I wanted to do a PhD, but couldn't secure funding so I went off to Edinburgh to do an MSc in Environmental Technology instead. Great city. I loved University, but if I had my time again, I would do something different - forensic science maybe.
How did you meet your hubby? Was it love at first sight????? :) (JoJo)
What do you sound like?? Where were you born? (Tiel and Emma)
If you could do something with your crafting now, what would you do? (Raspberry)

My mother was deeply into Macrame (yes, I am a child of the 70's) and I was roped in (bad pun) as a sort of human clamp. All that knot-knowledge was very handy when the scoobidou craze hit first time found. I was a mean scoobidooer. I also loved those string art pictures. And scratch-a-foil. D'you see a pattern - instant gratification with an ability to follow instructions more relevant than artistic flair. Oh yeah - that's me.

We played for the same hockey team in Sheffield. I stalked him until he gave in. Shameless.

Well, that's a pretty hard one to answer. More Kate Winslet than Dame Judy Dench. Not at all like the Queen. A bit squeaky when I get excited, or angry. As if my teeth are too big for my mouth - is 'toothy' a valid description of one's voice? Southern, fairly RP I think. I was born in Bermuda, but my accent would never lead you there.

Now, there's a question. I guess I *could* do something with crafting now. But do I? With Johnny at pre-school, I am forced to consider what I do when I no longer have a small child at home full time. It's not a comfortable question, so if you don't mind, I think I'll put my head under the pillow for a while and pretend I don't have to think about it.
Instead, let me distract you from that non-answer by looking at this great plate I found today. I popped into the Charity shop to get a saucer to put under a leaky plant pot and came home with 6 of these - 35p each. I love them.
