I am recently married and have no children. I retired from teaching Modern Dancing and Rhythmic Gymnastics June 2006, when my sister fell ill with Ovarian Cancer to be with her in her final days. I am now trying to start up a Arts and Crafts Workshop where I teach people various crafts and handwork, plus Scrapbooking, Digital and Traditional. I live in South Africa in a town outside Cape Town called Somerset West. I love anything creative such as freeform crocheting and knitting, painting, sketching, quilling, scrapbooking (digital and traditional), knitting, sewing, crocheting, embroidery, cardmaking, tea bag folding, iris folding, photography, etc. I love gardening and taking photographs of flowers, birds, animals, landscapes and people plus anything else I can find to photograph. I love to create items of clothing and accessories to sell and enjoy doing scrapbooking for myself and others. I love to dance, sing, play guitar, drum, write poetry, read meaningful books, communicate with special friends, entertain friends and teach people crafts. I love helping others in any way that I can and to be an inspiration and giver of my life to people.
