I am learning to crochet at the moment.

8 What is your favorite way to spend a Sunday afternoon?

With my wonderful husband and two kids, on a sunny day at the park or barbecuing with friends. On a wet day I love to cozy up with my family in the lounge to watch a family movie and eat popcorn.

9 What three items do you always have in your craft bag?

Pad and pen, scissors and a hand-embroidered needle case that my mother-in-law made for me with all my favorite embroidery stitches on it.
