I’m Jo. A mother of 3, a single mother I might add, not by choice, but it turned out to be one of the best things that happened to me. I am independent, I am strong (most of the time) and most importantly, I am trying my hardest to be the best mother I can be.
As well as being a full-time mummy, I am a crafter! My maternal grandfather was an artist, my mum has always knitted, crocheted, made her own clothes, quilted, turned old useless things into new useful things… basically crafting is in my blood!
I have been cross stitching since my 14th birthday. I took up knitting a couple of years ago while my sister was pregnant with my first beautiful niece. I do decoupage, card making, I try as often as I can to reuse or ‘upcycle’ things destined for the bin. Oh, and I also love to cook! I know we need food to live but I live to eat! There isn’t much I don’t like, I’ll try just about anything, love trying different restaurants and different cuisines, new recipes at home as well as experimenting with the children, their ideas I mean, not cooking them!
Apart from crafts and food, and the children of course, the only other thing I love is my cats! And making people laugh!
