Bio
This is not the journal you are looking for...

The journal you are looking for is The Eternal Magpie.
That's where I talk about sewing and knitting and all the pretty things I'm making at the moment.


This is my personal journal, where I talk about my personal battles with endometriosis and IBS, amongst other things. It is mostly filled with me whingeing about being ill, and what I'm currently attempting to do about it. This is not terribly interesting to anyone who isn't me.

When I'm not too busy being ill, I talk about my bunnyrabbit, my desire to own another hamster, and my knitting. I'm trying to live a "greener" life, but I don't think I'm doing very well at it just yet.

I currently work part-time in a fabric shop, and I'm also self-employed as a dressmaker.



If you should be feeling particularly generous and inclined to buy me a gift, my Wish List is here.
