So sadly I am late in posting, I was hoping to start my blog on the 1st day of 2012, but I spent most of it in A&E after my knee went on me. I’m currently in a knee brace while watching the Race to Dakar.
So ill start with a little about me. Hi I’m Nessy *waves*, I live on the lovely Isle of Man, with my boyfriend, two sisters, our two dogs (Joey and Oscar) and my sisters two dogs (Joeys mum and sister). I’m 24 green haired, brown eyed. I love all crafts and playing around. My favourite crafts at the moment are Knitting, Sewing, Scrapbooking, Spinning and Quilt making. I also love cooking and spending time on my allotment.
I dream of owning my own house (slightly hard over here as we have London house prices) and of being as self sufficient as possible. I’d love to own a couple of hen’s lol.
I’m hoping 2012 is the year I come out of my shell and that it is the year of mini adventures.
