About Me and My Crew

‘Hi I am a vibrant, and creative woman in my early 30s and I live in my colourful home surrounded by organic veg gardens, chooks, bees and my beloved dog. I love all things colour and make felt art in my home studio, sharing and selling it at local craft markets. I am also a singer, a cook, a lover of animals and nature, a bee keeper, and an organic veg gardener. I am highly sociable and love a good laugh with friends in cafes. I am creating a business around my art, love of cooking and animals, making nut butter ball treats and caring for animals. I also happen to need support to achieve my vision around living independently, my work, friendships and home life. I have a team of fun paid mentors/supporters who creatively assist me to achieve my goals.’
