Hit the ground running

Hi and wish me luck!!!

Seeing as this is my first ever blog and I don't know what I'm doing and I'm not quite sure how to drive this thing, I thought I'd start off my introducing myself.

My name is Dannette, but my friends call me Nette. I'm 35 (almost 36). I'm very happily married to the most wonderful man, his name is Sel. We have two dogs. Charlie is the 10 year old, three legged blue healer cross. Then there's Toad. He's  a 6 month old, giant bounding doofus Irish wolf hound cross. Then I have one cat call Fish, she's my baby. We also have four chickens, Mabel, Mavis, Nigella and Cecily and one gorgeous Indian runner duck called Jemima. We moved out to Fernvale about 5 or so months ago and it's the best thing we ever did. We just love it here.

In my spare time I like to draw. Mostly pastels on canvas and mostly flowers. I love flowers. But more recently I have branched out to animals. Kind of cartoonish type stuff. I'll post some pictures so you can see what I mean. I also like to sew. A skill I so appreciativaly picked up from my Mother. I make handbags, stuffed toys and other bits and bobs.

It all started with hairclips though. It was about a year ago I got all my hair cut off. The type of style the is great for cute hairclips. But I couldn't find any I liked in the stores. So I thought, Aha! I'll make my own. And it went from there. So here I am today. Doing something I never thought I'd do. But, why not try new things. I mean, what's the worst that can happen?

I do hope this gave to some insight to me. And I hope you visit often because I'll be posting fequently. I'll also be working on some new projects, so come and check them out!!! Most of the stuff will be for sale so when I post pictures I'll have the prices with them.

Till next time

Love and hugs

Nette
