Catherine
Ooh, this is the tricky part!
Well, I’m Catherine, I’m a mother to 2 gorgeous girls, and wife to the Love of My Life (a little yuck, Â I admit), so I guess I’m pretty lucky there.
I love making things. It doesn’t matter if it’s useful items for our home, decorative ideas, gifts for others. I just love having a go at building something new and unique, and really letting my creative side come to life.
