About Me

My photo
Beth
Melbourne, Australia
Thanks for dropping in! A little about me: I'm at the tail end of my PhD, so as an escape from all the science stuff, I like to sew, cook and muck about in the garden. I'm always finding and doing things and forgetting how I got there, so my little blog space is all about noting down my ideas, inspirations, successes and failures to help me remember - and maybe they'll be helpful to you too! I live in the suburbs of Melbourne with my partner, Gib, two cats, three chickens and two mischievous pet rats. Occasionally I'll blog about them and my other passion: karate. I love suggestions, questions and comments, so please don't be shy! Thanks for dropping by!
