About Me

42 year old Farmer's Wife from Pembrokeshire, Wales, United Kingdom. No kids. Have Fibromyalgia, Hyper-Mobility Syndrome and Psoriasis.
Worked as a PA to Directors for many years (particularly in the pub/hotel/nightclub industry) and then in the cleaning industry. Gave up work in 2005 due to my worsening health. Have lived in many areas of the United Kingdom, including Birmingham and London. Husband - Richard, 46, Dairy Farmer (loves mountain biking). Interests apart from crafting - horseriding (I have 2 ponies at the moment - Frayne an Exmoor Pony mare and Robbie a Shetland x Welsh Section A), my dogs (Medina an Irish Lurcher and Buzz a Jack Russell Terrier, both rescue dogs), guinea pig, my cats (Milky - pure white moggie, in the house - and 3 farm cats on the yard), travelling (particularly anywhere hot with lots of sightseeing), caravanning, Formula One, eating, surfing the Net/writing on blogs ...

Favorite Music

A huge variety - particularly 80s/90s. Will add specific artists when I can think a bit more (symptom of the Fibro!). Favourites include - Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Scissor Sisters, Take That, Wet Wet Wet, Howard Jones, Breathe, Texas, Keane, Cold Play, Snow Patrol, Queen, Michael Jackson, Erasure, Go West .....

Favorite Books

I love to read - I am just starting 'A Thousand Splendid Suns'

Favorite Movies

We don't go to the cinema very often, as so busy and it is a 11 mile drive to the nearest town. We love Blu-rays and watched Ted recently (so funny). Got a big collection of films - favourites include Withnail & I, Pulp Fiction, the Transporter series, anything with Tom Hanks in it, Little Miss Sunshine, Harry Potter films, The Mission, Black Beauty .... A real mix!!

Favorite Television

I love television!! Property programmes (especially any abroad), behind the scenes documentaries (hospitals, vets, animal rescue, police etc), Strictly Come Dancing, Countryfile, Top Gear, Formula One, any horse programmes, Create & Craft, QVC, Homeland, Doctor Who .....

Favorite Crafts

Cross stitching (since 1995), making cards/ATCs (since 2006), tried knitting and crocheting, but I was hopeless! Did some latch hook a few years back. Also completed a needlepoint cushion on behalf of my mum - would like to do more of that. Always wanted to attempt patchwork and quilting, and just about to start on my first quilt.

Likes

Colours - purple, pink, blue, green, white, silver/glitter, yellow (don't like dark colours). Crafting designs - Cute, American craft, Animals, Teddy Bears, Angels, Fairies, Butterflies, Cupcakes, Teapots/cups, Country Scenes, Cottages, Eeyore, Oriental, Egyptian, Native American, Christmas ... (do not like religious or floral). Threads, fabric for cross stitching. Key rings, coasters, fridge magnets (no more notebooks!!). Cushions. Card making/ATCs - pens, watercolour pencils, rubber stamps, inkpads, papers/card, punches, ribbon, stickers, toppers. Teddy Bears, dolls. Sweets (candy), chocolate. PLEASE NO SOAPS/MAKE UP ETC, as I have sensitive skin.

Comment: Ali... I received your package yesterday. Everything is so cute! My 8 year old grandson was here and I shared the candy with him and told him what little I know about your country. I have been to England twice but never made it to Wales. I love getting stuff from other countires! If you want to swap ATC's let me know.. have fun with the swaps and I will e-mail you later. thanks you!!! Kim
Response: Glad you and your grandson enjoyed the 'sweets' (as we call them!). Looking forward to being penpals (first letter will be in the post soon). I will enclose an ATC - that will be brilliant to add some more to my collection. Ali xx

Hi, Ali! Thank you for the lovely handmade notecard and envie. It was definitely Spring-y! I left a "thank you" also over at NTG - April WTA because I think that is what the notecard is for. I'm in a very similarly named swap called "April - Send a Spring Notecard" and your note read that this was for the "NTG April Swap! Pretty for Spring". But I don't think this was for a swap but for the April WTA draw. So....

I loved it!!!
