Hi, I'm Tam (30 but shhhh). A sewing mama to Blake (3) and Ella (1). I live on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia but I am a New Zealander. I love the beach, summer, swimming, sewing (when I get a chance).

I love to read, but don't often do it. Have two dogs and two kids, one husband and a full on life!

I LOVE getting and sending snail mail so thought this would be a great way to get something other than bills in my letter box!

I love sewing: clothes, softies, bags...you name it, its always just a matter of finding the time.

I'd love anythin sewing related, materials, patterns, notions. I sew for the kids and am trying to start sewing for myself.

I attempted knitting, but am into instant gratification and knitting takes WAY too long for me.

I also love to bake, and now make my own bread! And really enjoy doing it. So recipes are always welcome. I have a little helper in my cooking projects too.

Books? I LOVE to read, but rarely get a chance...and I'm a 'judge a book by its cover' type of gal!

Um...feel a bit odd doing this but if it helps someone in a swap with me!
