Hi all,

Just popping in to say hi! :D I'm Jacqui, age 42 (yikes, when did I get so old!) and live in Cleeve Prior in Worcestershire. I am a SAHM with two boys aged 11 and 7. I have my hands full fighting schools to help my eldest get the right education and help as he has Noonan's Syndrome and finds writing very difficult and painful. I love crafts and have a wonderful craft room, but as it is external to the house I rarely use it (too detached from the kids, too cold, no phone line) but my main love is Scrapbooking although I make cards and am just starting out with crocheting and rekindling a love of knitting. I am on the rather large side and am interested to see all those weight loss tickers kicking around, maybe I might find the encouragement I need here as I have a horrifying 6st to lose!

Anyway, sorry for waffling, that's what happens when you don't see a soul all day apart from your kids!

Jacqui x

Hi Jacqui & welcome to the forum, sounds like you've got your hands full, with getting your son help, hope you get the help you need sorted out.

You'll get plenty of company on here for a 'chat' with others of us who are around during the day

Hi podsmum and welcome to our lovely place. There's always someone around here who's up for a chat, whether about knitting, crochet, any-other-craft or none of the above :D Sounds like you have your hands full - I have a suggestion - move everyone out to the craft room and set yourself up somewhere cosy indoors :lol:

Hope you'll feel happy with us, and look forward to chatting with you. Love your location btw :D

Hi and welcome Jacqui. From a self-confessed poster of over-long posts - I don't think yours was excessive at all! Look forward to chatting more :smile:

Hi there,

I'm just behind you (40 this summer) and also a cardmaker; not so much of a scrapbooker though. Bought lots of stuff determined to make an album for my wedding 2 years ago, but it's still sitting under the sofabed in the spare room :roll: Knitting is definitely my first love though I had quite a gap (the Wilderness Years :lol: ) and only picked the needles up again a few years ago myself. I am indebted to the ladies on this forum for their invaluable knowledge, assistance, support and friendship and it's a pleasure to welcome you into our lovely group. I'm sure you'll find many friends here ... in fact, you may find you no longer have any time for crafting, you'll be spending so long on here :lol:

Hi Jacqui and welcome to our lovely group/forum/place everyone is so friendly and helpful and , Hope you get something sorted for your son soon. I knwo how you feel about your craft room , I had a converted attic...huge fabulous but bloody freezing , but I did get one of those little halogen fires very cheap to run and made a world of difference and not very expensive.......
Because I worked form home quite a lot, so needed to be warm ....so I too like Helen had been in the `Woolderness` for many years but now lucky enough having retired early got lots of time to catch up....and yes if you get the time , there will always be someone here to chat during the day.........
