Hi world.... Have now joined the world of Bloggers.... and started my own Blog spot. You will need to bear with me as this is something new to me and so will have a few teething problems I am sure.....

My name is Pat and I am an American living here in Britain.... Married a lovely British Gentleman by the name of Brian. Whom I met via the internet. We have a common interest in CATS. And we are owned at this point in time by two lovely boys by the names of Cheeky and Jingles.

They adopted us. Guess they know some big softies when they see them. At the moment we are going through a picky phase of not liking our cat food and driving Mom and Dad up the wall trying to figure out what it is they want to eat.....

I also enjoy cooking and have a huge collection of cook books and magazines.. So if you happen to be looking for a certain recipe, let me know.... That was my Prawn and Avacado in a creamy mustard sauce starter and Beef Wellington with Lyonnaise augratin potatoes and sauteed veg... which I fixed for our Valentine Supper... By the time I got to dessert I was too full to take any more photos.... it was Grilled cherry crepes with vanilla ice cream...

I am also into crafts in a rather big way and have a very well used crafting room that is never tidy.... I have heard that a messy room shows a creative mind.... Well I must be extra creative then. I enjoy making cards to send to my family and friends and love trying out different techniques to create these cards. I also enjoy crocheting, knitting, quilting, spinning and weaving and cross stitch oh and beading...... I belong to several internet craft groups and I am the leader of an Ebay craft group. Very talented and creative people in these groups. Also I have introduced crafting to my friend Linda who is now totally addicted just like me. We get together with her two kids during school breaks and have cardmaking lunches.... :) Here are just a few of the cards and items I have made in the past.... The quilled tags I make and sell on Ebay when I have time so I can help fund my crafting. We also make cards for charities in our Ebay group...

Well a few other things about me is I enjoy computers, Photography, birdwatching, gardening and travel.... I will need to introduce these at a later date as I really must go and work on some cards now..... Have a great day!!!!
