I hold a British passport but I was born in South Africa. I grew up in Angola, Iran, France and South Africa but now I live in New Zealand. This has made me a bit of a gypsy and I love travel and exotic things. I am also inspired by all the amazing cultures and art of the world.
I married my childhood sweetheart, a red head with a bad rep. who is now the sweetest thing since candy floss. We have two precious daughters, two bulldogs (jasmine and poppy) and a pug called Salty. (some chickens and rabbits and goldfish too).
We are busy building a new home in a rural area - its a crazy adventure.
I am a bit of a greenie (well I try anyway) and I can be rather nerdy/ecentric/funky depending on which day you get me. Big weakness for chocolate and op shops. Really bad at spelling and I use lots of cliche's.
I share a creative blog with my sister Paula, and we have a lovely etsy shop too.
I love God, creative expression, summer rain, winter sun.
So far my life has been a roller-coaster ride - great highs and lows - but boy, what an experience it has been.

"Shelly's handwork is top rate, she pays such attention to detail she puts me to shame. She takes a great photo too!"
