My name is Maria, I love knitting, sewing, fossil hunting, archaeology, egyptology, Roller Derby, collecting vintage stuff, unusual print fabrics, 80's rock music, Blythe, Strawberry Shortcake and Wonder Frogs.
I have a husband, 3 children and two mad furry cat-things and after a long time, now own a miniature dachshund *big smile* :D
My house has undergone a major re-build, and my shiny new craft room is finished!!!
If I could, I'd live in a fuzzy world of yarn and kitsch.
I'm inspired by art nouveau, deco, the 1950's, Japanese pop culture, Bettie Page, and and anything obscure. I like to 'rescue' vintage pottery and have a deep love for pastel pyrex.
Knitting keeps me sane, and my boys keep me busy!
John William Waterhouse and Jasmine Beckett-Griffith are my favourite artists, John Waters, John Hughes and Tim Burton my fave directors.

"Maria is possibly the coolest person I have ever met! She dresses fabulously, she knits like an angel (yes of course angels can knit, everyone knows that), she's beautiful and kind.
You don't often get that in one person - appreciate her :-D"14th January, 2008
