Hi there,
I'm a WAHM to a woderful seven year old son, called Raoul.
The 2 of us live in Llandeilo, Wales, UK a small, beautiful town near the Brecon Beacons.
We've got a totally mad rescued terrier cross named Mimi and an Icelandic Pony called Goliat.

From our home in Llandeilo I design and create children's toys, clothes and textile accessories using organic fair trade, vintage and reclaimed materials
