<br />
I'm a forty-something urban-dwelling country-lover who enjoys drawing, painting, crochet, making things, reading, gardening, writing, photography and cake. I live on my own in a small, unremarkable house on a small, unremarkable estate close to green space in south Manchester. I have two grown-up sons and a little granddaughter, as well as a part-time job in a seventeenth-century rare books library. I spend a lot of time day-dreaming, and would like to live near the sea.<br />
<br />
<strong>What?</strong><br />
<br />
I started Mouse as a blog and a space to sell the things I make in July 2008. At the beginning of 2011 I made a decision to change my focus from sewing and making to painting and drawing, the continuation of a journey I began well over a quarter of a century ago...<br />
<br />
<strong>Why Mouse?</strong><br />
<br />
Mouse is the name of a little, excitable and devoted dog who belongs to Meg, a four-year-old character in <em>The Heart of the Family</em>, the third book in Elizabeth Goudge's Eliot trilogy. It is also an adopted name for myself in correspondence with my lovely cousin who lives in a cosy cottage in rural Dorset. Naturally, she is Country Mouse and I am Town Mouse.Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08563878298811062442noreply@blogger.com0
