silvershadow
An empty nesting mum, I love to make things, I knit and sew but my passions are crochet and exploring the possibilities of upcycling. Always up for a challenge and love to try something new. Wakeboarding, canoeing and wheelchair basketball have been recent experiences. I'm a passionate open water swimmer, member of the local running club, and can be found in the cake shop after parkrun every saturday.
