a new venture!

Hi everybody! I have been following a lot of blogs for a while now but never actually blogged for myself.....to tell the truth......I am a bit, well a lot, well maybe totally, computer illiterate!!! And doing this scares me, SO, please be patient with me and I will try my best. I haven't even worked out how to put pictures from the camera on the computer yet..... I have a feeling that I will be calling in a lot of favours from friends and family over the coming days!! I think my 7 year old grandson has more knowledge of things technical than I. Anyway I suppose I had better tell you a little about myself. I live in a small town in North Yorkshire, but am a country girl at heart! I used to have my own soft furnishing business untill a short while ago, when I had to give it up because of ill health..... will tell you about that in a later blog. I love all things crafty........... especially sewing, patchwork, knitting, crotchet, cross stitch, and papercrafts. I am never happier than if I have something in my hands to work on, usually several things on the go at once! I also love horse riding and am very priveliged to have the use of a friends horse whenever I want. For all you ' horsey' people out there, he is a beautiful liver chestnut, Irish Draught, 16.3 hh and his name is Louis. I also have part ownership of some chickens along with my 10 year old Grandson. They live on a farm so it is ideal. Him and I went to a fur and feather sale on Saturdy at a local Auction Mart and had great fun bidding and winning a very large cockeral to go with our girls. He is very striking, but I am not sure that the girls think so yet! Well, I think I will leave this here and see which button I press next to send thisn for you all to read. Thank you for taking time to look at this. Love from Wendy.
