I was creative from a young age, if there was paper and a pencil laying around I would be scribbling on it, or making something out of boxes, and as I grew Art become my favourite subject at school, though once I left school I pursued other hobbies, mainly horse riding, as long as I can remember Ive always been an animal lover, always wanting to go and 'stroke the dog ' or pleading with my parents every Christmas for a pony, though the dream of owning my own horse never came until I was in my mid 20's. I now own an Appaloosa called Harley, and 3 dogs, Honey a little heinz57 who was rescued off the streets in Spain as a pup, Misty a blue merle Shetland Sheepdog and her daughter a tri coloured sheltie called Brockley.

​

Sadly I lost my 'horse of a lifetime' Freckles in November 2018 after 20 years together, I 

shall be making something special with her hair

​

When Foxy my last Sheltie died I wanted to do something with her ashes and after searching keepsakes online, I came across resin keepsakes, along with horse hair bracelets, but as I lived in Spain at the time it was hard to find anyone local, so I started creating my own. So 'Foxy Keepsakes' was established in 2014  and my keepsakes business is named in her honour

​

My own animals have had their fur and hair snipped to use in some of my samples much to their disgust,

but at least I have a reminder of them all.

​

I lived in Spain from 2004 and 2016  but I'm now living back in my home town of Nottingham
