My name is Gemma and this blog is going to be about all of my interests and passions. There are many. Far too many. So many in fact that I aim to fill a website with them.
I love all kinds of crafty pursuits – papercrafts, cross stitching, crochet, and jewellery making to name a few – and there are many others I would like to try. In the near future I’m going to open an online store on this site to sell some of my handmade creations.
More generally I like books (the more the better; my shelves complain constantly but Value Village does a roaring trade) and read a wide variety of genres. I enjoy writing, mostly sci-fi and fantasy, and I’m sure that one day I’ll be brave enough to share some of my writing with the world. Maybe this will be the platform to begin doing that. I’m also a huge geek and go to costume conventions
Professionally I have a degree in Geology and would like to begin studies for a master’s degree in the near future. I worked for the UK Government for 10 years, mostly in communications. I’d like the opportunity to get back into freelance writing and editing work and hope to start offering my services via this website.
This blog is going to be a chance to connect with people and reconnect with my own interests. I aim for it to be a personal and professional stepping stone to new and exciting things; in short, it really is my new leaf.
Thank you for reading and enjoy your stay here.
Gemma
