Welcome to my
world! I’m Ruth, I’m 30 and I live in Bristol. Professionally speaking, I’m a
freelance translator spending my days deciphering all manner of subjects in
German and Russian and making sense of them in English, whilst trying to ensure
that all the hours on my own in front of a computer don’t turn me into a
hermit.
I like my job
(most of the time at least) but what I really love, and the reason behind the
blog, is being creative – sewing, knitting, embroidery, baking, cooking, making
cards, lino printing, a bit of patchwork and quilting, and I think crochet is
next on the list of things to learn.
I’ve always quite
enjoyed making things, but I’ve really got into it in the past couple of years after
my Mum persuaded me into buying a sewing machine and since then I’ve always got
at least one project on the go. There’s only so many handmade items you can fit
into one flat though, and if I ate all the things I baked on my own I’d be the
size of a house, so my friends and family are the main beneficiaries of my
creativity. They tell me I’m quite good at what I do, but I suspect they’re
biased so I decided to share my creations, musings and inspirations with the
rest of the world.
