More about Me

So, you want to know more about me? Feel free to listen in as I interview myself:

How would you describe yourself?

Well, I'm a housewife, caring for my Prince & staff to a cat.

What's with the Spoon Stuff?

I have suffered CFS/M.E for 11 years. I try not to complain too much, but there might be the odd rant here. I'm so lucky to have a sympathetic Prince. The internet is also lifesaver for the CFS sufferer, with blogs, fb & twitter keeping me connected when I can't get off the couch.

Check out http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/ for the Spoon Theory, a great tool for understanding about chronic illnesses.


So what do you do?

I like craft with cardmaking, quilting and scrapbooking being the favs at the moment.

Love gardening & cooking, but with fairly limited results I would say.

Finally, I'm studying Early Childhood Education. Love it, love it, love it!

Why Stretchy Princess?

Well, firstly I am a Princess, and if I don't call myself that, how can I expect anyone else to?! =)
As for the stretchy, well I've been through some seriously hard stuff the last few years, and have managed to survive. I thought I would break soo many times, but here I am, still in one piece, and sometimes even better off. I can stretch further than I think! It's about coping with life, and doing it gracefully.
Plus I'm big into pilates.


What will we find here?

This is a place for me and the stuff I like. There's likely to be lots of gardening, cooking and craft. Some photography, some nerdity (see Star Wars & Big Bang Theory) and hopefully some love.

Any reason I should stay?

Well, this page is for me. An expression of myself. But you'd probably make me happy if you joined in!
let's see, any other reasons?
no ads?
you get a look into my (warped?) mind?
you'll make my Prince nervous?

Come or go, you're welcome.
