Introductions...

My name is ElleMae and I am a 30-something health professional and mother living and working in Auckland, New Zealand. I have been married to the Code Monkey for FIVE whole years as of this Friday (we agreed to stay married for 50 years so only 45 to go!) and we have a stunningly gorgeous two-year-old son called CeeJae. I have been meaning to start this blog for AGES as a place to store and discuss all kinds of stuff, particularly relating to the numerous creative projects I'm always undertaking - to the detriment of my PhD! - as I'm a needleworker who's recently discovered the joy of quilting, especially using Amy Butler fabrics and bag patterns.
