I'm Polly - I'm 35 - I'm about to leave teaching and pursue my career in photography while doing any job I can to get some money!
I LOVE crafting - it's my life (along with my photography) and there's nothing more I like than swapping things with people. I collect beads, buttons, ribbon, paper ephemera and fabric for my creations. I love music, victoriana, literature, cemeteries, bits and pieces that mess up my study but make it a more interesting place to play in!
