Hello, my name is Cheryl and I live in Melbourne Victoria, Australia. I found this fantastic website by accident and it is starting to become addictive..........just like sewing.  I have been sewing on & off for the last 10 years, unfortunately more off due to family and work commitments. I have 9 children ranging in age from 21 to 9 months, 3 beautiful boy and 6 gorgeous girls, and partner Ross, the love of my life.  I have recently decided to 'reward' myself a sewing project everytime I complete an assignment (I am studying law at the moment)  I also enjoy cake decorating and cross stiching. I am an events co ordinator by trade and after having baby number 9 decided to do a career change, hence the reason for going back to school. (got sick of working weekends and missing time with my family) Cheryl, mum to Kathryn, Adrian, Nicole, Matthew, Vanessa, Rebecca, Cassandra, James and Monique. Phew, I really need

Hi Cheryl and welcome. I'm also from Melbourne. I have to say just reading your post exhausted me. Well done - with so much on your plate I'm surprised the sewing machine ever gets a run. I'm sure I'll see you around here somewhere - I visit much too often.

Hi Cheryl, welcome to the group. I look forward to hearing about your sewing projects. What type of sewing do you like to do? You certainly have a full plate it seems. Good luck in going back to school. Marty |

Welcome Cheryl, You are my idol. 9 kids! I was headed there but the doctors stopped me a 4. I like the idea of rewarding yourself with sewing. I enjoy cake decorating also. My skills are no ways near professional, but I love the look on my kids' faces when they see their cakes. Gina

Hi Cheryl Great to see another Aussie on here. I wonder why the Aussies on here I've met so far are all Victorians?? Have fun and learn lots.... I know I have!  Cheers, Soph Cheers, Soph.
I'm happiest when I am sewing! |

I'd say something about the extraordinarily discerning taste of Victorians but since you're from WA originally (?) that probably wouldn't go down too well.
