Hi, welcome to this blog featuring my musings on crafting, long term illness and mental health... A little bit about what I make and a little bit about how I feel...
I plan to put together some info and advice and links on mental health, especially about depression, on the blog. It may take a while as: (1.) I'm quite ill at the moment and (2.) I want to get it right and make sure the advice/info and links I provide are all right. So watch this space....
