About Me

My photo
MrsWickie
I knit. I bake. I own teapots. I'm (unsurprisingly) a member of the WI. I swing... dance (you dirty fool). I have an awesome dog. I like to keep busy in my free time. When I'm old, I want to look back at my life and only have things to regret because I genuinely couldn't fit them in, and not because I was too lazy to try.
