In May my husband was offered the opportunity to move the the UK for a year for his job as a chemical engineer. He is working at the Pembroke refinery in Pembrokeshire Wales. I did not hesitate to make the move, knowing that this was a unique opportunity. I run a fairly successful Etsy shop and festival business in the Philadelphia area in the US. We packed up some belongings, including my fabric dollhouses, some fabric, scissors, glue, etc. etc. and bought a sewing machine that I can plug in here. My hope is to collect fabrics from the small quilt and fabric stores and create some items while I am here. So far it's been fun and challenging for my husband and I living in a part of Wales that few Americans visit. The lack of choices for shopping and eating has been a bummer, but we are embracing it! I recently did a very small craft show at the Pembroke City Hall showcasing my dollhouses. I found it rewarding to see the reaction to my little dollhouses all the way across the pond!
