Glad you’ve found me – my name is Kateri and I live in Scotland with my husband and some super cute rats (see my other blog for their pics).
Just like Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) I’m a librarian by day but, unlike her, I spend my evenings crafting, reading or doing stuff for Girlguiding – I’m a leader for Scottish Senior Section Lones which supports girls who can’t attend a regular unit. Plus I run a DofE open group locally and enjoy a bit of archery.
I seem to be stupidly busy with all of these activities so often fail to post daily or weekly instead most of these posts appear during holidays, weekends or the best of all breaks from work – the snow day. It has been said that I’ve blown my pension on stickers and crafty ideas which is true (though I’m sure those 1980s stickers are now collectables). My road to hell is paved with my intended craft projects that never happened.
I’ve been crafting since I could handle a crayon (mother is an art teacher) and I’ve been making and designing my own miniature bears (under 3”) since April 2003. My bears and critters are continually evolving, so each one is usually unique (this is closely linked to my attention span and loath to mass produce as I find it really dull). Every original Bear Bahoochie creation has a thistle embroidered on it and comes with a little certificate of Bear Bahoochie authenticity.

Hi Kateri,
Just thought I would drop you a line to say hello. I am also a Girl Guide leader and a Librarian working in a school. I also craft – scrapbooking/card making and anything else that sounds interesting.
I am a District Leader in a small community in the middle of the Northern Territory in outback Australia – and I work with girls aged from 5 – 15 in 3 different units.
Regards,
Shelagh
