About Me!

My photo
Maureen Simpson
I am called Maureen Crispi in England, but Maureen Simpson in Italy. I am from South Africa. At the moment I live in Palermo Sicily. I love making things with my hands and running, and hanging out with my little boy, and I love trees and mountains and colour and texture and fresh air and sun and expression and music and plays and lately I have been making dolls!
