I am Marita and I blog at - http://leechbabe.wordpress.com/. I am a mother of two amazing girls, Annie and Heidi. I am a wife to wonderful man called Ralph. I am myself, diagnosed with Crohns disease in my late teens, interested in cross stitch, sci-fi and fantasy. This blog started out as a cross stitch blog but has evolved over the years to cover most aspects of life in my home. In May 2007 my youngest daughter was diagnosed with High Functioning Autism.
