Hi Im judy

Mense Sense Cloth Pads is a small home based business run by me, Judith Howell, in the small historic town of Maldon in the Goldfields of Central Country Victoria, Australia.  I work from home, in my sewing room that my lovely husband built for me, within the walls of our shed.

I have no employees, but my husband Nick regularly gives me a pat on the back when I am busy. Actually, he maintains the website, packs orders, and if I'm lucky brings me cups of tea while I sew. 

I am also stepmum to Nicks daughter who lives with us full time. We grow veggies, keep chooks, enjoy gardening and are slowly restoring our old house bit by bit. 
 
Prior to Mense Sense, I was self employed as an artist and graphic designer, and I have also been a librarian and a florist!  I love anything creative and in my spare time I usually have my hands into some creative project or another. Right now I'm making a splashback for the kitchen we don't have yet! We will get there!
