About Kate - From Kate Crane's Blog -The Kathryn Wheel

"I am happily married with grown up children,  living in a rural village in the north of England, UK, with various small animals.  I am a teaching artist, and crafts tutor teaching in the UK and other parts of Europe, and love to share my passion for all things arty with others.  

I currently work as a designer, creating rubber stamps, art printing plates, and stencils for Carabelle Studio.......... "

(I followed my nose and this is how it appeared on my computer - possibly a little different on others). I clicked on the 3 dots (settings). Then clicked 'follow settings'. Then look for 'notifications' and under this you will see 'live video'. Click on that and then make sure that 'All notifications' is checked.
