My name is Cathy, and various things needlecraft count among my hobbies.
I get my passion for thread based crafts from my mother. She bought me a sewing machine for my birthday when I was little and taught me how to make clothes. She taught me how to knit and crochet, embroider and do cross-stitch. She used to crochet dresses for my dolls, and I'd knit sweaters for my stuffed animals.
Whenever I start a project on a whim I'm usually thinking of her, since she is where all this creativity came from. I love to make things, more of them than I or my mother could ever use. The making is as much part of the joy as owning and using. Hence, my creations are now here for others to enjoy as well.
