Crafting was not part of my life growing up. I stumbled into it in 2005 whilst homeschooling our two youngest children inside a freezing cold Armidale, NSW, caravan park cabin. We were living there for 6 months whilst my husband filled a temporary teaching post. With not much to do after teaching the kids, I turned to some craft magazines loaned by a fellow homeschooler. Wow! Inspiration hit, and the words "I could do that" fell from my lips. I got hooked with the first stitch, and have never looked back. My first designs were shared through my blog in 2009, and a steady following grew from there. Many of my patterns feature roses, a touch of whimsy, and the occasional childhood delight scattered about. I'm a stitchery gal first and foremost, so be prepared for plenty of downtime with needle and thread in my patterns! Blanket-stitch appliqué is a pretty diversion and I love to mix it up with a bit more stitchery. Colour wise I am split between gorgeous shabby pastels, or those beautiful 30's to 50's reproduction reds, blues and greens. On a personal note - I love playing in the kitchen, need to write something every day, love to be in the Ford Ranger with my adventurous husband of more than 30 years heading out bush, I laugh so loud your house might break and love spending time with my precious daughters (near and far) and a bunch of treasured grand kids who keep me grounded. I'm a blessed child of God and if I wasn't designing and stitching I'd be writing full time. Maybe one day?! Visit my website at http://www.elefantz.com
