Doing what I LOVE and LOVING what I do
I learned to crochet when I was about 10. My great grandmother was bed-ridden and crocheted non-stop. I would sit in her bed for hours and go back and forth in a single stich until I had a very large, mis-shaped square. I did this summer after summer as I grew older until she finally passed in her 90's.
It wasn't until my late 20's that I picked up a hook and started again during a very messy divorce. I made an amazing queen size blanket that I cherish and still use to this day. I call it my "Freedom Blanket". It was my new favorite thing to do in my free time. I started learning new things and exploring the art of crochet.
After a few years my daughter told me I should try and make a beanie. I was hesitant as it seemed like something I could never figure out...but thanks to the wonderful world of YouTube, low and behold, I DID IT! It took a few years to perfect it, but I would make beanie after beanie and watched them get better and better as time went by.
I started to get requests from friends sending me pics and asking if I could make something. So...a little YouTube, a little Google search, and I was making things I never thought I could do...and I loved every minute of it!
So now I am hoping to share my work with the Etsy world. My sister pushed me to create the shop, and I love her for her persistent push and faith in my work. I take great pride in what I make. I will work at until it meets my standard of excellence and present you with a product that I would be proud for you to wear and show off.
Enjoy and thank you for taking the time to read about me :)
