Hi, I'm Erica!

I was taught to crochet by my Nana, Doña Gabby, when I was a young girl but forgot all about the craft for many many years. I rekindled my crocheting flame upon graduating college. I checked out tons of books from the library and studied gurus on YouTube to better my craft and to increase my knowledge. I have been going strong ever since :)

I began gifting crocheted booties and mittens to my friends who were having children. I felt it particularly important that every baby have a handmade gift, a belief my Nana instilled in me. At the time of her passing, I inherited her "tools" and they, along with her creations, are my family heirlooms. With every item I make, I feel connected to her. Every time I see my children snuggled up with my handmade baby blanket, it makes my heart smile.

Now, crocheting is my soothing, self-care tactic. It has helped me survive graduate school, the delicate balance of life as a mommy/wife and my high stress job as a Social Worker. You will always find a project (or two) in my purse. I am "that" bag lady :)

I LOVE relaxing with a skein of yarn and a crochet hook, so kick your feet up and browse a while.

Live, Laugh, Crochet!
