I first learned to crochet as a child, but couldn't get beyond the first chain (at that time I called them 'Love Chains' the longer the chain the more you meant to me) then I lost interest. Back in 2008, my best friend taught me how and I took off with it.

A lot of people view it as old fashioned, but I think of today's crocheters as 'old fashioned with a modern twist'. I'm proud to be one of them :)

I try to keep most of my designs simple, but once in a while I'll think of something complex (ex: Miniburt) and fall in love with it.

Since opening, I've added in a couple more 'crafts'. I began to make jewelry in 2011 and my photography (no longer featured in THIS shop) I was working on since 2008, but didn't add it in until much later, removing it in Feb 2012 to a second shop. I'm hoping to add in yet another 'craft' here soon. I'm just awaiting more feedback.

Rayvenstar's Gifts is all about the handmade item. Each item is made with a lot of love and hard work poured into it.
