Since this is a crafting blog I won't bore anyone with things about my life, just about my crafting history.
I started crafting at a young age because my Mom, Grandma and several of my Aunts were all into making stuff. My Mom got me started on small plastic canvas projects like tissue box covers and a pencil case. But it wasn't until I was eight years old that I found a craft that I came to love, cross stitching. Mom had bought a bunch of kits from Creative Circle, a crafting company and I had asked to learn how to cross stitch because there was one of the kits that I had wanted to do. It was a Christmas Stocking for the next year, 1984 and so she taught me.
It wasn't easy, I had to make sure my hands were clean before I could touch the fabric, I didn't know about cleaning a finished project back then. And I had to read all of the instructions before I could begin but I learned about centering the fabric and sorting my threads and I was hooked.
Although through the years I have expanded my crafting skills to crochet (I'm not that good yet), plastic canvas, embroidery, sewing, scrap booking, ceramics and I have been attempting to teach myself to knit over the last two years. But I have also branched into party planning and weddings. I do intend to continue to learn new crafts for there are a great many more out there that I haven't even touched on yet.
But there you have it a bit about me and the almost 33 years I have been crafting. I plan on posting my W.I.Ps and finished projects as often as I can.
