Since this is my first post, I want to tell you a little about myself. I'm a bookkeeper who lives on an old farm. I love to crochet, embroider, paint and draw, read, whatever keeps me busy. I'm just starting to sell my crafts online and at craft fairs, and so far have been enjoying that too.

I learned to crochet and embroider from my grandmother, as a lot of us learned from our parents and grandparents. I got more into the crocheting at first, but picked up embroidery again a few years ago. I learned more on my own, and recently have begun designing my own embroidery patterns. I learned Hardanger, crewel, counted thread techniques, and Ukrainian embroidery. I also recently became a crochet teacher at the local craft store. I enjoy teaching the technique to beginners and helping out seasoned crocheters with their problems in patterns and such.

In this blog, I hope to have some how-tos, simple projects, interviews with other crafters, and other things to keep it interesting and varied. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I will enjoy writing it! Thanks, and I'll see you next time.
