In the begining...

I started this blog for myself. A place where I can keep track of all my projects. If people like reading it, rock on! I am sure the layout will change all the time. So far I have changed it twice and it is only a week old!

I have always been crafty. I like glue, paint, magazine clippings and photography. I can't draw to save my life! I have sewing since I can remember. When I was like 5 years old I was using my mom's sewing machine, making doll dresses. I zipped over my fingers. I came running to my mother upset that I was bleeding on the pretty dress I was making. I had sewed both thumbs and index fingers together. It was awhile before I was allowed anywhere near the machine again. Not that it mattered, it hated me. When I was in the 6th grade I started taking sewing lessons at a fabric store. The first year we learned how to do all sorts of things. The the last to years the teacher was to busy to really teach us anything so they just let us use what ever fabric we wanted and the machines. I miss that...

I started knitting last summer. I started because of a little book called stitch 'n bitch. I had wanted to learn how to knit, but not old lady knitting... I taught myself and took it slow in the begining. It was awhile before it was fun or easy. Now I am hooked. I don't make large progects, but little things to keep my attention. I have been working on making my own patterns and having lots of fun!

So I hope you enjoy my little crafty spot in cyberspace!
