StayingGreen

I love sewing. I was taught to sew when I was 4. I made panties for the dolls I had (used my socks and got into trouble). When I was 8, my grandmother taught me to sew clothes for myself which was amazing because she is blind and sews like a pro by hand.

Around the age of 7, I became interested in paper crafts, book scrapping, making paper dolls. It's one of my favorite things to do. I picked this up from my mom.

Around the age of 9 or 10, I learned how to crochet. My aunt made a baby blanket for my baby sister and I was amazed with what you could do with a long (super long) piece of string! I learned how to do a chain and single crochet and I was off!

About 6 years ago I started to teach myself how to knit from a book my boyfriend (now husband) bought me. I love the look and feel of knitted fabric. So beautiful.

All these things, and more, I do to this day. I love crafting. I love making jewelry. I love working with polymer clay and I love photography. (Did I forget to mention that? I photograph everything. Someday my memory is going to fade and I will need my photos to look back and remember who I was, what I was and why I was, this crafty silly person)
