This is what it’s all about…. January 17, 2008

Hello World!  This being my very first “weblog” (since the days of livejournal) where should I begin?

I am 25, recenlty married.  We have a very large cat – Trout (his brother lives two doors down – Kilgour is his name – two points if you know who Kilgour Trout is!?).  Charlie is our dog.  We love him. 

I grew up with a mother who was advid of all things crafty.  My sister and I were seen daily in home-made outfits until we were old enough to realize that matching with your whole family is not the coolest thing ever.  Mom knits, crochets, sews, did macrame, all things crafty were her thing.  The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

I started to knit a couple of years ago when I decided to move to Humblodt County for awhile.  That bored me to death so I picked up crocheting.  Love it.  I am addicted to Amigurumi like nobody’s business.  Nothing gives you the satisfaction and pleasure of creating your very own animal!  I’ve only been doing this for maybe six months or so, but I guess you could say i’m Hooked!

 Here are a couple of things i’ve made:

 Helga the Hippo – my very first amigurumi (pattern from Crochetville)

Beatrice the Bunny

and, Elijah the Elephant

 I’d love to share my other projects, but the camera is on the fritz!

 Let me know what you think!
