My Very First Post

I have been craving a place to share my crafting adventures, and I am finally making it happen.  I have been, thanks to my mom, crafting in some form or another, for as long as I can remember.  My mom always had at least one project in the works, and after awhile, she'd get bored and move on to something else.  Since I was always by her side, I wanted to do whatever she was doing.  I started crocheting when I was three she says.  I remember finishing my first baby blanket when I was five.  Every year we created a different set of handmade ornaments for our Christmas tree, and I could go on and on about the many and varied crafts she and I worked on.  Because of my mom, crafting, sewing, and stitching are more than hobbies for me- I need to be creative, and my mental health suffers when I go to long without creating something.

So, welcome to my crafty therapy!
