Ever since I was a little girl I've enjoyed making things - mostly for dolls.
Over the last ten years or so I've used my skills as a professional handknitter for an English sweater company and sewn and knitted clothes on eBay for collectable fashion dolls. I haven't kept many of my own creations - imagine a row of naked, disappointed-looking dolls and you wouldn't be too far from the truth :)
But since I got married in 2010 I have actually started to keep my own work. My head has been warm this winter due to my sudden passion for knitting hats, and my dolls are dressed for the season! Some of my cross-stitching is decorating the hall in my house, and the chairs in the kitchen have been recovered.
I'm having a great time doing things for me, but I still want to share pics and chat about my crafts (my husband can only admire a dolly sweater so many times before it gets silly) and that's the reason for this new blog.
I hope you will enjoy looking and maybe leave me a comment or two.
Thanks :)
