My new favourite craft
is crochet.
Yep. I have come a long way in a few short weeks.
From a mangled looking almost granny square to hooking away on crowded trains. I've been making teeny tiny crochet things. Prototypes, one may call them. Sort of like these but smaller. And different in design.
One of the things I like so much is that I can tuck a ball of yarn in my coat pocket and happily crochet in a crowded train carriage rather than standing bored for the 30 minutes or so. It maked commuting a bit more fun. Hurrah!

yes, ideas and more ideas, Melba.
I'm going to say 'stay tuned', I'm looking at a place next week so if it's good this will be soon.

I like pirates and I like making stuff. I was taught to sew and knit as soon as my fingers could hold the needles. It was a way of keeping me out of trouble. It was suggested that I become an engineer, so I went to see what that meant. I did a fashion degree. I did a physics degree. Now I get crafty to keep my sanity from my day job. It almost works. Here's some of the stuff I make. I also make things for other people. If you want me to make you stuff, email me.

Any more thoughts on a shop front/residence?
Methinks it would be grand.
