A Little about myself

Hi all,

First off, Im a 24 year old,I am from Australia,  I live with my Fiance who ive been with for almost 9 years, we have a wonderful 6yr old daughter together and two lovely male cats. I work full time at Aldi aswell and use all my spare time to make little projects

Ive decided to start a little blog of my projects, I've been doing alot of crafts from scrapbooking, to card making, cross stitching and my latest is crochet. I started back when i was about 10 with cross stitch and was just doing many simple things like bookmarks or just little pictures. I then stopped and only just got back into it about 8 yrs ago. But with just small things again but then i have purchased a lovely Winnie the Pooh stitch and was determined to finish it so i started and i think it look me over 3years to finish on and off.

I then got pregnant with our daughter Abigail and i thought that i would start a little scrapbook to track and keep my progess for ever. I ended up making 3 scrapbooks all almost bursting their that full. I havnt been doing them for a while now, but i did end up making one for my niece of her first year and have it to her mum n dad for xmas last year (2013).

During all this time i was always cross stitching and making cards and i would sometimes mix the two. Last year (2013) for xmas i made cross stitch xmas cards to give to people and looking back now i have realised just how much work that took.

To get up to date, about 6 months ago i decided i would give crochet a go. I did a little googling and ended up finding a great person on youtube and watch her videos and taught myself from her videos. I then started with a few simple scarfs, blankets and granny squares. I then thought about making a simple blanket for my niece consisting of tiny granny squares (2rows big) and make her a "My Little Pony" blanket. I found a picture and used it as a guide and made my first blanket and currently i have another in the process.

I then was doing a little more researching finding some new projects to give me some ideas of what to do next and i came across a think called Amigunimi and i fell in love. I then found a perfect pattern to make my other niece for xmas, An Olaf from the movie Frozen. I completed him Yesterday and was so happy with myself. He turned out so great!. While i was doing Olaf i found a Toothless pattern from "How to train your dragon" and thought that would be another great project. So i was doing this while also completeing Olaf, I did finish Toothless this afternoon and as he does look great for my second amiguimi with alot more pieces to attach. He is a little off centre but i just think of it as a lesson i can learn from.
