Hello

Hello and Welcome

This is my first blog page and im still trying to work it out :)

Heres a little about me, my life and my growing passion........

I am 24 and a mum of two adorable, if sometimes hard work, children. My little girl Teya is 4 and has just started school and my little boy Wyatt is two and is still at home with me. I work as casual nursery assistant, which means i work only when im needed, which at the moment is half a day a week. I have been with my partner since we were both 16 so thats nearly 8 years!!!!!

I have always been into making and creating things myself. My passion started at the tender age of around 8 when i used to watch the childrens making programs.

As i got to around 12 years old i realized i wanted to create my own clothes my first attempt was a halterneck top, hand sewn, which i reconed from an old cardigan of mine (my mum was not pleased) and i was very proud of myself

After that i collected jeans from family (some were still in use so i hide them) and attempted to make a pair of patch jeans, again hand sewn,which would have succedded if my mum hadnt found it and threw them out in temper oopps!!!

After that i sort of left it for a while but kept my passion alite with designs and notes scribbled on bits of paper all kept in one folder, most of which i still have!!!

Then life got in the way lol i went to college met my partner and had my children......

During and after my first pregnancy i did mostly cross stitch after my mum gave me two teddy bear samples to start and complete (both are still unfinished at the bottom of my draw!!!!!)

During my pregnancy on Wyatt i picked up my rather dusty needles and tried to create a baby sleeping bag....... which i planned to line with fleece ...... it didnt work out that well and i was not interested in frogging it so i threw it out!!!!!

Then i knitted a coat for my daughter which was too small:( i still have that at the bottom of my knitting bag.....ive just checked..... its not there :( so i think i might of gotten rid of that too

After that i tried to do some things with patterns but i never completed them!!!

Then last january i picked up a pattern for a hooded jumper and finally finished something i started. I was so determined too and very proud when i finally did

Since then

ive collected all sorts of wools to use lots and lots of patterns and a large collection of knitting needles and my needles havent touched the inside of my needle bag since !!!!!!!
