I love almost every natural fiber used for knitting, and I also like hand died yards because they add their own design to the most simplest pattern. I will go out of my way to avoid using acrylic/polyester yarns. 5 years ago I thought myself the art of Tatting. I just love to do counted cross stitch, and have made some designs myself. Sewing was my first love. I even used leathers and swayed. Then came jewelry making (learning to make a mold first), using gold, silver, bronze and other precious metals, I then would casting rings, bracelets and other
Forms of jewelry. I've made some hair pins and combs using Swaravski Crystal cut stones and created necklaces too, oh and before I forget, I do (hand/machine) embroidery and cruelly. Lastly I've been told that I know my way around in the kitchen.
