A big pre christmas post
This is a long blog so before you start you will need that cup o coffee or tea, choose your poison as they say, and in my world if it's past six pm! a huge glass of red wine.
I have made a lot of things over the last few years and I'm proud of everything that I have made or achieved crochet and knit wise. I Love that my blog is my on line diary.
I like to think that a blog = on line diary of achievement.
So here almost in the form of an Internet shop site (by isle) are snippets of a whole lot of mostly crochet dresses, with a hint of knit.
I'm self taught and with no artistic training, no HND sadly still no degree, just taster courses. I'm repeating myself here to those who know me,but this so new people who read this can realise that anything is possible.
(Stockholm was my uncertificated degree in life and of the stitch)
Art and creating are the things, I do the best.
Art is all I ever want to be, well famous! but that's because I will be ......one day.
I think that you should always remember where you started and see where your going to. That way you remember things that you have forgotten, reflect on things that you could have changed or if your me, simply love it all.

This post has inspired me, My self, since I thought about doing this, it took alot of searching old photos stored on my back up drive to compete this post.
Since then, I have Inspired myself to create a new dress. Watch this Space, inspired by the TV drama Rome thats all I have to go on at the moment and its simply a collection of knit and crochet peices waiting to be put together in some sort of order.
