The days are getting shorter, the temperature is dropping, the leaves have fallen from the trees.  This can mean just one thing: Christmas time is fast approaching.

As a child, I remember the Christmas stockings hung from the mantel of our fireplace. Grandma hand knitted each, our names lovingly embroidered on each, making each one so very special to us.

I've always been interested in crafting since I was a little girl growing up in a large family of 6 siblings. I've experimented with almost every type of craft that I can think of:

• Sewing
• Cake decorating
• Counted Cross Stitch
• Knitting
• Quilting

I've had my share of frustrations along the way in my creative endeavors. I'd like to share my continuing journey in the world of crafts with you, and maybe some of what I've encountered can help you, as well as your experiences helping me and others.

As my motto states "Creativity Through Crafts"
