I sewed my first cotton shirt by hand, with sleeves and pockets! at 6 yrs (taught by my great grandmother Lily), then my grandmother Phyllis taught me to crochet and I completed a baby jacket by myself and never looked back.
I took art as a school subject till matric and have crafted all my life. I hate knitting and scrapbooking, yet I love to crochet and make cards.
I love working with tools and have a garage of machines with which I make dollshouses and even a scrollsaw..

I'm pretty handy around the house and can paint and tile with excellence, however,... I leave electrics and plumbing to the pros!
I find ... the more crafts you know...the quicker you pick up the new stuff.
