Creation and expression have been an integral part of my life from a very young age, and the outlet tends to cycle.
I dabble in almost all arts and crafts, trying things out here and there. I have attempted sewing and embroidery but don't feel that I have the space to dedicate to the machine set-up. I have certainly done my share of drawing, but that's been on the back burner for quite a while. Jewelry was a large part of my creation process for a few years, but I have also let that slip.
Currently, I am obsessed with crochet, having taught myself during the summer/fall of 2010.
