Beginnings

Seems to be the craze, blogging about your craft, your ideas, your passionate hobbies and your life. Here I am embarking on my first blog about my Art and Craft.  I've been interested in Art and Craft for many, many years, even did two Diplomas at TAFE in Visual Art and Graphic Design. It's only now that during my years at University that my craft is beginning to come alive. My friends have always asked me, Are you going to start selling your stuff? In my first year of Uni I had an assignment where I needed to cater for a learning experience with children from ages 4 and up. And after many days of deciding what to do, it took even longer to work out to make what I intended!.

 When I got to show off my learning experience to my fellow classmates, the first question posed to me was Are you going to market that? That learning experience was children learning to make their own salad sandwiches. I had hand sewed  8 slices of bread, slices of ham, cheese, lettuce, beetroot and tomato all made from felt.

After that experience I was inspired to sew more and so the following year I hand sewed some felt cupcakes. They were adored by my friends and their positive comments inspired me to make more and more.

Of course making all these wonderful treasures I had collected and bought a lot of materials and now have this passion for all types of fabric and what I could do with it. So while I have been at this for some time, this will be my journey in the internet world of my ups and downs of my crafting.
