About Me!

My name is Andrea, and I'm addicted to crafting! I've been sewing and glue-gunning ever since I was old enough, and I've been doing crochet and knitting for about ten years. I learned to knit as a stress relief, and I've switched to crochet for the most part, because I now find knitting to be more stressful most of the time!

I started blogging in 2010, mainly to keep in touch with fellow cosplayers, and share the struggles we face trying to make a great costume out of nothing. I'd never written my own pattern before, though I can't say I'd never made heavy modifications on an existing one. Nowadays I like to mix my original patterns and the ones I can find for free online, and of course I love sharing them with you! I seriously appreciate the hard work of every other blogger out there, who chooses to share their free patterns with me and the rest of the world, and I think its only right that I do the same.

When I'm not crocheting, I'm busy with my full time job as a Doctor of Chiropractic & Holistic Nutrition. I also try to spend time with my son, Collin, and my partner, Jeff. After my son was born in 2015, I put blogging on hold in exchange for mom life, but I still post occasionally.

You can follow me on Pinterest, or on Ravelry if you'd like to see more of my inspiration. If you're interested in healthy recipes or other health information, check out my professional Blog.
