There's a Mouse in the house!

Hellllooooooo there!

Tis me!! The eldest of the bunch, Or Mouse as I am known during my crafty adventures. Mum hinted that I might join you all and I think it took all of 5 seconds to twist my arm into being here hehe.  

Now I'm going to start on the right foot. If we are going to be lifelong blog buddies then I need to be honest about something...

I have a problem...

My name is Mouse and I am addicted to Hooking!

Holy yarn balls, That felt good to get off my chest, But don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for any kind of cure, unless the cure is yarn, yarn and a whooole stack more!

I believe my love of all things artsy and craftsy started at a young age. Some of my earliest memories are smushing playdoh into fun shapes and various bubble paint crafts at nursery and home. From then on, the love grew with me. In fact one of the first thing's I remember crocheting was a three square, granny square blanket for my barbie's bed, while on a weekend trip to Grandma and Granddad's and now here I am, some 15 years later with one blanket made for my king size bed and another one on the hook.

My Mum and Grandma have always been my guiding light's through my various crafty adventures and have never failed to nudge me in the right direction and shower me with endless encouragement. It is because of them that I am the nifty little hooker I am today and I honestly cannot thank them enough, for all the joy my craft has brought me so far.

So crochet, I don't want to say I am a pro at it, because on more than one occasion a pattern has taken the aerial route across the living room . I would say I'm more of an intermediate with a few neat flares. 

Now I, like my Mum, Cannot even contemplate relaxing unless my hands are busy with something or other, and I can't seem to stick to one project at a time. So I often have several hooks on the go, plus any number of other types of projects dotted around the living room. As Christmas is approaching, I have a couple of little projects taking up a good portion of my crafty time and I can't wait to share them with you.  I will snap some pictures as I go along to show you all, but for now you will have to wait until after the big day, so we don't go spoiling the surprise.

Over the next month or so, I will be working on a little something to offer you all. a little gift from me to you. In the meantime, here is a little hint'a'roo of what it might be.

Toodles for now.
