I live in the beautiful Blue Mountains which is about one and a half hours drive west of Sydney. I've been sewing, knitting and crocheting since I was about 7. Growing up in New Zealand (Christchurch) it was mandatory for every girl to be able to run up a frock and knit a jumper. I was fortunate and actually enjoyed making things. I now sell a few of my crochet patterns on Etsy (violetchartreuse)
