Wednesday_Elf Crochets Left-handed Too!

Self-Taught and Loving being a 'Lefty'

Wednesday_Elf a.k.a. Pat is passionate about crafting in Crochet. She's 'dabbled' in many of the fiber arts over the years (knitting, sewing, embroidery, needlepoint), but she always comes back to her first love - Crochet - where she creates plush 'cute critters' for her Etsy Shop Mountainside Crochet

Elf's other deep passion is Baseball and during Baseball Season you'll frequently find her crocheting in front of the TV while watching a baseball game! When she's not crafting and/or watching baseball, this 'Elf' is writing on Squidoo about ...Crafting and Baseball. There seems to be a common thread running through the Elf's routine! :-)

A Crafter from "Downunder"

Christine from Australia loves to create in the fields of knitting, crochet and beading. Her crafting stories are written with humor and much love as she shows off her favorite creations. As you can tell by the lenses listed below, cdcraftee is very creative!

Christine states "I take much pride and pleasure in combining my lifelong love of knitting and crocheting with my later-found skill in beading, to create unique accessories...."

*Special note: Christine's story called "Soft Toy Shuffle added below isn't about 'crafting' per se.... but is what a crafter and lover of stuffed toys would do -- she rescued and refurbished 'lost' soft toys'.
