I love to make things

Growing up I always loved making things. As I've got older most of my hobbies are creative. I started scrap booking about 12 years ago and now I also love card making, photography, and most recently I have taken up knitting and sewing.
At the end of 2009 I decided to teach myself knitting. My nan had taught me when I was young and so I could pick up the basics quite easily. I say easily, as easy as it is for a left-hander to knit. I have my own style of holding the needles that amuses most people, but it works for me. I then managed to get myself a, well cared for, second hand sewing machine and I was away. There was no stopping me.
I have no practical training except what I learnt in school, from friends and family, and any info I can find in books or online, but I love designing things and just giving it a go.
I have mainly been making things for family birthday presents etc, but I really wanted to have somewhere I could showcase what I've made for friends, family, and anyone else to see.
I would love feed back about anything you see here. All items I've made are one off, original, pieces.
