I am new to this so please bare with me. I am not the best writer out there so this may not be the best, but who truly cares right. Anyways the names April and I'm 23. I guess this post shall be a little getting to know me.
No, just because my name is April does not mean I was born in April. I was born in November of 89. I am the youngest and only girl in my family, extended family excluded. I have three lovely nephews, of which I love to pieces. Edward the eldest of the three, whom I call midget, is the closest to my heart. When he came into this world my willingness to learn how to crochet burned brightly. It had taken three people to teach me before finally getting the hang of it! By the time the third one came alone I was crocheting airplanes.
I have struggled with keeping up with hobbies in the past so I never believed I could come this far in crochet. All throughout middle ad high school I would write poetry. Don't think most of them were that great. But I have always loved crafts. So here I am today and I try to keep pushing myself with something new.
But first, I should state for the record, I can't promise to remember to upload here. So check out my facebook www.facebook.com/stitcharound and follow me on Instagram and tumblr, the name is Stitcharound.
Last year I was diagnosed with panic disorder with agoraphobia, so I don't go out much. Never really liked new places or new people. I have been doing so much better I the past 6 months thanks to a certain person and to crochet. Although right now I am going through a bit of a set back. I am finding it a bit hard to find motivation to do things and to go out. I am hoping that I won't go back to my old habits though. And hopefully in time things will be good again, after all who doesn't go through a rough patch from time to time.
Everyone that has seen my work, friends and family, have said that I should sell what I create. So with that I had created a page on Facebook, finally last year I came up with the name I had wanted to use, with a little help from a friend. Stitch Around has been there for me this past year and has become a place to hide and get lost. There are so many things to make and I feel as though there isn't enough time.
Stitch Around isn't just me though I did create it. My cousins wife Hollie, who taught me to crochet is apart of this. When I question a pattern in any way I turn to her even though it seems of late that I have surpassed her. And a new member Tiffany, of which I've known since second grade. She is a beginner who is learning again and in the memory of her grandmother.
Hopefully soon I can upload some of my work, or theirs, but until then I hope all are well.
Blessed be!
