Welcome to my Blog

After much consideration for my time and other commitments I have decided to join the blogging world. I am an avid reader of blogs and always spend part of my day devoted to searching through my favourites.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Kelly Crafty...yes it really is! I was given this name at birth and now it seems to be my lot in life to be just that...Crafty! I love all types of crafts and artistic pursuits but making jewellery is my favourite thing at the moment. I am sure that will change as it always does.

In the past I have been into painting and knitting, papercrafts and scrapbooking, papermaking and bookbinding. I have dipped my toes in the pottery making ocean as well as sewing up a storm every day for weeks on end. I don't really like to labelled with one particular thing, I guess you could just call me creative!

I live in the town of Ipswich, Qld, Australia and have lived here for 16 years. There are so many things to do here in the crafty realm, great shops and teachers, markets with amazing fellow crafters and a huge amount of support and encouragement from so may people. I am lucky to live here and regret my initial reluctance to join 'the switch'! I was a teen, that's my only excuse!

I am married, 31, have no children at the moment but big plans for them in the near future. I work as a book keeper for a few local businesses and am lucky to mostly work from home. It allows me plenty of time for crafty pursuits, and hopefully now for blogging and writing all about what happens around me.

So, that's me. I hope you will enjoy my writing endeavours and forgive my terrible spelling (thank heavens for spell-check!) Follow me if you enjoy my posts and please make comments...I love to get feedback!
