Here We Go!

Well, I’ve decided to dip my toes in the blogging world. I have done a few in the past, but they have never stuck.  This blog will feature everything from my crochet crafts, sewing crafts, my attempt at quilting when I decide to try that; Pinterest successes and fails, and just day to day activities. Eventually, I am hoping to set up an Etsy shop so you can browse some products I have created, but I need to get an inventory going first ;).

I went with the name “Sugarplum Stitches” because my boyfriend calls me Sugarplum and most of my crafts include stitches (crocheting, sewing, eventually quilting).

Since this is my first post, I figure I will tell you a few things about me. I am 27, live in Southwestern Ontario and taught myself to crochet about a year ago. With life changes that happened over the last 2 years, I needed a creative outlet. In past years, I tried knitting (which I failed miserably at, multiple times), and quilting when I was 15 (again, I failed miserably). 

I decided to look up YouTube videos on how to crochet and after hours and hours of trying; I made my first hot-pad and was hooked! (See what I did there? ;))

A little more about me… I am an animal lover, Disney fanatic, book reader and Christ follower.  My dream dog to own is a bulldog; my dream vacation is Disney, again.  My favourite book is anything written by Nicholas Sparks (I’m a hopeless romantic).

Well, I guess that’s enough for today. Check back soon for some pictures of my crochet hats I just finished.

Thanks for reading!
