Have you ever thought about why you started to cro Have you ever thought about why you started to crochet? That is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. 

I started to crochet as a way to escape from all of my medical problems. It’s been away to take my mind off of whatever is going on and to just have fun. I have always loved the whole process of amigurumi, from designing to seeing it come to life the way I imagined. 

I also have switched to mainly using plush yarn. It calms my anxiety down and provides me with great sensory feedback. While I love all yarn (I always will), plush yarn provides so much for me outside of just being able to make things faster. 

I also have started using dolls in my photos, which I absolutely love. It brings back so many good memories from my childhood and a lot of joy at the same time. 

Why do you crochet? I’d love to know!! Tell me in the comments.

It's playtime with Strawberry Cow Louie!! Little o It's playtime with Strawberry
Cow Louie!! Little ones love playing with my plush monkeys and they especially love this one.
I am having so much fun taking photos again!! It feels so amazing.

Fun fact about me- I have actually been a doll collector since I was a little kid. I have always loved dolls, so making this change in my photos is me being my authentic self and who I am and have been. I have always been a collector of things, but dolls is the one thing (outside of yarn) that I have consistently collected since I was a kid. I went through a very long American Girl doll phase. I even have some brand new ones that are still packaged in the original box that I bought when I was in college. I have been to the American Girl store in NYC a bunch of times (it's such a cool place to go to).

Life is too short to not have fun and enjoy what you're doing. My challenge to you is if you're holding back on something you love because you're afraid of what others might think, do it anyway!! You won't know if you don't try. Plus, if you're going to do something, you might as well have fun with it.
