This blog is an important extension of my website http://www.crochetasylum.com/. It is an attempt to reach as many crochet fanatics as possible. And to, hopefully, prompt a lot of comments that I can translate into useful, informational reference material on my website. It is a "test" blog for me, and I truly hope you will participate in it!
I have made reference to myself as "an artist" ever since I could hold a crayon. I am a very independent professional artist and crochet designer who lives with another very independent person. . . my husband, Douglas. We have been married for 35 years, and the last 10 years have been in Williamsburg, VA. We are in the process of selling our fabulous house (just one and a half miles from Colonial Williamsburg), so that we can migrate to Palm Desert, CA where we will be closer to my husband's family. We also love the desert and surrounding mountains (as well as the fruitful golf courses). You can visit our lovely home and neighborhood in Williamsburg at our second blogspot www.estate4sale.blogspot.com.
