• embroidery (LOVE it),
• stamp carving (new passion of mine),
• felt (like tiny 3D appliques for zippers on my brand new pouches), needle felting and wet felting,
• would love to start to knit again, it's so meditative (though all kinds of cratfs are pure heaven for me)!
• tried to learn crochet and failed...three times (!). Obviously need to look for courses on YouTube. Update: now I can crochet!
• scrapbooking (I'm a beginner),
• beadweaving (that's what I started with primarily. After exploring Flickr last May and uploading pictures there less or more regularly, I started to sew again since last autumn! I even got my own labels few months ago :) So I wouldn't be where I am now without beadweaving which I'd love to continue one day :)

Oooops, almost forgot to fill. I'm 39-years-old self-employed mom, my daughter is 11. Crafting comes right after my passion #1, my daughter. Used to sew clothes as I was 18, mostly with Burda. Made a long break. Curtains as I was 28. Another 10-years-break followed. Now I'm 39 and sew pouches and other pretty little things. A break is not expected. Always happy to find out how to sew by myself, without any tutorials. That's the real challenge. It makes me happy. Update: will start my own shop from June 1st.

I also love travelling, music and laundry. To explore and learn something new - embroidery, stamp carving, working with paper, bento-ing, knitting & crochet and felting. Also photography, ethnography, arts, people who enrich others life, museums, countries, good food, reading, dancing, laughing, lazy-ing - LIVING.
