Origin Story

First of all, this is not my first time trying to blog. This is my first time I've made an honest mental decision to try hard to create a blog that is interesting, personal and informative for a general audience. Maybe 'general audience' is too general of a term, but I just don't want to be too specific about who this blog is intended for. I could say stay at home mothers, since that is what I am. I could say entrepreneur mothers, since that is what I am trying to be. I could say craft lovers, since that's probably what most of my posts will be about. And sometimes, general audience will be a good enough term because I might just have something to share about a general topic or two, or five. All I can say for sure is anyone who wants to drop by and take a read is welcome, and encouraged :) I want to share as much and as deeply as humanly possible because you never know who's life you can touch or change with your words. That being said here's me:



     I am a twenty something [losing count on purpose] stay at home mother to a beautiful soon to be four-year-old little girl. We are California natives and currently reside in Los Angeles. I know what you're thinking, valley girls through and through. And thought I can't say you're wrong, I can say that I do have some very simple ideals, and even though I LOVE being so close to the city and the beach and the valley all at the same time, I've made sure my family values and how my daughter is raised stays a little bit small townish, if that makes sense. I spent a small bit of my childhood in a very small town in Iowa and I believe a piece of that town will forever be in my heart. Now, pardon me one minute while a gush about my darling daughter. She is the most amazing thing I've ever done and the more I see of her smile, and personality everyday makes me appreciate life and the time we spend. I can truly say that this tiny person absolutely and positively saved my life in every imaginable way. Not only do I feel blessed to have her everyday, but I feel like I owe her everything and plan on spending the rest of my life making good on that debt. (Gushing over)
     I love being a stay at home mommy but for the last few years I've had this desire to create. I get these ideas in my head of things I want to make and it doesn't take long for me to figure out how to do it. I've been crocheting since I was in high school but I've gotten really good at it the last four or five years and have actually started crocheting gifts and things for my family and friends. They have all been telling me I need to create an Etsy account for years, so I finally did. It's still in very early stages but my Etsy shop is open. I do plan on adding more items as soon as I actually get this business off the ground. For now I post a lot on Instagram (kellzcrochetcreations) and Facebook (facebook.com/KellzCrochetCreations) I just got a sewing machine and right now I'm focusing on figuring it all out but I do take custom crochet orders. I spend my days at home with my daughter who keeps me more busy than I can imagine but in between I like to get a little crochet or sewing projects done. I plan on sharing whatever I can when I can about all of my little humble adventures and I hope this blog becomes everything I  want and imagine it will be. And I hope whosoever happens to stumble upon it is not only entertained but inspired. :)
