About Me
Hi! Thanks for visiting my little piece of web-space.
My name is Jhoanna and I’m a Mama to two little girls who are my joy and inspiration. I have always been interested in arts and craft, trying an assortment of things from painting/sketching to home decorative crafts in order to keep my creative itch content. Usually, my weekdays are spent working as an IT Analyst in Melbourne, Australia.
I enjoy the process of making things as much as seeing the completed creation. Being a working Mum, I don’t have much spare time to devote to craft so everything I do create is made with lots of love, care and joy. I’ve discovered a real passion for fabric and surface design more recently, so I’m making mostly soft toys and dolls (softies/plush), with a bit of artwork and pattern-design thrown in.
One of my goals in maintaining this blog is to motivate me to try new craft projects and actually see them through to completion (I have a tendency to start but hardly ever manage to finish a project because I’m suddenly focused on something else!). So in a way it’s here to keep me accountable and it’s also meant to act like an online scrapbook of all the lovely things I find on the Net that inspire me to keep those creative juices flowing.
I’ve been greatly inspired by many of the crafty blogs that are on the Net at the moment - they are included in my Links section, so make sure you check them out and I hope they inspire you to scratch that crafty itch as well!
