What do you create?
At the moment I’m keen on making flower brooches – head pins, but I also crochet different jewellery, skirts and knit scarves for my Etsy shop. For my family and myself I knit sweaters, scarves, hats, socks, skirts etc.
How did craft came into your life?
My grandmother together with my mom thought me the basics of knitting and crocheting. And I was so fascinated, that how long I can remember I’ve always crafted – knitted, crocheted, sewed embroidered – constantly improving my skills and learning something new.
When you`re not creating what do you do?
I have day job and my free time is filled with care about my family and household. I’ve three years old daughter. We have little flower and vegetable garden which takes up much time. However seldom is the day when I don’t take up my craft 
)
What inspires you?
I’m inspired by beautiful things, seeing other crafters’ work inspires me too. I’m also inspired by the process of creation itself, because I never know what the end result will be like. I like nature very much! It helps to organize oneself and inspires a lot!
What are your favourite materials and techniques?
It depends on the item I want to make. I like natural materials – linen, cotton. For knitting I use yarns from different materials, colour and texture play bigger role here. During summer I crochet more, but when it gets cooler I start to knit.

What do you create?
I am very eclectic lately. I do saw, bead, knit, crochet and have fun mixing techniques. You can find beadwoven and beaded jewelry, bags and pouches, corsets and pincushions in my etsy shop.
How did craft came into your life?
When I was younger, I liked to draw a lot. Then somehow I started to turn my drawings into real things. I was amazed by giving second experience chance to things that are worn out and forgotten. Upcycling, recycling, renewing and using pieces in different ways. Then came sawing, fashion design studies, and my last obsession – beading.
When you’re not creating, what do you do?
I have two kids – superhero and red riding hood, and I spend all the time with them and family. Love country, peaceful garden works.
What inspires you?
Mostly – love.
