This past year i have been in a government sponsered profession-rehabilitation program, that helped me get away from my previous profession and find a new one, one that is compatible with my health issues. I made a total of 6 owls for all the 6 different workers there, who helped and assisted me this whole time. Only 5 in the photo because one of the workers went on pension last week, so i gave him his owl earlier!

Im extremely grateful for their help and hope to stay in their memory by gifting them these handmade presents. gonna gift them this friday, on my last day, i cant wait!!! (also im starting the re-education for my new future profession next monday (geotechnician/surveyor), cant wait!!)

ive been a proud hooker for about 3 or 4 years now i think. I am a person of hobbies. Hobbies are literally my life. without hobbies, life isnt worth living imo. I am curious about almost everything, and sometimes this obsessive phase of exploring a new hobby is triggered within me. One day, knitting got me really curious, so i tried it. managed to get the basics, made a scarf and some rectangles, but was irked by the fact that you cant knit as freely as i wanted, it was always row for row...and fixing mistakes was sooo hard!

then i somehow stumbled upon crochet, and instantly fell in love.being able to crochet in any direction, change colours on the fly...freestyle to my hearts content, it was GLORIOUS. I am a really slow learner though, and it took me foreeeever to 'get' how to crochet. i thought i would never be able to craft amigurumi, my favourite discipline within crochet. Counting stitches sounded too tedious!! i stayed with rectangular pieces for a while, basic granny swuares ( made a granny square with a 1.5meter diameter for my mum for xmas), then studied how to crochet in the round, figuring out stich markers and whatnot.

Nowadays i can proudly say im an advanced level crocheter, and my favourite thing to do is amigurumi! i can freestyle but prefer to follow patterns, and my craziest project was a 40cm big doll for my mums 52nd birthday, with a copper wire skeleton inside to make it posable and everything! The pattern is from CAROcreated on etsy, and instead of a cello i made a violin, since my mum used to play the violin in music school!!
