Author's Story

I am 54 years old. I have loved knitting and crocheting since my childhood.

I never thought that it would become my favorite hobby and my salvation in difficult times.

18 years ago, in the result of diabetes, I became disabled, practically closed in my four walls.

I haven't gone outside for years, my life flows through the window of my apartment between pain and medication.

That is why manual creative work saves me and gives me hope.

I do my work with great love and a prayer...

I knit with knitting needles and crochet hook. I knit toys, clothes for children and adults, embroider towels and pictures with threads and beads, make angels from ribbons with the Kanzashi method.

I am sincerely grateful to people who order from me, who buy my toys, who support me in difficult times...

All my works are filled with warmth and love, because that's the only way I can create.

When the disease worsens, or I am in the bad mood, I try not to create, I believe that everything made by hands definitely conveys the energy and mood of the master.

Therefore, I am sure that my works will bring only positive vibes to those who receive them.
