Crafty Kat: 2025

Welcome to my blog! If you enjoy arts and crafts, dolls, needle work...relax and stay awhile!

Welcome to my blog

If you enjoy finding a lot of different outlets for your creativity, then we may just be kindred spirits.

This blog is an outlet for my interest in miniatures, crochet, plastic canvas, and many other various arts and crafts.

I also love walking, taking digital photos, and most recently, have rediscovered an old love...bike riding! I purchased an amazing new bike, a comfy Townie by Electra this summer, and have been having a grand time exploring the area as though for the first time. It's like being a kid again!

If you enjoy any of these things too, pour a cup of coffee and tea, sit down, and join me.

Take care!

About Me

Kat: Hi, and welcome to my blog. I love new things, so my interests change, a lot, lol. Some things stay the same though; I've loved to crochet for over 30 years and that hasn't stopped. I love animals and nature. Arts and crafts. Technology, and gaming...and have just discovered virtual reality and am blown away! I am interested in low carb and keto recipes, and have a new instant pot that I am learning how to use. In the summer I spend hours and hours riding my bike, walking, and swimming, but in winter I just want to stay indoors and crochet while watching Netflix, lol. Grab a cup of coffee or tea and join me if you'd like. Don't forget to comment. I'll do my best to respond (I don't always get notifications).
