Hello and welcome to Handmade By Donna
My Name is Donna and I love being creative.
I have always been interested in Craft, growing up, both sides of my grandparents were crafty. I was introduced to sewing, knitting, drawing and painting at a very young age. My first attempt at craft was when my Nan taught me how to knit and I would make clothes for my dolls, which then led me to embroidery and cross stitching.
Then my mum introduced me to scrapbooking and the wonderful world of papercraft. I love journaling and documenting memories. I have been making Greeting Cards since 2008.
In 2010 I taught myself how to Crochet with the subscription magazines 'Art of Crochet' It was the best decision I have made in crafting. I haven't stopped crocheting since. I love how quickly you can make something out of yarn.
Being Crafty helps with another passion of mine. I love to upcycle and recycle. I don't like to throw anything away (if I can help it). There is a meme somewhere about Crafters are Hoarders. Yes, I agree some of us are. I Love to Fix and Make things, like the BBC show Money for Nothing.
On this little space on the internet, I will share a variety of my craft projects, whether that's an upcycle, papercraft or a needlecraft project. With the occasional product review. Which I will promise to give my honest opinion.
Thank you for taking the time to read about me.
I hope you enjoy my blog and I inspire you to get creative.
