About Connie Lee

I've been crafting in one way or another since my mother first allowed me to use scissors. Paper dolls, noodle art, perler bead fridge magnets, and popsicle stick art were just a few of my early favorites. When I got a little older, I took up drawing, a little acrylic painting, and with the help of one of my friend's mother, cross stitching, which I absolutely loved. My grandmother taught me how to make jewelry using the same technique she uses to make rosaries and when I was about twelve, my mother made me learn to crochet, which I hated because she had me make a doily, which I saw absolutely no point in. Through high school and college, I found little to no time for crafts of any sort, unfortunately, but after an eleven month deployment with the Army to Kuwait, I realized that I missed it quite a bit. I relearned how to crochet upon my return and did a few custom pieces of jewelry as well, but it wasn't until after I got married in May of 2009 that I really began to get back to my creative roots. Thanks to my wonderful husband, who is amazingly supportive of my attempt at becoming a starving artist, I have once again fully embraced my love of creating with my hands, primarily in the form of fiber arts. I spend most of my time crocheting (around the housework and whatnot), primarily custom orders and special projects, and have recently discovered the joys of designing my own patterns, which I hope to be the next chapter in my creative journey.

All right, the black ones were the prototype. Here’s what it looks like in gray! To match the originals, of course:

I crocheted today. Finally.

I’ve been so busy with my Mary Kay business that I’ve been slacking on the crocheting - which kind of leaves me feeling incomplete. DH had the day off, though, so we went to the outlets for a little shopping and I brought my crocheting along for the ride! I made a pair of baby slippers that will later be transformed into Coach flats inspired baby slippers for a very special friend of mine. I just need to find the right ribbon and bling to finish them off. ;)
