My name is Elena and I'm an avid crafter. Most of the things I like to do is crochet and knitting. However, I'm going to start working on making Little Annie dolls.
I am a stay-at-home mother of 3. My twin sons both have sensory intergration disorder and are Autistic. My goal in life is to show my children all the wonderful things they can make and to appricate everything that God has to offer them.
You may be wondering why I chose the name of my blog to be Little Annie-Beth's World. Well, to be totally honest, Annie-Beth is named after my late grandmother, Anna Elizabeth. My grandmother was also a crafter. Her favorite things to make were baby blankets and outfits for all of the grandchildren born into the family. Now, my grandmother had 12 children, so there were LOTS AND LOTS of babies born into our family. So, she was a master at the crochet craft. Not to mention all of the cute things she would make for myself and one of my cousins that lived with her.
It is because of her that I took up crochet and the reason why I thirst for learning how to use all sorts of things to make crafts. Most of the time, I make things for my children or give them as gifts to teachers, family and friends. I like to show people that because they matter to me, I took my time to pour my love into the little gift that I handmade just for them.
Being a mother of twins that have disabilities is challenging at times, but I wouldn't trade a second of my life with them. My daughter still tries to understand why they are different from everyone else, but she is very bright and talente. She has the creative bug inside of her as well. So, I'm hoping that she would be willing to sit down long enough to teach her all that I know.
My crafts are very important to me. It's my release from any and all stress of our daily life. Making things to sell is my new mission. Not just for the economic side, but because I have a lot to offer with my work and sharing that with others is something that helps me get smiles that I know makes others happy. That is how I feel God wants me to live my life.
This blog is a work in progress and I'm learning more and more every day as to how to make this work. So, please bare with me. I love meeting new people and would love to make lots of new friends. Over time, I will be adding pictures of my work and updating what is in the works and where I will be selling my items. In the near future, I plan on having my own website to sell, but am always open to taking commission work, when requested.
I sincerely thank you for reading this and I hope that you will continue to come back and see what Little Annie-Beth's World is creating.
Grandma.... This is for you!!!! With ALL my love!!!!
Lots of hugs,
Elena
