Hi, My name is Emma and I blog about all things crochet at How to Crochet a Heart
Tell us a bit about you:
As a young girl I was very crafty. I knitted and embroided, and learnt to crochet when my Grandmother came to stay with us. After school I got a diploma in Fine Art and an Advanced Diploma in Art Photography and Printmaking. Fast forward a few years and I became a mother to three boys. I rediscovered my love of craft and became a little obsessed with crochet! I live in Sydney Australia, but love being in contact with crafters all around the world.
How did you decide on the name for your blog\shop?
I had another blog before I started this one, a family blog with milestones and updates. I reached a point where I felt that blog had come to an end. I still wanted to blog, and thought about a crochet blog. The name just came to me! I initially had the idea of compiling many different heart patterns, but it has become so much more! My shop name doesn't have a great story. Emma Lovepie. I was thinking along the lines of something cute like 'sweetie-pie' but wanted my name in there too.
I've been blogging for almost 4 years. This blog has been around since July 2012. My Etsy shop has been open for just over a year now.
What is your favourite item\pattern on\in your blog\shop at the moment that you would like to talk about?
The Heart Granny Square is one I am most proud of. Mollie Makes' blog featured the pattern at Valentine's Day this year, which was a big deal to me! You can find the pattern here: http://www.molliemakes.com/projects/how-to-make-a-crochet-heart-granny-square/
My Mother and Grandmother were both huge influences. They are always making something. I find I have to keep myself busy. When my boys were very young and sleeping half the day, I found myself playing a lot of suduko and farmville. I finally put that need to keep busy to good use when I picked up my crochet hooks again.
Thank you ever so much Emma1
I love your hearts!
I'll hope you'll all join me in thanking Emma & visit all her sites!
