Anyone who follows my other blog (ottermomramblings.blogspot.com) will know that I am a crafter at heart. I always have been, my mother started me out on crafting at a very young age and I'm still at it! I have mentioned quite a bit about crochet, which is probably my main interest, OK it's more of an obsession than an interest. I also love to cook and have a blog devoted to that (ottermomcooking.blogspot.com) and love to experiment. Anybody that is around me for long will hear me say that "measurements don't happen here." It refers to being taught to cook by the world's best, my mom. My crafting follows that credo somewhat, it's fun to trace crochet back to the original stitch for example.
This blog was created with the intent of showcasing my family's crafting, which includes me, Otter (our daughter), and Bill (my husband who is an engineer - engineers are not normal people so consider yourself warned).
We all have varied interests, we all love to take things apart and put them back together (I'm not allowed to take things apart to fix them anymore). We all love to create, make things new & better, and have a lot of fun doing it. This blog will have pictures of various projects as well as instructions and diagrams. I might have links to instruction pages.
While crochet is my preferred art form, we have several other things we do. All 3 of us sew to some extent, Otter repurposes My Little Pony toys and a few other things, we do a lot of painting - not portrait style, tole painting is what I mean. Bill builds things and is currently deeply involved in refurbishing pachinko machines - Japanese pinball. He and Otter both have some drawing skills, hers are very good and she does a lot of it. All three of us love to cook, but cooking will probably not be on this blog much because of the cooking blog I have.
Check back frequently, and I hope you enjoy this.

I am ready to see some pictures. Froggy
There will be pictures! Probably soon. I'll probably post some that have been on the main blog, and they will mostly be crochet but I'll be adding new ones periodically. Bill's still getting his pachinko stuff together, they'll show up on this blog as well.
