A Little About Me...
Hello! My name is Christa. I am a mother of 4 school age children,
wife, homemaker, and avid crochet enthusiast. Thanks so much for stopping by!
I am a prairie girl at heart. Born in a small town in Saskatchewan, Canada, I spent my elementary years in Jasper Alberta, and my high school years in Vancouver British Columbia. I traveled sporadically around Europe in my 20's. Although "Africa" was never on my bucket list, once I made it to Kenya in 2000, I knew my life was going to change!
Kenya was everything I had been looking for - without me even realizing I had been looking! The people are warm and friendly. The culture is modest and old fashioned. The climate is literally perfect. And don't start me on the beaches! Absolutely world class. In 2001 I moved to Kenya with the intention of staying for one year. I met my husband, got married, and have been here ever since!
In 2016 I rented a tent at a local craft fair to raise awareness and income for a local children's Home.
I had put together a few crochet kits - the yarn, hook, and instructions to complete a project.
Surprisingly, most people asked if I could teach them how to crochet instead of following along with instructions and a kit!
The next day I put out a sign saying "Learn to Crochet!", and had a sign up sheet.
Although quite a few people signed up, I assumed they were just being polite and went about my normal life.
