Hi! I've been signed up on Amity for over a year now and have been lurking here and there, but haven't posted yet. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my husband, 2.5 year old Miriam and newborn Tobias. I do a lot of crafty stuff, and I've been wishing I knew a group of crafty mamas to share my projects with and to get inspiration from! This seems like such a fun group and your projects are all so awesome.

I've been making dolls of all sizes and shapes for over two years now. I took a Waldorf dollmaking class shortly after my DD was born and never looked back! I've been playing with bendies, 5-6" soft dolls of my own pattern, and nature table dolls. I'm also just plain hooked on wool felt. I made a little needlecase recently and kicked myself when I saw that you did a needlecase swap here!

I also do all kinds of other crafts - from knitting to weaving to - well, you name it, I have a stash for it. I'm a junkie and I admit it. :kittypink Anyway, I hope I can hop in and share some projects and get to know the mamas here!

Hello!!!!!!!
It sounds like you have finally made it to the right place!!!!
Have Fun!!!!!!
