Who am I?

Hi, I’m Petrina,

I’m a mum of 2 teenage kids and a dog. I crochet, a lot. Mostly I crochet patterns other people have written, but I hope to start producing my own soon.

I have fibromyalgia, chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. So that’s nice. I started to crochet in early 2014 when we were involved with a very stressful situation regarding my son’s then school. It gave me a release and something to think about that wasn’t connected to the whole ridiculous situation. It helped me stay the right side of sane (I’ll let you decide which side that was). So I have carried on doing it. I have crocheted blankets, key rings, Christmas decorations and all sorts. The rhythm of it is very soothing and helps me be in the moment.

The dog – Bella – is a somewhat newer addition as we acquired her at the end of July. She also seems to have some anxiety and separation worries, so we are helping each other. We are both as daft as brushes and enjoy each others company.

The kids are teenagers, but don’t want me to be writing too much about them on here, so you’ll just have to know that I have 2 kids who are utterly fabulous!

Have fun & keep smiling
