Jet of the Day - Fully Hooked

In my past life, I was an English regency aristocrat, a figure straight from Jane Austen's novels.. I wore corsets, lace and frills, and adorned myself with pearls and flowers. I was a romantic through and through, your classic damsel...

What's in a name?  Fully Hooked

About three years ago, we had just moved to a new base and I was in desperate need of new Mommy-friends. I was lucky enough to live next to a young mother who also loved to crochet. I learned to crochet when I was 7, but it wasn't until my second, and youngest child was born that I picked it up again with all the enthusiasm I can muster. 

 

I have boxes and boxes of yarn and supplies! Anyway, I was very excited to have a neighbor that I can share my Friday nights with. Then a couple of months later, a new family moved in down the street and I invited the wife to join us on Friday Night/Crochet Night, but she brought her beads and jewelry findings instead because all her yarn were still boxed. This was it, I was hooked on jewelry-making from then on! By the following week, I had all the starter supplies any aspiring jewelry designer needed, and have been hoarding beads since. I learned what I know on my own, and through fantastic mentors here on Etsy and the JETS.

I live and love passionately, and once I'm hooked, I'm FULLY HOOKED.

It's been a journey of artistic expression and self-discovery and Fully Hooked  provides me the balance and peace that I need. It's my therapy after a long week of work, kids and deployed husband.
Eventually I'd like to reintroduce my crocheted items, but crochet is something I reserve for those times it's impractical to pack my beads and tools along.

Thank you for reading!
