About

Hi! I’m Krystal, a crafter from Australia. 

I started this blog in the hopes of giving back as a thank you to everyone who shares their own ideas on the internet. I have researched so many ideas, seen photos of so much inspiration, found helpful advice and DIY tutorials that in return I hope to help others who visit my blog. 

I was lucky enough to grow up with lots of opportunities to try out new crafts. I inherited my craftiness from my mum and grandma and have always been taught, encouraged and given opportunities to try new things. 

I have a wonderful husband, Ray who I married in November 2010. Luckily Ray didn’t mind all the little things I just had to make for the wedding myself. I continuously made changes and tried new things – I’m sure I would have kept coming up with new ideas but there had to be a point where I stopped trying out new projects and had to focus on what I had already started. 

We also had a beautiful baby girl in 2021, she is the reason I now sew whenever I get the chance, hopefully she loves handmade clothes as she grows up!

My favourite craft is pyrography and I started a MadeIt store to sell my finished pieces as I'm sure our family and friends have received plenty of cutting boards and spoons as gifts! 

Other than crafting I am an animal lover. We have two cats - Smudge who is naughty, playful and very vocal, and Chaos who is a little bit crazy, a scaredy cat, loves showers and thinks biting is a great way to show affection! Then there is our dog named Archie who is basically an overgrown puppy, we're not sure if he is ever going to grow up!  We also have our fish, chickens, and a snake.
