About me

Welcome to my blog, a tiny corner of the net, where I would like to share my creations and thoughts. 

My name is Marika. My nationality is Hungarian but was born in the former Czechoslovakia and now I live in Canada.

I am a single mom to two beautiful children. Just after my daughter was born over 2 years ago, I have decided that I needed to learn something new and challenging. I love to read but with my baby crying a lot and me not sleeping enough, I could not concentrate on the book I was reading and kept having to go back pages a re-read them. I needed something I could put down and pick up again later and I would not be lost, could just pick up and continue where I have left it off.

So the idea was born - learn to crochet. With the help of the internet - videos and crochet websites; and the library where I was able to find books, I learned to crochet. Through many trials and errors I made a little hat for my baby girl and I was very proud of it! It was not perfect as I had not mastered the art of pattern reading yet, but it did fit her head and I was very proud. She looked beautiful in it but I still wanted to make her the perfect one. Now, over two years later, she has many hats and still asks for more :). 

Being able to create something beautiful and wearable makes me very happy and I am constantly looking for new patterns and ideas.
