Hey everyone... Dee

Hey everyone, my name is Deidra, but I normally go by Dee to everyone.  So much easier for people to remember.   I've been crafting since I was in single digits too.  Started off learning to cross stitch and branched out from there.  There isn't much that I haven't done, or can't do...knit, crochet, bead, sew, quilt, embroider, tat, etc.

As for knitting...My grandmother taught me the basic knit stitch when I was in my pre-teens.  I put it on the back burner while going through college...not much time to do anything but study at that point. Since then I've made a ton of stuff...sweaters, shawls, afghans, hats, scarves, baby clothes, leg warmers, etc.  I don't really have a lot of pics of the stuff over the years, but I've been trying to be better at that.  

Outside of the crafty world ... I'm a mfg engineer for Ford and I live in SE Michigan...brrr right now.  I am married to a truly wonderful man...but don't tell him I said that.   We've been married for 4 years now, and have been together for about 10.  Through him I have 3 kids (son 26, son 22, daughter 20), a granddaughter 2, and a soon-to-be grandson.  I like to read, listen to books, cook, bake, make candy, swim/work out, and craft of course.  I look forward to getting to know all of you.
