I like designing fun hats, animal hats that look realistic and newborn photo props.

4 How do you jump-start your creativity?

I haven't really had to yet, but I think I would search the Internet for ideas, watch documentaries about animals with my son, get inspired by nature, etc...

5 What season inspires you the most?

I love summer but I guess fall inspires me the most because of the beautiful colors.

It is my first year designing, and I think I designed at least 50 or more.

7 Is there another craft you'd like to try your hand at?

Kanzashi ornaments/flowers, macrame, and quilting if I ever find time.

A walk in the park with my family, a cup of tea with a friend or watching a favorite show while doing a crochet project.

9 What three items do you always have in your craft bag?

Way more than three, but if I have to limit it would be: a skein of yarn, a hook and scissors
