Who is Dee?

I like to say I am "Dee. All of the Above!" because I do a little bit of everything. In addition to being a Crochet Artist, I am a Christian, Educator (certified), Skater, Gardener, Mother, Daughter, Sister, Friend, and overall lover of all things crafts! I'm also known to dance without music and sing when I talk. lol I enjoy learning, so once I get into something, I want to learn as much about it as possible! So once I got into crochet, it became a part of my daily habits and eventually, my livelihood. 

THYS is so cheesy. Why from the heart?

From the heart is truly how I operate. I'm a proud cornball and with crocheting, it's no different. I believe our gifts are meant to bless others so I do my best to keep THYS in mind with every order, project, gift, and lesson. Although THYS is a business (whoop whoop), there's a great amount of reward that comes in passing the art of crochet on to customers who receive custom items, creating new crocheters through teaching, and of course, sowing into the community through efforts such as our Day of Crochet drive for the homeless.  Just trying to spread love in these streets one stitch at a time. :)

 How did you get into crocheting?

Honestly, I needed something to do while I was on the train during my commutes to and from work. My grandmother and mother crocheted but it was one of the few crafts I had not yet gotten into. In 2014, however, I happened to see a friend posting about it online and decided to give it a try and I've been hooked ever since!! (haha see what I did there?) The train is also where I first started teaching crochet as people would sit down next to me and ask if they could learn! When I think about it, it's my first #crochetingwhile adventure as well! 

Why do you crochet everywhere?

I can't help it!! haha I've never been great at staying still so crocheting on the go has become my norm. It's gotten to the point that if I'm not crocheting at an event, my friends/family are concerned. lol I thoroughly enjoy the art of crocheting but I also like walking, skating, swimming, and climbing trees while spending time with my peoples. I decided early on that I could do both: Keep an active lifestyle while also building my craft! It's also a great way for people to learn about crocheting and develop their own interests as well!
