Starting Crafting.

My beginning of crafting started from the idea of making hair accessories to my daughters as i am spending long time searching for nice things at shops and online. so i thought why not i start creating items of my style. hence i started searching online for how to make hair accessories. i started with ribbon hair pin then moved to felt headband. now i am trying to learn more about fabric flowers and polymer clay arts.

Here i would like to share with you what i am creating and would like really to hear your comments as this will give an idea of what other crafters/people think of my products.
