About Dacia

I always hate doing about me's lol I feel stupid or I am being pretentious. So here goes...
I have been doing crafts since I was in the Girl Scouts. Which was a million years ago or at least that is how it feels. The Girl Scouts taught me a lot one is I love crafts and the other is I am not a camper unless it involves a cabin with plumbing. My mom and Grandma's taught me as well.

Crafts I know how to do:
Cross Stitch (30+ years)
Quilting
Knitting (my Mimi tried to teach me but it was not until a few years ago I figured it out my way.)
Crochet (uhm not good at all lol)
Sewing
Soap Making
Natural Beauty Products like oils and lotions
Weaving
Some Wood Working
Redoing Furniture
Papercrafts
Cards
Cricut is a wonderful machine for cutting my fabric on and also for cutting out pieces for cards or flowers.

Crafts I want to learn:
Upholstery
Making Doll Houses
Making Miniatures
Making Doll Furniture
Weaving on a Huge Loom
Stain Glass
I also want to own an old house and redo it into a home.


Non Crafty Things About Me:
I love my menagerie as I call my 6 cats, 1 dog and 1 human son. All of the animals have been rescues and 5 of the cats were hand raised 1 from a new born (literally a few hours old when Doozie my dog found her).

TV: True crime, mysteries and British tv as well.
Read: Cozy mysteries, some romance, history, craft, cooking and baking.
Music: Depends on my mood.
Sports: Hockey and Soccer/Football
Games: Pokemon, Sims 4, Stardew Valley, Oblivion, Fallout New Vegas



I am hoping to have a website soon to sell my crafts.

Feel free to take a look around and add it to your favs. It is okay if you do neither, as I never want someone to do what they do not want to do...unless it is one of my future kids...lol 😉

I hope you enjoy this site as much as we love crafting.

Sending nothing but the best to all of you!
