Prologue

Welcome to A Little Mouse's Crochet!

 

When I was young, I played dolls as girls do. Most of their clothes were made by my grandmother. Amazingly, she created small stockings for dolls from real stockings which had been laddered. She was a creator and used to be good at dressmaking. She sewed cloths and Japanese summer kimono, and also she has an instructor's certificate for Japanese traditional paper dolls. She created clothes, bags and many things for us. It was so natural to create something for me. She bought me a sewing machine, when I was teenager. She wanted me to go dressmakers' school. If I had learned dressmaking, I would have been a designer :) Well, I couldn't comply with her wish, but I still love to create something. I often pop in crafting shops and charity shops to check 'the bargain items'. If there are nice ribbons, fabrics, yarns, buttons, beads and so on at a discount or leftover items, I get them. It's really fun to think and decide what to make next, using these items from my junk-ish treasure box. It's like a puzzle pieces to fit together. I love to see Cinderella-like transformation:) It's my grandmother's way.
