Hello Everyone!

Welcome to my blog!  I decided to start a blog, mainly devoted to my love of do-it-yourself and crafty goodness.  I am the owner of an Etsy shop called Lost Mitten (http://lostmitten.etsy.com).  I'd like to use this space to feature crafts that I have made for my shop, things that I have purchased in other shops (or would like to purchase!), or things that I have made for either myself or my fiancé, Paul.  I tend to make a lot of things for us first, which end up translating into items that I have later in my shop, so all of the items that you might find in my shop you would also find around our place!

We are in love with video games, especially all things Nintendo.  We still play our original NES and SNES on a regular basis, as well as games on the Nintendo Wii.  Right now, we're quite involved with the new Super Paper Mario game, it's great fun!  So, lots of things that I make relate to video games in all of their pixelated glory.

I also love to knit - mittens, scarves, hats, bags, sweaters - you name it!  I'm also in the process of teaching myself how to crochet, but I'm very partial to knitting right now since I know it best! 

Anyway, I'm sure this will be a lot of fun and I look forward to meeting other like-minded crafters on here!  :)
