st : stitch [ any kind os stitch ]

Hi everybody,
This my blog that i just created to post my work on , I'm a new Mom who start crocheting and knitting a while ago, once i got pregnant i had a lot of time and difficulty of movement , so I start to crochet for family and friends ...
I enjoy designing baby clothes and blankets , I've made plenty of them for my own little angel .
hope you enjoy my work and find the quality you looking for :)
