Hello

Thank you so much for visiting me, it's lovely to see you.

My name is Gina aka DarnLoopy, I was born in Hungary, and I moved to England in 2010 to live with my fiancee.

We live in a semi-detached house in the North-West of England, and here I spend my days decorating, cooking, crafting and gardening.

I love crafts, of which my favourite is crochet and knitting. I was taught it as a young child by my Grandmother, but just the basics which had been forgotten by myself for so long. When I moved to the United Kingdom a new world opened up before me with lots of craft stores being available here. Still, today if I'm in a craft store I feel like Alice in Wonderland and can get lost for hours. One of my visits made me remember that I once knew how to crochet, so I self-taught myself again with the help of the internet. My favourite items to crochet are stuffed animals called amigurumi and baby items, mostly little shoes.




Amigurumi (編みぐるみ?, lit. crocheted or knitted stuffed toy) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll.[1] Amigurumi are typically animals but can include artistic renderings or inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features,[2] as is typical in Japanese culture.


I love to create different things that make me warm and fuzzy inside, and smile on the outside! =)
