Create, Dream, Inspire

Hi Guys and welcome to my Blog! Create, Dream & Inspire (yvonnemetz.com) My name is Yvonne and I’m the one behind the yarn, hook and anything crafty I can get my hands on!

I’ve loved crafts ever since I can remember!

My Mom taught me to crochet at the age of 11/12. Learned a chevron style pattern (I had no idea what stitches I was doing) I only new how to do it. So  I taught myself to read patterns with a “Teach yourself to Crochet Book” at the age of 24. This was before “YouTube”! LOL!  After YouTube & Facebook my crocheting just got better from there! I’ve been a pattern tester for many years and LOVE to test patterns and step out of my comfort zone and try  new things!  It’s how I found the LOVE Amigurumi! I just LOVE Doll/Animal making and plan to do much more it!  

I don’t consider myself a Designer but have created a few patterns of  my own that I have shared for free here and in a few FB Groups that I’m in.  I started selling my crochet items on Etsy a while back and have recently been accepted to sell on Amazon Handmade. I’m also in the process of building my own Website.  2020 is my year to focus 100% on my Crafty Business!

I was introduced to the art of Rubber Stamping in 2002 and Oh the things you can do with Ink, Paper and Glitter…..(I have another Blog for this)

I’m a proud Nana to my Grandson Niko (3) and my Granddaughter Alana (1.5) to say that I LOVE being a Nana just doesn’t seem to be enough! These 2 completely melt my heart and they know it! 

If you’d like to know anything else about  me just ask! I enjoy teaching and sharing things here with you all!
