curtsay designs:
Hey ya’ll, I’m Lindsay! I’m married to my handsome computer geek, a mother of 2 smiley blonde boys, and a lover of all things crafty. Growing up as a dancer, I always had a way to feel artsy and creative. Then as a stay at home mom, I began to feel desperate for a new creative outlet. About 2 years ago, I taught myself to crochet and have been “hooked” ever since. Enter, Curtsay Designs, a mish-mash of mine and my husband’s names, but also an homage to my first love, dance. It keeps me from idly staring at the computer during nap time, while I catch up on my shows (umm, Downton Abbey, anyone?). It tests my mind as I come up with new patterns, and it just plain makes me happy! I love making crochet patterns for all things baby, and once in a while a little fun for the moms too.
