The Creative Behind A More Crafty Life Crochet
Hi, My name is Heather Hamlin. Being creative is a large part of my life. I love to make stuff, all kinds from sewing quilts, crafts, recipes, to painting pictures and more.
I am married and I have 1 girl. She was our wonderful surprise just after my 40th birthday.
Making things has always been a love from cooking, to painting, to crafting. My mom and I attended local craft fairs. I watched all the artisans and thought I wanted to do that one day. I did crafts and needlework with my mom and painting and cooking with my grandmother as a child.
I earned a degree in French and Graphic Design after studio arts and a year in France. I pursued graphic design through 2 newspapers. Then after a move, I went back to school for an elementary teaching degree. In 2009, my mom and I started our Etsy business and we went full time in 2011 after I left teaching.
In 2017, I started blogging full time and left my Etsy business in 2021 to create crochet patterns and crafts for kids full time.
I also blog about kids crafts on A Crafty Life. There are free printables and lots of fun craft ideas for toddlers to older kids.
My newest craft is making fun and colorful items in resin.
Current Endeavor – Crochet & Craft Blogger
Now, I am living the dream. I get to create and work from home on the beautiful coast of Maine. I do all the pattern writing, editing and photography for my site. I also handle all of the advertising, SEO, and other blogging activities.
