I learned how to crochet as a little girl, sitting with my mother while she showed me the basics—how yarn could turn into something useful, something comforting. I loved it then, but like many things in life, crochet didn’t stay with me continuously. Over time, it drifted quietly into the background.

Years later—five, to be exact—a crochet hook mysteriously appeared at my back door. I picked it up without much thought, and that small moment reopened something I didn’t realize I had been missing. Crochet came back into my life and, this time, it stayed. What began as a simple return to a familiar craft grew into a deep, steady passion and a true creative home for me. That was until…

Life asked me to slow down in an unexpected way. An injury left my hand and wrist in a cast for six weeks—bright pink, with a heart drawn on it as a reminder to stay hopeful. I wasn't supposed to crochet during that time, but I could still dream, plan, and imagine what I wanted this space to become. That pause strengthened my resolve and deepened my appreciation for the work I love.

Alongside crafting, gaming has always been part of my story too. When my children were little, I played The Legend of Zelda, and I still remember the pride on their faces when I finished the game wearing the white clothes. For a brief and glorious moment, I was their gaming hero—and that mix of creativity, play, and perseverance has followed me ever since.

Today, A Game A Head is where all of that comes together: handmade work rooted in tradition, shaped by patience, and inspired by the joy of creating something meaningful. Every piece I make carries a bit of that journey with it, and I’m so glad you’re here to share it with me.
