I’m a happy, enthusiastic homemaker driven by an earnest desire to contribute my best to the world by doing little things with great love. I divide my free time between crocheting, gardening, reading and engaging in philanthropic activities. It’s my creativity that fills my life with positivity. I have been part of many national and global crocheting events. And my highest achievement was winning the Guiness world record for participating and crocheting world’s largest crochet blanket measuring 11,148.5 mt. squares.
