Hallo dear Reader. My name is Sonette Bosch. I grew up in the arts and crafts environment from a very young age. My father was a painter and he did some oil paintings that is still hanging in my home. His a Carpenter of profession and he always had plenty of scraps wood and come Christmas or someone's Birthday comming up, he would then make gifts from the scraps of wood. My mother was a Business Woman but was a gifted seamstress and made all our clothes and later in years she started doing woodcarving as a hobby, drawing her own designs and even giving classes. Her woodcarving pieces went as far as Canada. I was born with a natural gift for arts and crafts, drawing and designing from a very young age. Where other children would like to read story books, I would read books on how to make something. It never stopped and I still look for ways to make use of the things around me and turn it in to something I can use or give as a gift. As arts and crafts is my passion, I want to share my knowledge with people that want to start a hobby or just want to share their experience with us.
