me, myself and my projects


I want to start off my blog by introducing myself and my work. Please stay tuned, I will be posting pictures of my finger less gloves very soon. 

My projects: After my regular work hours, I love to relax my body and mind as well as utilize that time to work on creative and useful projects for my family and friends. Knitting has  become one of my all time favorite hobbies lately. I first started making colorful finger-less gloves and headbands as gifts for my friends and their children. They gave me great compliments! My neighbors and coworkers would see me knitting during my spare time and were also very impressed with my work. They even suggested that I start selling them. So I decided to go ahead and give it a shot and so far I've sold quite a few! 
I would love to thank my husband who came up with the name "Busy Fingers" for my projects, and my daughter who helped me by creating this blog; thank God she is a web developer and much better at these things than I am :)

Myself: I recently turned 50 and apart from knitting I enjoy reading very much. Reading is my other source of comfort after a long day of work, and helps me broaden my mind and knowledge. I believe that I am helping my brain to become stronger by stimulating it with interesting reading materials. At my age, knitting and reading cause my eyes to become very tired so I make sure to take a lot of breaks and head to the nearby gym known as "Quantom Fitness". I have been trying very hard to exercise for about an hour twice a week. 

I believe that we are all born with many abilities, we just need to find them by trying things out.
