All About Oombawka Design
Oombawka Designย was created as a way for me to share my crochet projects with my friends and family. Initially, I was crocheting and selling little stuffed toys.
The name โOombawkaโ, came from a word my daughter used for a little toy I was crocheting at the time โ the Mini Meows (or Little Oombawkas).
My daughter (who wasย almost 3 years old then)ย called them her โOombawkasโ โ so when I was trying to decide what to call my blog I choseย Oombawkaย because I was pretty sure no one else in the world had ever used the word before and because there was a personal meaning to me. You can read my full story here: About Me 2017ย
Oombawka Design began in 2013. My hobby has become my full-time job and I love every single moment of it.ย ย Crochet is my ‘happy place’ and being able to share my designs with you and helping you to learn how to crochet makes me happy.ย
I hope to be able to continue blogging and sharing my designs with you for years to come.
