Belinda's enchanting journey into the world of crochet began in her tender years. Under the watchful eyes and patient hands of her mom and grandmother, she and her cousin were introduced to the art of crochet. The neighborhood road was their backdrop, where sitting in a quiet ditch, they'd let their imaginations and hands weave stories with yarn. Among her earliest masterpieces were the afghans, vibrant and warm, that draped elegantly over the family couch. Each stitch was a testament to her growing passion and skill.

Fast forward four decades, and the flame of Belinda's love for crochet remains undiminished. Just in the past year, she's embarked on numerous projects, crafting more than ten afghans for family and friends. Baby gifts, Christmas presents, and countless other creations have found their way from her nimble fingers to the hearts of their recipients. Every piece she creates is not merely an item, but a challenge undertaken, a new story woven, a gift imbued with love and dedication.

A serendipitous encounter with a Crochetree ad on Facebook led her into a new avenue of crochet adventures. The intricate designs and lovable characters beckoned her, and before long, she had brought to life the delightful Hannah doll. With excitement in her heart, she's now journeying through the creation of Melissa. 

Each doll is more than just a project for Belinda; it's a cherished gift for her granddaughters, one she hopes they'll treasure. In her eyes, these dolls aren’t just toys but symbols of a rich family tradition, an embodiment of love, and a continuation of the crochet legacy she began all those years ago sitting by the road.
