| Introduction | For six years, I had a quiet life where nothing terribly exciting happened, but nothing terribly bad happened, either. Then there was a surprise pregnancy that turned into a difficult pregnancy that turned into some pretty serious complications. It ended with me in the hospital with a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in my lung) when the baby was five weeks old. One of the worst things about a PE is that it can set off severe anxiety and panic attacks, even in a person who's never had them before. I'd sometimes just curl up in a ball sobbing and scared, for no reason at all. It was a terrible time. In the midst of that, I started crocheting. It was a skill I learned from my great-grandmother as a child and picking it back up was somewhat accidental at first. I was part of a group putting together a Despicable Me display for Halloween and I crocheted some minion hats and a scarf for "Gru". I realized that crocheting helped my stress and anxiety levels. I began crocheting like a madwoman and quickly started getting requests from people to make them things. I began my business, Toluver's Creations, soon after. |
