Some of my favourite things (aka recurring blog post topics)
- Amigurumi and tiny plush
- Making my own clothes (mostly with crocheting and knitting, but I also try sewing)
- Crafts of all kinds (mostly with beads and paper, but I also have an affinity for shrink plastic)
- Taking pictures with Diana Mini (as pictured — it was taken with Diana :D)
- Being a tourist in my own city (or nearby cities), especially visiting museums and historical sites (I think I missed my true calling of being a museum docent or a paleontologist, but oh well.)
- Catching the bright things that bring joy to the everyday (even though it looks ridiculous sometimes, as pictured)
- Tea time! (as pictured)
- Finding and admiring mushrooms and fungi (as pictured), but not foraging
- Visiting and admiring llamas and cats, but not petting (if I can help it), because I’m allergic :(
- (Last but not least!) Sharing the joy of crafting :D
I hope you enjoy your visit! Feel free to leave a comment or drop me a note at genuinemudpie[at]gmail[dot]com. I would love to hear from you :)
Best wishes,
Trish

hi spomenka, are you referring to the crochet llama on one of my awesome finds posts? that is indeed an awesome pattern, and it’s created by someone else, which means that i cannot sell the finished product made from it. hope this helps!
Hi Trish..i came across your website by chance and am hooked since then! I have been thinking of trying crochet and other DIY stuff since ages but haven’t been able to. Going through your blog has given me so much inspiration! I LOVE all your projects and can’t wait to try them now!

I love ginkgo leaves (and also mushrooms) and crochet, so that is how I found you. I’ve enjoyed reading your patterns and plan to try some of them. Thank you!
thank you for visiting, Elisa! Happy crocheting! :D
I love your posts trish; I’m not good at crocheting but I’m willing to start putting more effort in to it. You make it look so easy to do. I work a lot but will find time to buy the yarn and get started. Wish me luck, I’ll keep in touch. Thanks

thanks so much for visiting, Brenda! happy crocheting, and i’d love to see the things you make!
Thank you for the toast blanket pattern. I made it for my sister who brings it with her camping. Now I worry she will look like a sandwhich to a bear- but it is bringing her joy. You have great ideas!
Hi Trish, I just came across your “8 bit” top in the C2C section of Gathered.how. I love it! Very original and I hope to give it a try eventually. Looks a bit tricky.
