Hello Dear friend (or so I hope 😊🤞)!!! My name is Payton Lake, the creative behind Create Obsession. My journey with an online presence crocheting began back in 2021 when I posted a Chunky Crochet blanket pattern on YouTube. Though I have long dabbled in crocheting since I was about 10 years old, I didn’t consider pursuing it as a serious hobby until my video continued to gain momentum, and I could no longer pretend my Husband & Brother were watching it more than 30 times every week combined. And maybe that’s you who watched it and piqued my interest that I might have something worth sharing!
I began the dive back into the crafting community incorporating more crochet into my weekly basis, creating new patterns and added sewing to my list of to-do’s, plus shopping for fabric and yarn, and then shopping for more fabric and yarn. Because who has enough fabric or yarn?! 😂 Anyways – I digress…
My creative outlet became a slight obsession and now this website hosts more of my journey on and forward. Though I’m constantly finding new ways to express my creativity, crocheting has easily become one of my favorites. Since entering back into the land of hobbies, I’ve crocheted blankets, bags, amigurumi – oh so much amigurumi, and I’m currently working on some cool projects I’m excited to share! I’ve sewn clothes for myself and my husband and quilted a few blankets! I’m honestly not sure how much overlap my sewing journey will have with my crochet much in the future as I love both dearly. Crocheting just ended up being much easier to manage around two toddlers who love to help me out! Plus you all seemed interested in the videos and that really encouraged me to keep going (And also my Husband in the background who kept saying to “Keep going!”and “Don’t give up!”😂)!
Did I mention I’m a stay at home mom?! Well, that does keep me quite busy these days. So when I’m not crocheting, I’m being a mom, or cleaning, listening to a good book, watching other awesome creatives on YouTube/Tiktok, or watching videos about how to beef up my gardening game! 4 years and running for the garden this year which keeps me quite entertained in the Summer as I love watching the sky and looking at how plants grow over the days. Plus, you get to eat the fruit and vegetables, and I love food! So that’s a no brainer for me.
If you thought while reading any of this you’d love to be friends, then by all means consider us friends! I look forward to having you around and can’t wait to share more creative ideas with you!
So Sincerely and with Much Love💕,
Payton Lake
P.s. Shout out to Vinh, my Husband, for creating an awesome website!
