Hi! My name is Fe. I am a filipina from Cebu, Philippines, now living in Goa, India with my husband. I am a Naval Architect by profession. I was working in a ship design office in Singapore for 6 years, but my hands always itch of holding a hook or needles and a yarn at the end of the day. We decided to settle down in Goa, as it is a more advantageous set up for us that I would be staying here for good. I guess, the handmade culture of Goa and India is what makes me appreciate more of the place. I came in the mid of 2015 in Goa. I would say Goans and Indians have a lot of appreciation for handmade things, be it crochet, knit, embroidery, cross-stitch, as they would not hesitate to buy something handmade from me.
Currently, I am a stay at home wife. There aren't a lot of options if I would have to work in my professional field. I thought staying at home would give me more freedom, although not so much of money, but should I say that I have more time to do the things I love to do, which make me think it is now hard to leave Goa.
