Do you have a toxic person in your life? You know the type, to everyone else they are super nice, they'll do anything for anyone. A real salt of the earth type.<br />
The reality is somewhat different. Sly little digs when no one is around/listening that chip away at your confidence, Chip, chip, chip.<br />
As you can tell I have. It's funny how one person can do that to you, how the nasty little comments manage to ruin and suck the joy out of things you enjoy.<br />
<br />
<br />
I used to run a mildly successful crochet blog. (It's still going actually)<br />
It used to be my happy place. My mind was full of ideas, and I couldn't wait to post and show what I had made, or what I was going to make next. I spent hours writing patterns and taking photos so that like minded folks could make pretty things too.<br />
I was even in a magazine! I was so proud!<br />
<br />
Then came my toxic person.This person found out about my blog, and although they couldn't post anything I knew that they were there judging. Said person would use my blogs Facebook page to post personal things VERY personal things. I didn't have the freedom to be myself.<br />
I stopped posting, I stopped making, my creativity was gone. It took a year.<br />
Chip, chip, chip.<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago something changed, A shift it my thinking perhaps?<br />
I CAN START AGAIN!! And so phobicmango was born. The toxic person will NEVER know about this blog!<br />

<br />
Well hello there, thank you for taking the time to pop by.<br />
My name is Mango and I live just outside a small village in the south of England.<br />
I live with my husband, nearly grown up son and our dog Willow.<br />
My life is pretty chaotic. Time is divided between family, running our business and working part time on a campsite.<br />
I still manage to make time for <span style="color: red;">c</span><span style="color: lime;">o</span><span style="color: cyan;">l</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: orange;">o</span><span style="color: purple;">u</span><span style="color: magenta;">r</span>!</span><br />

<br />I taught myself to crochet using Youtube and manky yellow wool. I'm now starting to learn to knit.<br />
My posts will be a mix of crochet, knitting, and anything I think is pretty!<br />
<br />
Like these.<br />

I have some issues with anxiety, that can sometimes be crippling. I'm hoping that blogging may provide an outlet or maybe become a form of therapy.<br />
I hope you will join me on my journey.<br />
