I have a passion for crafting especially crochet ❤ I love to make amigurumi and clothing for both me and little one. I enjoy other crafts including - ❤ Cross stitch ❤ Knitting ❤ Sewing ❤ Embroidery ❤ Weaving ❤ Digital Art

I'm Mama to one little human, 4 cats and one dog. 💙 I will be referring to my toddler as my little Duck during streams to protect her identity 😊 My four cats are all short haired. I have 3 girls called Matilda, Storm and Shadow and my ginger boy is called Hamilton 💗 Our dog is a Saluki/Greyhound couch potato called Wilson. 💖 I created this pixel art of my fur babies to share with you all. I would love to hear about any pets that you have in chat. 😊

I am autistic, I also have - Fibromyalgia, ME, Hyper-mobility, OCD, Generalised Anxiety Disorder (co-dependent), dyspraxia and dyslexia ❤ How my disabilities may affect gaming/streaming? ❤ Sometimes I like to do things in a certain order which may mean I do things differently to how others may do it. Please allow me to do things the way I like to and if I want advice or guidance I will ask for it. ❤ Due to my autism and anxiety I'm not usually a social butterfly and very rarely leave the house. However that is why I am venturing into streaming to try and gain confidence and make friendships. So I shall try my best not to be too quiet and reserved. ❤ I get brain-fog which means I may forget what I am doing or scramble things up in my brain. Please have patience. ❤ My hands can become quite painful and stiff so it can sometimes be hard for me to press the correct buttons all of the time and may slow down my reaction speeds/timings. ❤ It can sometimes be very uncomfortable/painful for me to stay in one position for a long time so regular breaks to stretch may be needed. ❤ I can get overwhelmed and overstimulated by certain amounts of sound or certain visuals. Therefore some game sounds or visual effects may be turned off. Although my mobility should not really effect the streams I would like to mention for solidarity reasons that I use a walking stick and a wheelchair. If you need to use a mobility aid to keep you safe please do. Your safety matters more than what other people think. 💖

I have recently become a Twitch affiliate so if you would like to support me by subbing to my channel you can although it is certainly not necessary 💜 Subs receive ad free viewing, access to my ducky emotes, Sub discord role and discord sub channel 🦆 Other way to support me include - [Ko-Fi](https://ko-fi.com/christabellesquackers) Where you can leave a £2 tip and Pond Pals Adoption Centre is open. 😁 [Throne Wishlist](https://throne.com/christabellesquackers) This is my wishlist of things I would like to save towards/buy myself but if you would like to have a look or contribute in any way you're more than welcome. 😊 Bit Donations are welcome and donations of 50 bits or more play the Louis Theroux rap. 😂

My main goal is to just socialise with others and become more confident and comfortable with who I am. It would also be awesome if I brought a little happiness to others. I will write my other goals and achievements here as and when they happen. 😊 **First Stream** - 03/08/23 ✔ **50 Followers** - 03/08/23 ✔ **Twitch Affiliate** - 14/08/23 ✔ **100 Followers** - 17/08/23 ✔ **15 subscribers** - 06/09/23 ✔ **25 subscribers** - 11/09/23 ✔ **150 Followers** - 14/09/23 ✔ **200 Followers** - 07/11/23 ✔
