Since early childhood I can remember feeling the need to make things. Specifically, making gifts. There is something special about a homemade gift, whether it be a macaroni picture frame or a pair of knitted mittens - cliche or not - it is the thought that counts. Inspiration for my creations almost exclusively comes from the people they were originally made for.

I lean more toward textile type projects: knitting, crochet, sewing, quilting... mainly, but, I don't like to define things as I believe that there is always room to grow. I have many interests and ideas and it seems so little time to bring them to life. Find more of my creations at www.joellecreates.com
