My earliest memories...I was always crafting something. I think I started painting rocks, then weaving potholders, baking Shrinky Dinks or using my Easy Bake Oven ~Am I dating myself?? No matter what I was creating, while doing so, I can recall always feeling truly happy inside and an overwhelming sense of calm....ahhh. I also love making people smile & handmade gifts are so special, I love giving and receiving them (mostly giving them!).

Then there was that day I got my hands on a sewing machine, I was around 7 years old and I've been sewing ever since. It's my first true love. Don't get me wrong, I do not discriminate...I love knitting, crocheting, jewelry making, paper crafts, throwing pottery, making jam...the list might be endless.

So the really, real is that my studio was overflowing with all of my beautiful handmade treasures. Sometimes (most times) it's hard for me to part with my creations because there is a little piece of me in each one. My husband gave me an ultimatum (my crafting started to ooze into other rooms in the house), I needed to let go and share the happiness of my handmade gloriousness...so here I am!

If you pour your heart and soul into what you love, your finished products will reflect that.
