My business started slowly....in my basement...while living in NY...around a sewing machine...a bit of thread...some fabulous fabric and, of course, children.

One of my children has special needs and when little, required all of my time. I started creating blankets, at first, for them but to also find a bit of "me time" away from the constant hustle and bustle of rearing children and running to and from therapy sessions. My goal was to still keep it about them though because they were my biggest inspiration. It then became a gift source for all of my children's many friends. I would whip up bags from recycled jeans and all with the input from my darling daughters as to what they wanted added to make it extra special. My husband would come home saying "so and so had another baby...I need you to make another blanket" until one day I thought to myself that I needed to make this more! Wanting something that I could still do from home and have my focus on but to, more importantly, still be there for my children. I found joy in knowing that I made someone happy and warm when they wrapped themselves or their wee little newborns in my blanket. I wanted to be able to spread the love and reach out to others. The process was intentionally slow, but steady, and my children were growing (and another child...my boy...was made) and though I was still busy with them I was finding more and more "me time" while they were at school. My youngest is off to school now and I wanted something that would still allow me to be there for them unconditionally and would also allow me complete control in creating the love that sets me apart from the rest. I was ready to take that leap to the next level and thus "Golden Mama" was born...my fifth child. Keeping it in line with the rest of my children and constantly rearing it with the never ending love that I have for them. The ideas exploding in my head are endless from the constant inspiration my children give me. The creating is always evolving and the one constant that ties my children and my business together is LOVE and I want the rest of the world to feel my love with a Golden Mama purchase!
