Bio

All of my items are made by me and come from my smoke-free, one-cat home.


•A little about me:
Most days you will find me in my cozy little sewing room making something or thinking up something to make on my embroidery machines. I love to make useful and pretty things and since I have no sisters or daughters to sew for, I was thrilled when I found Etsy! I live in a log home in a rural town not far from Seattle, WA with my husband and our cat, Rosie. I have two grown sons nearby. I never really considered myself an artistic person, but somehow I manage to spend most of my time in my "hobby" room creating embroidery-related items.

I inherited my obsession with handcrafting from my mother's side of the family, who did most everything by hand...I started out that way, but now do all of my embroidery and sewing/quilting by machine. My husband doesn't really understand how I can spend so much time in my hobby room, but he fully supports me and appreciates the things I make just as much as I appreciate his hobby of making biodiesel fuel so we can bypass the gas pump.

Now I'm not trying to make a living here, but I would like to try to make a little money to help support my hobby and take some of the burden off of my hubby. At the same time my goal is to try to make others happy with something they wanted but might not otherwise have found anywhere else. I also make and donate a lot of my embroidery items to charity.

I am able to do some custom work. If you have something in mind, please let me know & we can go from there.

Thank you for visiting my little corner of the world! Have fun looking in my shop and the other wonderful shops on Etsy!
