Fleece hats, ear warmers, rice heating Pads and boo boo bags along with key fobs, chapstick holders, hair ties, purses and a variety of other items can be found in my shop. You never know what will come out of my sewing room.

I began sewing on my Mother's treadle sewing machine. She would let me sew scraps together. I loved watching her cut out patterns from newspaper and made a dress or a skirt. In the 7th grade in 4-H club, I learned how to make a simple gathered skirt. After that I was hooked. In 9th grade I made my first ever dress and remember it still - it was orange with small scarecrows on it and had a long waisted bodice.

This was just the beginning of my lifetime of crafting. I later made quilts and clothing for my children. But, I was always creating new projects. Whether it was making grapevine wreaths, hair ribbons, Rice Bags, crocheting and knitting hats and caps or creating little dolls and creatures for my 6 children. I sold at craft fairs and did volunteer work.

Once my children grew up, I went to college and became a teacher. After retiring from teaching gifted children, I opened an Etsy shop to share my hand crafted items with the world. I constantly am coming up with new projects as that is my love - creating new items. I have a shop where I sell only dog diapers, one for only wire cardholders and then this one where I share many of my handmade collections such as a couple sizes Microwave Rice bags, Hand Warmers, fleece slouchy hats, hair ties,baby bibs and burp cloths, Key fobs and my excess supplies.

I I also do some custom embroidery work. Jewelry making is another passion of mine I have collected quite an inventory off beads and supplies to make Necklaces, bracelets and wire wrapped rings.

I have another shop called WireCardHolders where I exclusively sell wire card holders. Also another where I sell Male Dog Diapers called RitzyDogDapers. Hope you will take the time to browse my shop Comfort and Grins where you will find a host of handcrafted treasures.
