I have had my own crafting business for many years. We go by the name of 'Combs Creations'. It has just been a hobby, making things for gifts and now and again setting up a table at craft fairs. When my children were young, I made most of their clothes.
I started sewing when I was 11 years old on my grandmother's treddle machine. She also taught me how to crochet and embroider. My mother was a wonderful seamstress. I remember many stitches she made me take out because they weren't straight enough!
I am a retired legal assistant and spent several years in retail fabric/craft sales. I owned my own fabric store for several years. I have been quilting for many years. I have mainly given them as gifts. Now it is time to make a full-time business of the things I love to do. I have antiques, jewelry and other items that will be of interest.
I like to crochet/knit and make jewelry. So, on any given day you may be surprised what you will find from me.
For more of a personal background, I have a Bachelor's degree in legal assistant /secretarial work, a tailoring certificate and have won many, many ribbons at the Iowa State Fair for my sewing and food items. I also have a degree in business/marketing. I have two grown sons - that can also sew and cook!
I have an adorable tshipoo dog, Holly. She is terribly spoiled. I am a writer, writing poetry and short stories and have been editor for several newsletters. I wrote a romance novel and, of course, I would like to sell you a copy - just ask.
I hope you enjoy the items in my shop and tell your friends. I am certainly enjoying seeing many of your shops. I also worked as a supervisor in a chain fabric store for several years. Loved it.
My husband passed away almost a year ago and I have moved from Iowa to sunny Las Vegas to be near family. I am getting back in the groove here and hope to see you here often.
