Our Mother-Daughter Story
We are a mother-daughter team of crafters. The beginnings of our shop happened with a string of events during Christmas of 2015. I have always loved my mom's knitted creations but was always afraid to ask for them for free because she spends hours making each project. This Christmas she had an entire basket of things she had made and had a free-for-all with the family. The items in it where gone within minutes - like a really good pie that took hours to make and devoured in 5 seconds.
At that same party, my aunt asked me what new sewing projects I was working on. The truth was, I've been working on a cross-stitch for about 3 years, but I told her I didn't own a sewing machine. No fun projects here! I had borrowed my sister's machine, but it didn't turn on. On New Years Eve, a BIG box was sitting on my porch - a brand new sewing machine!! I felt a little like Motel in Fiddler on the Roof showing everyone my new machine! Making projects came naturally to me, as I have done precise work with heavy machinery and metal. I sunk in all my Christmas present money to get everything I needed for my first projects and a new addiction was started!
Thinking about my mom's pile of beautiful knitted things with no owners and my growing pile of sewn things, I asked if she wanted to start an Etsy store with me. From there, it's been a super fun project for us to do together.
We are both inspired to craft to enhance someone else's life. Maybe you need a head warmer to wear to that interview and not mess up your hair, a wallet to hold all your important cards, your newest family member needs a warm hug from a hand-knit sweater, or you need that perfect purse for everyday, we want to be there with you and make you something really special. Nothing is mass produced or streamlined to make a profit. Every piece we make was made because that's what we felt like making at the time and we want to pass it along to you! Happy Shopping!!
