A little of this, a pinch of that, and a dash of creativity mixed together to get what you see before you.
My name is Mechelle Morgan, I'm a Florida native (I know rare breed)!
I love to make new things and do a little bit of this and a little bit of that. I enjoy upcycling things to bring new life into them. I also enjoy doing old time crafts. I grew up crocheting and find that it and hand sewing helps me to relax. Both of my grandmothers could crochet and sew. My mom learned from hers and then taught me. There are times when it doesn't seem to want to work out and I have to put it down and walk away for a while until my mind is clear and I can step back in with fresh eyes.
I like to also find antiques (sometimes I feel like I'm in the wrong era) and give them a second life.
I'm an animal lover (to the point I'm not allowed to go to a pound/shelter because I walk out adopting someone) and spend time with my cat and five (yes five) dogs. My cat is a tabby domestic shorthair. My dogs include a mash up but all fit together well. I have a chiweenie, beagle mix, two lab mixes, and a American pit mix. Thank goodness I live in the country lol. They all keep me on my toes and bring constant joy into my life.
I am a history nerd and am involved with a local state park and reenactments. Some if these are my "studio" as I am in period clothing and try to do period accurate activities (although some of my fabric/yarn isn't accurate).
I'm a true Florida girl and love all the woods, pastures, and beaches (yes we have all three!). My inspiration comes from everywhere around me. As a southern woman, I know the importance of a good throw pillow and a home that is decorated all out yet still feels like home.
My site will no doubt reflect me as a person and therefore will be a mix of everything. I always love to learn something new and admire things of days past. I hope you enjoyed your stop here and hope to have you stop by again.
