The Inspiration for Julies threaded needle
We started this shop as a way to supplement a one income household and to help my daughter Sarah or any of our other five children that wished to work from home do so.
We love dolls and with 4 girls in the family have collected quite a few of them. All dolls need clothes and this was a way to teach the girls how to sew by making doll clothes.
Since my two oldest children now 21 and 20, were 2 and 3 we have gotten together with my siblings and their families and celebrated All Saints Day. The children each pick a saint, dress up as them and tell their story to our extended family members (55 and counting). It is a cherished family custom that we look forward to each year.
We are also very blessed to be able to live in beautiful northern Michigan! A couple years back we were on a Sunday drive and ended up at the largest Nun museum in the U.S. There are 525 nun dolls and 20 mannequins whose traditional habits depict 217 different religious orders of nuns and priests.
It is the combination of these three things that inspired us to start this shop. We love dressing our dolls so why not dress them in Saint costumes and Nun Habits. What better kind of play could there be for my girls.
That's our story in a nutshell. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read about us. God bless you!
