If I don't have my hands busy, I'm not happy. I have to be creating. I began painting in middle school, sewing and crocheting in high school, and began working with clay and chocolate in college. When I began making pillows and cross stitch patterns, I knew I had finally found my calling. I could combine my love of creativity with my geek side. I work at my home office, which my husband and I built ourselves! I love working from home, getting to spend time with my three kids. I think it's important to teach them creativity at a young age. They love watching me work, and it encourages me all the more.

I'm a big gamer. Really big. I have a Zelda tattoo, big. The Sims? Totally there. Elder Scrolls? Yep. World of Warcraft, anyone? (For the Horde!) LEGO anything? Wee! I could list a million games I have played/beaten/yelled at the screen for hours over... but the main point is I gather my inspiration from the things I really love to do.

I love my job, and I do it all. From photo shoots, to graphic design, to stuffing, sewing, and marketing. ...Except the IT work. That's all my husband! He just built me my own website (WIN!)

When you buy from us, you are supporting a (very!) small business run out of a (very!) small in-home studio. I literally work on two desks - one for sewing and one crammed full of a dual monitor computer system. The other half of the office is occupied by my husband as he yells at Overwatch and keeps me company! You're not lining some CEO's pockets - you're helping pay for my daughter's painting lessons she loves, those emergency home repairs no one expects, and that college fund I'm trying to get off the ground for the kids. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts - and we hope you know that we love what we do and therefore we love all of you!
