My Story!
We were expecting our first child in July of 2018! I wanted to have a fun and different way of announcing our new bundle of joy. I went to our craft closet for inspiration and found one lone roll of pink and white mesh and a wire form.
After practicing and watching Youtube videos, I began to create my very first mesh wreath. Taking leftover decorations from my baby shower, I glued and tied embellishments to complete the look. It took me about 2 days to create this project and a giant mess to go with it! Tulle and clippings littered the floor and - with my 38-week pregnant belly - cleaning took almost as long as creating the wreath itself. Thank goodness my loving husband was there to help!
I have always really enjoyed decorating and the wreaths were something fun to create, so I continued to practice. As time went on I found others also liked my wreaths and offered to pay for my services! I was flattered and began creating and teaching others how to make deco mesh wreaths for their own homes. It was then that my husband and I decided to create a business.
One of the first steps in starting the business was to choose a name. As we pondered this for a few days I began to think about what started my love of creating mesh wreaths, which led me to reminisce about creating my very first one: the mess it made on the floor and my big 38-week pregnant belly that held our precious baby girl. As a first time stay-at-home mom, I’m learning that life can be pretty messy, but with the mess comes beautiful things that bring us joy! Thus, The Meshy Life now MJ's Designs & Home Decor was born!
