BrazenFace

I've always liked to make things. Anything really. I've painted, knit, dabbled at jewelry. After I completed a sewing course at the Anna Templeton Centre I knew I had found what I truly love to do. Sew.

I should elaborate. I love to create things with a sewing machine. Don't dare ask me to mend something. My husband, stopped giving me things to "fix" when he realized he never got anything back again.

When my little girl was born, five years ago, sewing turned into an obsession. I spent every spare moment researching different fabrics and making crib bedding, blankets, bibs, hats, and burp cloths. I had so much fabric I started to sell things at craft fairs to cover the cost of my new addiction.

Once I returned to work, life became busy. REALLY busy. I felt like I had to do it all: full-time career, daycare drop-offs and pick-ups, supportive wife, quality family time, not-so-quality family time. The rare moments I could steal away to my sewing studio became my reprieve. There, I shut out the world to design, create and sew.

Four years later, my little boy was born and I decided I was ready for a big life change. I left my day job, and the city, behind and moved with my family to a small rural community. I'm excited to spend more time with my family and launch Brazenface, an online baby boutique featuring nursery decor and baby accessories designed and created exclusively by moi.
