About Me

Creating has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a young child, I loved painting, drawing, coloring and gluing. I recall collecting feathers, beads, ribbons, leaves and sticks for future projects. Setting up a roadside stand to sell these items or gifting them to my family was the typical end goal. 

As I got older, I explored cross-stitching, jewelry making, paper crafts, calligraphy, furniture painting, knitting, needlepoint and sewing, along with interior design and retail merchandising. Basically, anything where I could keep my hands & mind busy!

When I first taught myself to sew, I was using my mom's machine from the 1970's and it was NOT easy! I somehow was able to make basic pillows and loved using fabric scraps. Eventually, I upgraded my machine and learned new techniques.

Fast forward to today. I have found that sewing bags/totes fulfills my need to create, while also continuing to learn and teach myself new skills.  My laundry room has now turned into my sewing studio, a space where I am inspired to make custom bags that are functional, original and cute! 

I hope you enjoy browsing through my creations and are inspired to add some hand-made accessories to your closet!  Thanks for stopping by!
