Welcome to my new adventure into sharing my creative journey!
If you would have asked me a decade ago if I was creative, I would have said no. I make a lot of things, but I do it by following directions. Legos, origami, cookies, cross stitch, friendship bracelets, knitted hats, crocheted amigurumi, quilts, Ikea furniture – all made by following a set of steps. That someone else came up with.
But here’s the thing: at the root of creative, is the word ‘create.’ And, boy, do I create! If there’s one, overriding drive in my life, it’s definitely to create: to turn pieces and parts into something greater.
My current obsession is bag-making, but I’m hoping to branch out into sewing more quilts and clothes. And I also just got the most adorable hedgehog embroidery kit, so 2025 may launch a new embroidery phase? Time will tell!
