I like making pretty things. I have always enjoyed making many of the things I love to use: handbags, journals, greeting cards, jewelry, and other fun things. I love imagining the finished product, and seeing it through from design to completion.
Along with French vocabulary, my mother taught me as a young girl to sew and embroider, cut and paste. To create. I remember days spent with her and her mother around our dining room table, each of us working on our own projects and having lovely conversations. The summer I learned to sew, my grandmother helped me design and create my first skirt, with a matching scarf and purse. I even remember the fabulous fabric: a rainbow sherbet-colored seersucker, pinks and tangerines, and white. Yummy yum yum.
I enjoy creating my little treasures. They invoke a bit of whimsy, a riot of color, and are just good for my soul. I hope they’ll feed yours as well. ~Tammy
