and a little about my threads... |
             |
 when I was nineteen and decided my future was
either going to involve panhandling or getting a trade.
I grew up with a mom who was an awesome seamstress, so I naturally chose to pull out the needle and thread. I began by
making padded pouches with hand embroidered designs and eventually made my way into the world of clothes. I was living
in
my trusty orange 1978 VW camper bus (Fluff),
so all of the clothes I made were done with no electricity... that is, they were all hand sewn...Whew! I have since
moved on up in the world (technologically, that is) and now I actually use a sewing machine and a serger. I construct each
item using either my fabulous Pfaff sewing machine or my unbelievable Husqvarna-Viking Designer 1. And of course, all of the
stress point seams on my products are twice or thrice stitched. I topstitch where neccessary, and to make sure linings stay in place. All seams are serged on
my Bernina four thread serger, thus ensuring durability and neatness (no fraying!) I wash and dry all fabrics before I make an
item, so you don't have to worry about something shrinking or bleeding when you wash it! All bodices and pockets are lined, usually with 100% natural unbleached muslin
(although sometimes I use a coordinating calico instead).
All of my products are made with 100% natural fibers... no weird synthetic materials here.
I stand by my work, so if you have any problems that are due to the quality of my clothing,
I will take care of it. Also, returns on unwashed, unworn clothes are fine, as long as you have emailed me
and told me there is a problem. I want you to feel confident
if you choose to buy your goods from me!
(*Please note that returns are good for a "store" credit only*) For more info regarding returns, please check the ORDER page
or email me.

 My day-to-day life consists of loving on my wonderful husband, Samuel ~ my bluegrass sweetie ~ and being a mom
(world's greatest job) to my precious sons, Eli Creek, who is 6, and Silas Canyon, who is a big boy of 3. Our home
is truly blessed. We try to go to local festivals as often as we can, there are some great ones here in Florida, plus
there are several other good ones in the South. I will say we have cut back on travelling since Silas was born, but he
will grow fast (as they have a tendancy to do) and we will begin our travels again soon. We love living on the Gulf
Coast. Our lives are pretty laid back on our little island. Samuel owns a one-man landscaping biz, so he is able to
spend oodles of time at home with me and with the kids.
 I spend a good part of my day tending to our home, homeschooling both
Eli and Silas, digging in the dirt and playing hide-and-seek, and all the other amazing things mamas get to do. Being a stay at home mom is such a wonderful
experience. It's the only life for us. We spend
lots of time on the beach looking at horseshoe crabs and watching the dolphins. We have lots of really cool birds to
watch, too! As a family, we love our lives, we love each other, and we love Jesus! If you would like to read the best

My Sweet Family
Thanks for dropping in.
God Bless and go barefoot!
