Hi!  I’m Teresa!  Wel­come to my shop, I hope you like what you see!

I began hand sewing when I was 7 years old.  My momma taught me how to thread a nee­dle, tie a knot in one end, and sew neat, straight stitches.  She taught me how to prop­erly hem, make but­ton­holes, and iron seams.  I began mak­ing Bar­bie doll clothes from worn-out cloth­ing and scraps.   My lit­tle mid­dle fin­ger was too small to prop­erly wear a thim­ble, so I pushed the nee­dle through bare bones!  Over time a lit­tle hole devel­oped in the tip of my fin­ger.  As a result, my daddy pur­chased a sewing machine for me when I turned 9 years old.  Imag­ine my excite­ment!  That was over 40 years ago and I still sew with that first machine, though infrequently.

I’ve always loved cre­at­ing one-of-a-kind items so I taught myself to knit, hand– embroi­der, nee­dle point, cross-stitch, and cro­chet.  The major­ity of items I cre­ate today are made with care and love, usu­ally with some­one in mind.  Many of my goods are custom-made / made-to-order.

While I do pre­fer per­fec­tion, I know that it’s imper­fec­tions that’s per­fec­tion!  I work to make all of my projects “just right.”  I will only list items that I am totally happy with, because if I don’t love it how can I expect you to?

I live with my won­der­ful hus­band, 3 furry “kid­dos”, 1 tur­tle, and a school of fish.   We have one grown son.  I love the sound of crunchy leaves, the scent of happy flow­ers, the sight of the ocean, the smell of good dirt, the glow of col­or­ful rain­bows, the warmth of a summer’s day, and the peace­ful­ness of a cloud­less night sky.

My degree is in account­ing and I cur­rently main­tain my CPA license.  Although I no longer prac­tice pro­fes­sion­ally I do vol­un­teer my account­ing exper­tise to the IRS’s Vol­un­teer Income Tax Assis­tance Pro­gram.  Addi­tion­ally, I vol­un­teer my sewing skills mak­ing hos­pi­tal gowns for ill chil­dren as well as time hold­ing sick babies in the NICU.

And that’s a lit­tle bit about me!  So come on into the shop!  If you have a spe­cial request, please use my con­tact form and I will do my best to cre­ate that per­fect item for you!

I hope you find some­thing you would love to have and enjoy as much as I loved mak­ing it.

Thanks for stop­ping by!

Teresa
