I was born and raised in Hot Springs, Arkansas.  After college, I moved to Chicago, IL, where I now live with my husband, Alpesh, and our two yorkies, Harry and Bella.

I’ve been crafting since I was a little girl.  My mother was a master at making personalized gifts that were both simple and meaningful and I always knew I wanted to do the same.  My grandmother taught me needlework when I was 14 and my mother taught me how to crochet and knit when I was 16.  I’ve had a hook or a needle in my hand ever since.
