I consider my life like an unfinished book with chapters written and chapters to be written. For most of my working life, I have always worked in the Corporate America environment. As a young woman, I enjoyed the opportunities to earn my own money and help my family financially in the hometown I grew up in. I was always taught that through hard work would come success. I learned over the years that success is on-going. As such I would need to keep challenging myself. When I married and had a family, challenge presented it self again as my husband and I were faced with more financial responsibilities… another new chapter in my life.

Then I lost my job. It took awhile to find employment, but I did!  Things were going good in my new job for quite a few years – then I lost my job, again. I looked at this new chapter as an opportunity to focus on what values I had and really enjoyed. Over the past summer and with the upcoming Christmas holidays approaching, I wanted to do something for my family and friends especially those who were supportive of me during this difficult time.

And then it hit me… hats and scarfs for everyone!

I dusted off my old knitting needles and purchased a few skeins of yarn and went to work. The response was wonderful. At that moment I knew what my next chapter would be – sharing my love of knitting with others.

Over the next few months, my crafting journey has expanded to include hair accessories and jewelry accessories. My main focus has always been to create quality not quantity products. My crafting journey is a like a winding road - I may not know what awaits me around the corner, but I am excited about the possibilities.
