About Me

I am a stay-at-home mom/professional photographer from southern Wisconsin.

Creativity and art are my two favorite things. I love photography, painting, sewing, crafts of all kinds, and I live by the motto "Why spend money when you can make it yourself?"

I married my best friend in September 2010, and we have a 4-year old girl named Josie and our little boy Jonah will be 1 in January.

Favorite Crafts

I love to sew and crochet.

I love to paint (generally, on canvas with acrylics, but I will paint on pretty much anything if inspiration strikes).

I love to photograph.

I love crafting for my kids. Hats, bibs, clothes, toys, accessories... anything.

I love to do pretty much any crafty thing imaginable.

Favorite Colors/Patterns

My all-time favorite is argyle, though I am growing quite fond of polka dots and plain old stripes.

My favorite colors are seafoam/mint, black, white and grey. I love the combo of red & aqua.

I do not care for much pink at all. I use it and enjoy it VERY sparingly. I own exactly zero items of clothing containing pink.

My kids share a room, but they have distinctly different themes on each side of the room. My daughter's side is colorful and bright, and full of birds and trees. Her favorite color is purple. My son's side has lots of blues and aquas with a hint of red, and whales and ships.

Favorite Things I've Made

Bandana bibs for my son

Crochet hats & scarves for my kids

T-shirt yarn flowers for my home

Yarn wall-hangings

Wish List:

Fabric scraps (unique, vintage, unusual)

Comment: ABBEY!!! I got your AMAZING package and didn't even realize I would be opening something SO PERFECT! I wish I could give you many more hearts than just one! The mug mat and the mug cozy are a perfect pairing with the coffee you sent me! I can't wait to brew the coffee and give everything a try! I LOVE the yellow bicycle and lining on the mug cozy! And I'm pretty much obsessed with quilting right now! YOU ARE A GREAT SWAP PARTNER! I would swap with you any day of the week! Thank you so much!
Response: Awww you're so sweet! Your profile made it easy to figure out what you like, but I'm glad you enjoy everything!! =)
