Hi! My name is Amy and I'm 30 years old. I'm married and have two little boys. Caden is six and just starting kindergarten. Shepard is three and starting preschool. I'm a stay at home mom, but I also have a side business making primitive Raggedy Ann dolls, as well as teddy bears, bags, and anything else that strikes my fancy. I love to read in any spare time I can find and will never go a day without at least an hour of a good book! I also adore baking, photography, sewing, and pretty much anything crafty related.
Sewing is my current favorite and what I decided to make a business out of. I'm relatively new to the craft as I only learned to sew about a year and a half ago. But I think I've gotten pretty good in that time and absolutely love it!
I also love doing embroidery projects in my free time. Mostly I do inspiring wall hoops to hang, but I'm also interested in making candle mats and possibly pillows in the near future. I'm always looking for unique patterns or inspiration do develop this hobby.
I'm not sure if this counts as a craft, but I've also recently become interested in chalk paint. I have a few pieces of furniture that have been distressed perfectly, which inspired me to paint my own bookshelf and shelves. Anything I can do to make my home more personal, I love to do!
I thought I'd include some random information about myself...
I mostly read fiction, pretty much anything that's in the top seller lists. I also love inspirational fiction. My all time favorite book is "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers.
I'm kind of obsessed with cookbooks. Baking cookbooks are my favorite, though I'm trying to branch into more general food cookbooks so I can actually find ideas for dinner! My current favorite is "Joy the Baker."
I'm also interested in books that help me with crafting or sewing. Doll making books, teddy bear making books, embroidery books, etc.
And finally, I like to read books that help me grow as a person. Not necessarily self help books, but books that write about being a better mom, wife, etc.
I watch a lot of tv because I like to have it on while I'm doing hand sewing. Some of my all time favorite shows have been... -White Collar -Hart of Dixie -Reign -Bones -Chuck -House -Once Upon a Time -Under the Dome -Revenge -Castle -The Office -Parks and Rec -Gossip Girl
