neesypea

Hey I'm Denise, but everyone calls me Neesy Pea. I'm a 30 something Northern California native SAHM who lives with my artist hubby and two cutie pie boys ages 4 and 2!

My mother taught me the love of crafting, sewing, and crochet when I was a kid, and I never stopped.

I started my business, Heyday Fashion, in October of 2002. I love every second of it, and handcraft everything myself in a modest studio in the Sacramento area of CA, so check it out sometime!

So many things inspire me in my creative process: all the colors of the rainbow, polka dots, vintage & recycled materials, big puffy rain clouds, stories from grannies and everything cute and kitschy.

My wheels never stop spinning and I'm always creating something new!

No religious stuff please. Not a sports fan at all. we don't have pets. French Country or any traditional country crafts like roosters or geese or teddy bears in sweaters. I am also not into the whole "shabby chic" look at all, roses or rose themed things. Mary Engelbreit, Winnie the Poo & Disney stuff. Not really a royal blue or purple color fan either. Not into celebrity stuff, country or rap/hiphop music. Do not like incense or patchouli scent.

Lot's of 80's New Wave. Some 60's and 70's. Also love Morrissey & Radiohead.
