Finding peace in chaos.
It was the feel of the pedal under my foot. The control of the process. I have personally washed, pressed, measured, cut and pinned every inch of the fabric. While the world may be loud, chaotic, and unpredictable, in my workshop, I am in control. From picking the project, to laying out the perfect fabric, to running each stitch through the machine, I have the power to create something that never existed, and that takes me from the chaos of the world to the peace of creation.

Where is my joy?
Where is my joy? I have always believed that we all deserve joy. Even when I was growing up in a single parent home, with not a lot of love, and way too much instability. Even in my twenties as I fought illnesses and struggled to survive, I knew there was something, somewhere that would bring me happiness. Even as I moved from California to Iowa and eventually to New York, I knew one day I would find the thing I was meant to do. When I met my husband all the pieces of my life seemed to fall into place, and then our daughter was born, and everything was just about perfect. Yet, I knew there still was something out there that would light my soul on fire, something that would make me happy as an individual, not just as a mom and a wife, and I was going to find it no matter how long it took.
