About Us

Hello, I reacquainted myself with crochet when my daughter at the age of 12 asked me to teach her. We got all the stuff and then she said "It's too much work." Meanwhile I got the bug again and started out creating some dishcloths for a friend of mine who had been very helpful during a difficult time. Needless to say she loved them. She's into natural products that are naturally made. By this time I was hooked.

How We Got Started

I decided that since I enjoyed crocheting I would continue and try to sell my products. I am a bit of an entrepreneur so I wanted to find a different way to present my products. I have taught myself new stitches and patterns and learned Tunisian crochet. I've made coasters, dishcloths, potholders and am moving on to place mats, centerpieces and tea cozies. I have also added shopping / beach bags, infinity scarves and am looking into adding napkin rings and some doilies and other decorative ideas.

Each item I create is made with love and the blessings of the Lord. I pray when I crochet that whosoever uses any of my products feels the love that has gone into the piece.

I try to focus on using mostly natural products rather than artificial products and am still looking for a good source of inexpensive hemp yarn! Many of my pieces are 'one of a kind' and I have had a number of them added to gift baskets. These are unique and well made products.

I can see how that would make an impact on a small business. Trying to use an agency for hiring is also costly and not always an option. What you need an office/store manager to do all the hiring/interviewing and basically overseeing everything, of course that costs money too.LG (more) I can see how that would make an impact on a small business.

My business is run by me, myself and I. If I don't work to make dishcloths I have nothing to sell. Unless my business starts taking off, I don't see ever needing anyone else to work with me. LG.

I have recently spent 3 months in a term position with a non-profit organization working as an administrative assistant and providing support to directors, managers and clinicians. This particular non-profit deals with the medical care and their goal is "Better Health Care for All!". I found this to be inspiring and working with great people who simply want to help has fueled my passion even more. I want to make a difference in peoples' lives and help them overcome obstacles. I know personally how hard it is out there and I've been down and out and that is probably why I care so much about it. Life is only worthwhile if you can enjoy it. So let's work together to make that difference and help people learn how to enjoy their lives and get satisfaction.  My crochet business makes me passionate about being able to create something beautiful. Why do dishes if you don't have something pretty to use? Why not use natural fabrics to make beautiful additions to your kitchen and give it that homey feeling. I like to use my creativity to learn new stitches and put them together in various ways. This to me is passion! Where I will end up we shall see, but you can bet your bottom dollar that it will be helping others in some way or form! Affectionately, LG

My biggest issue is time. I work full-time, have a child and am trying to get my business off the ground. I am also taking courses online. So trying to what I need for the business isn't always easy.
