How Embroidery Became My Creative Outlet

How two women have shaped my life.

Life is busy around here- I'm a wife, mom of three, healthcare worker, and now the owner of a growing embroidery business. Most days are filled with long shifts, family activities, sport schedules, outdoor adventures, and trying to keep up with everyday life.

What many people don't know is that sewing/stitching has always been a part of my story.

I learned how to sew, and hand embroider when I was just 10 years old from my great grandmother and Grammie. They taught me more that stiches and patterns- they taught me patience, creativity and how something handmade can carry so much meaning. Those memories are some of my favorites, and now I get to carry those traditions forward in my own way.

Ironically, even my kids didn't really know I could sew. I suture lacerations and have always enjoyed caring for others. But creative sewing was something I has tucked away while life stayed busy.

Eventually, after long shifts and exhausting days and the emotional healthcare toll. I realized I needed something for me. Something creative, calming and meaningful. That's when embroidery found its way back into my life.

What started as a creative outlet for me quickly became a passion. I began making custom pieces for family and friends. Experimenting with designs, colors, texture inspired by our outdoors loving lifestyle. From hand embroidery beanies, which has now evolved into running a 10-needle embroidery machine.

This business is more than embroidery to me. It's a connection to the women who taught me a way to create something meaningful to others and passing it down through my own kids.

If you are here supporting my small business, thank you. Truly. I am so glad you are here and I hope the pieces I create bring you warmth comfort and mean something special to you.

XOXO, Kay
