A Little About Me:
For years I've enjoyed the beautiful and unique handmade embroidered cards that my mother, Jeanne, sent me from Quebec. When I visited a few summers ago, I was finally able to see her at work. Since she taught me how to knit as a small child, it seemed only natural that she'd also initiate me into the art of doing 'embroidery on paper'. What I did not expect was how passionate I would become about it. Since then, I have a piece of stitching in my hands every chance I get! It's hard to describe the deep sense of joy, peace and satisfaction that embroidery on paper gives me; not only is it a delightful means to be creative, but also to meditate and practice mindfulness.
As my cards, bookmarks and mandalas quickly began to accumulate, I decided to offer them at local craft fairs and markets over the recent Holidays. I'd much rather that my embroidered pieces be enjoyed by others and shared with their loved ones than have them sitting at home in a drawer. I was pleasantly surprised by the positive response! I feel blessed to have been passed on such a wonderful art by my mother for more reasons than I can count, but to see someone's face light up when they see my embroidery, well, that's really the cherry on the cake!
My creativity has taken an exciting new direction in the last few months. Drawing on my past experience as a chef, I now also make essential oil synergy roll ons and personal inhalers, and natural perfumes. My partner, Don, has even joined me in helping make colloidal silver products, as well as diffuser jewelry.
