Hi, my name is Christine. Welcome to Jayde & Rose. I'm happy to be here and I'm happy you are here. My shop is named for my two daughters' gemstones of their home countries. One being jade from China and the other being rose quartz from Malawi. I am a stay-at-home homeschooling mom with five kids total, one being on the way from Africa. I have been married for twenty-three years and we live in the Pacific Northwest. I taught myself to crochet while my kids worked on their homeschooling lessons, this way I could be there for them and entertain myself as well. I love crochet as a creative outlet. My favorite thing to make is amigurumi. I never get tired of it. I'm very happy and grateful to be sending my creations out to the world. Thank you for reading my story.
