Oooh. awkward... who likes to write about themselves?! not me! 

But I would like to let you know who I am so here we go!  I'll start off with the basics, I'm a Mama, a Wife and a Maker. My studio is the corner of our basement family room so I can still be around my family while I'm sewing and creating most of the time...and sometimes Mama does like some peace and quiet haha. My son goes to a Forest &  Farm kindergarten and I spend some time volunteering there as well. 

I've been creating my own reusable items and sewing for years...but I was recently inspired to do it for a living when I realized I just couldn't do corporate life anymore I needed to be creative and wanted to be able to work for myself, I wanted my work to have meaning to it. I want my items to bring people happiness while also helping to reduce the use of disposable items. When my son is an old man taking my great-grandkids for a hike or a swim I want them to be able to see a world that is still beautiful, not covered in old plastic. To this end when I source materials I avoid the use of plastic and polyester whenever I can and find a compostable/biodegradable alternative. My packaging is intentionally simple; often just cotton string and paper, but it's all compostable. 

I want my company to do good not just for my family and those who buy my items, but also out in the world, which is why I'm so happy to have found goimaigine so every sale goes to help kids in need as well.
