There's something to be said about home made. It seems so much more special to come up with an idea and see it come together. I have always liked to create. I did have to put it on hold for a bit

mother is having a bit more time to create. I get excited about projects.
I think it goes all the way back to my childhood. One of my most vivid memories is sitting on the stairs in my parent's house outside my mom's sewing room waiting for it to be my turn to design and sew a dress for my barbie. My mom was always creating things. She sewed beautiful clothes and toys for us. She croched afghans and rugs and painted.
