Hello! I'm Susan

I design every cross stitch pattern myself and handcraft small batch knit hats, woven totes, and decorative throw pillows.I'm a mom, a grandma, and a lifelong maker who returned to creativity after years in the fast-paced corporate world.My mother taught me to knit and sew at an early age. Through her talent, patience, and guiding hand, I discovered the joy of creating and learned to express my creativity through many different fiber arts.Years later, when my children were young, I discovered cross stitch. I was drawn to its calming rhythm and the satisfaction of creating a piece of art with my own hands.Today, I find inspiration during peaceful nature walks, in quiet moments with a cup of green tea, and through everyday lessons from my spirited Rat-Cha, Hazel.When I'm not designing or making, you'll often find me enjoying nature photography, reading a book, or exploring new places through my travels, both near and far.I'm glad you're here.
