Hi Rhonda, please tell us a little bit about yourself and your shop?
I am a mother of four amazing sons and a wife of a great man. I love to make things with my hands. I have been creating all my life. My Grandmother taught me how to crochet, knit and paint (china) when I was around 5 years old. I spent hours watching her beautiful hands create one amazing treasure after another. She gave to me the desire to learn new things and to always make my world a better place by creating beautiful things to surround myself and others with.

My shop is a reflection of me, I sell what I love to make. I have a wide range of hand knit and crocheted items for women of all ages. I also sell items that I have sewn, and I love working with beautiful fabrics. I have some of my paintings (no painted China, since I have not painted any since my Grandmother passed away). I enjoy working with many different textiles yarns, paints, fabrics, papers, and just about anything I can get my hands on. So you never know what new item will show up in my shop next!!

Can you describe your creative process?

Creating beautiful things has always been a part of me. If I am not creating something to sell, then I am creating just to please myself. I love to work with yarns knitting and crocheting are my first loves. I also love sewing and creating items with different fabrics. I really enjoy working with just about anything I can get my hands on. One example: I used grape vines from my garden, dried them and hung them on my kitchen wall in the form of a large, artistic tree. My mind is always coming up with new ideas.

Apart from creating hand knits and crocheted items, what do you enjoy doing?
I also love to read, study, garden, cook, travel, and playing the violin. I find that gardening and cooking are also creative outlets. When I get to busy with my regular life and I can’t sew or knit I am always thankful that I can make dinner and use my creative talents in the kitchen.

Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
I believe most artist feel the same way I do, that creating is just who you are. I am a person who is unable to stop the creative process. Whether I am in the kitchen, back yard, writing, decorating, sewing, or knitting my mind is always coming up with new ideas to make my world and the world around me a more beautiful place to live in!!
