I have really been busy

Boy life has been busy since my husband and I have both retired. That sounds weird! I thought only old people could retire. Everyone at church says we are tooooooooo young to be retired but let me tell you we are enjoying it. We have been able to help our son, Brandon, when he moved […]

Custom Stole Comission


Paperback Book Covers

My Auntie Em has just had foot surgery and while I was visiting her she said that her book cover that her daughter had given her had worn out. So I borrowed it and used it to learn how it was made. I have found some cute material and ribbon to make some to sell […]

Annual Conference

Baptism, Communion, Wedding, Lent, Easter, Advent, Christmas, Red Patchwork for Pentecost, Green and Blue Patchwork, Green […]

Our assistant pastor wanted a new white wedding stole and also wanted a white communion and baptism stole. We decided to combine them and make the stole reversable. I hope you like my designs. The communion I designed myself and am very proud of it. If you know any church that would like a new […]

I am busy right now making stoles for pastors and lay leaders to see and hopefully buy at United Methodist Annual Conference that is being held in Baton Rouge in June. I started making stoles several years ago when our pastor at the time was moving to another church. The staff at the church […]

Well we have spent the last few hours looking for Kelly and David’s cat, Earl Gray. The front door had blown open and we felt that he had gotten out. Before we started looking we searched the house up and down and no Earl. We live next door to the LSU arboretum and so we […]

The fire!

what is a sussy?

a sussy is a gift for no specific reason

who am i?

I’m a wife of 33 1/2 years, mother to three, and a crafter at heart. I grew up next door to my grandparents who were the ultimate crafters and their love was instilled into my way of life. Our children have been a joy to our lives and we are thankful for each of them. Our oldest daughter Kelly has been married to David S. for almost 6 years. They are photograghers and specialize in wedding photography. Stacy is our second child and lives in Lafayette,La. She is also a photogragher and enjoys writing poetry. Our son Brandon lives in Sugar Land, Tx and works as an Electric Engineer at Flour. I quit my job of 9 years in retail to have more time to nourish my soul by doing things I love such as sewing, embroidery, quilting, and of course spending more time with my husband and family. My husband,David, retired last September from working at Exxon refinery where he has worked for the past 33 years. We have had fun adjusting to life as a retired couple. It has been great.
