Hi, I'm Melanie! I love retirement and sewing is my new pastime.

After 25 years of teaching high school French, I decided to retire early and try something new. I'm loving sewing and crocheting! I already knew how to knit thanks to my grandma, so picking up needlework was relatively easy.

My products have been chosen based on needs that I've had at home, and from images seen online. I love collecting fabric and thread. In the spring of 2022, after I retired, I turned a former office into a sewing room. I've filled it with shelves and baskets for the abundance of fabric that I've collected both online and in person. It's so much fun! I've also been able to get back to photography by setting up a table-top mini studio on my cutting table to photograph my products.

After the Christmas rush, I'm going to try my hand at quilting and also making different products for my catalogue. I'm also going to make quilt-top duvet covers, as I love my duvets and I don't want to dispose of them. Check out my blog on blogspot (address below).

Stella, seen in the photo, is 5 and comes around to check on me while I'm working. My other cat is blind and old, so he mostly stays in bed. Any cat glitter (fur) on your products will be from them, although I will clean your product before wrapping it. :)
