I never met my grandmother. She passed away before I was born, but I know her through her creations. She sewed clothing, as many people did, but I can't imagine they all made dresses with such detail - rows and rows of ruffles in pale pink with blue velvet bows. She even went all out for Halloween - see the picture of my mother in her Spanish dancer dress.
Many people sew for necessity or for fun... but I think for her it was something more. It makes you feel special to have a dress no one else has. I recently made myself a necklace with 97 rare vintage Swarovski pagoda beads. It turned out amazing, but what I secretly love about it is that I have the only one. The designs I create for you are also one of a kind - I think you'll feel the same way about owning something no one else has.
My mother is a creator as well. For my birthday she invented a way to bling out the candles on my cake with wired crystals. She also made a wreath featuring the silhouettes of Washington, Lincoln and me for my President's Day birthday.
