Tell us a little about yourself.
I've been a SAHM for three years. I have a 7-year-old stepson, 3-year-old daughter, and a 2-year-old son. I'm due in June with another little girl. Before becoming a SAHM, I worked as a mental health therapist treating children and adolescents. My mom bought me my first sewing machine two years ago. I had never sewn a stitch but thought it might be fun to learn to sew a thing or two. :) I became addicted immediately!!! I love creating fun and unique items for children and it's definitely become my "therapy."

| Minky Monogram Diaper Cover |
I carry a wide array of items, mainly for children and infants. Diaper cover sets, bath wraps, aprons, dresses, applique shirts, and onesies.
What inspires you to create?
My own children, mainly. I've found that as my children's needs develop I have new ideas for items I want to add to my shop. The seasons and fun new fabrics also inspire me!! I've become a certified fabric junkie. I love just browsing fabric shops and thinking about all the new items I could make!

| Children's A-Line Ruffled Dress |
It's HARD. My children and family always come first, so often times the creative ideas in my head don't come to fruition very quickly. It definitely takes patience and a willingness to work into the wee hours of the night to get orders complete, but I have a real passion for it so it doesn't often seem like "work." I think that is the coolest part about it -- I LOVE what I do.
What is your favorite thing to browse Etsy for?
Fabrics, definitely. I've added SO many fabric shops to my favorites lately. I love finding something new and different, something I haven't come across before. I also love some of the handmade jewelry out there. It's gorgeous!

When I do have some free time outside of family and my shop, I love to spend time with friends. I've been fortunate to find a wonderful mom's group in which I've found unbelievable support and encouragement though the last several years.

ReplyDeleteHow cute! Nice to "meet" you Julie. Lots of Houston area girls in this group, I had no idea! I'm in Spring, your northern neighbor! :)
ReplyDeletevery cute shop. Nice to get to know you
ReplyDeleteI have personally had some of Funny Farm Creations clothing in my home and I have to say... Julie knows what she is doing. She's a top quality seamstress and pays a lot of attention to the little details. Her clothes can be handed down from generation to generation. That's how well they are made. I would definitely recommend.. ~ Rebecca S.
