Apricot Family Homestead Gifts

Well over 2 decades ago a young girl took her first crafting class at a local craft store that was tucked away in a corner at a plaza. From that moment on that young girl was hooked on crafting. Every Saturday morning she would wander around the store gathering her supplies getting ready for her class. For three hours a week she was around like minded people of all ages and backgrounds, and she was happy. 

They created everything from 1920s style hats on stands (even sold some when I was younger), hand cross-stitched Christmas ornaments to handcrafted cards for all occasions. The day the store closed she was saddened, as she had lost her only creative outlet she had. That young girl was me! I have always loved crafting.

As I got older my love for all things crafty just grew. I started getting into more elaborate cards for the holidays, custom tumblers with a non-toxic coating, projects like signs and a lazy susan, and even brought back my love for Christmas with handcrafted fabric, rustic-style ornaments. For years my friends and family received my crafts as gifts for holidays and birthdays as I practiced my craft. 

Fast forward to the summer of 2018, my back gave out on me and I had to quit my small home bakery. Not going to lie I was miserable but it was crafting that helped me through it. As I started making more, people started to take notice and ask me to make things for gifts for their loved ones. In early 2021 my loving husband supported me in going full time in creating art. I love what I do, and I hope it shows through the art that I produce. 

So please stop by and browse and support small businesses.
