Hi! I'm Mary. I'm currently pregnant with my second daughter. I'm a crafter and a SAHM/WAHM. In my previous life I was (and hopefully will be again in the future) a massage therapist. I love to knit, crochet, and machine embroider, as well as pretty much any other craft there is. I own a silhouette cameo but it hasn't made it out of the box just yet- soon! I'm a Pinterest and craft blog addict. I recently moved to Texas from Hawaii with my husband and daughter. I have an interest in Montessori education. My favorite places to go are the library, the craft store, and anywhere I've never been. My favorite time of year starts around Halloween and ends after New Year's Day. I miss snow and hope to move somewhere colder one day. I'm looking forward to finding my way around here!

I have an almost 3 year-old daughter, Stella, who loves princesses, rainbows, zombies, bacon, and action figures/small dolls. Fiona is coming in April. :) Stella's decor theme is owls/woodland creatures and Fiona's is matryoshkas.

I love coral, aqua, greens- mint, seafoam, avocado- just no forest/hunter green. My favorite color combos are yellow and gray, pink and gray, red and turquoise, coral and seafoam, and rainbow. I love chevron prints, houndstooth, stripes. I like 70s style things in ugly 70s orange and green.
