About Me
First and foremost I'm a mom - to three now teenagers, and three younger bonus kids who I love so very much. I refuse to use the word step. They are all six of my reasons for running my shop and working as hard as I do each day. I opened my shop in a studio in my home July 12, 2012 and two years later in August 2014, I opened the brick and mortar shop.What began as a quilt shop is now a full blown fiber arts and crafts shop. In addition to thousands of bolts of fabric in many many substrates, I carry high quality yarn that cannot be found in chain stores, DMC floss in all colors, needle arts kits in many variations, craft supplies and kits, patterns, books, gift items, and literally so.much.more. I am proud for my shop to be the center of creating with our hands using all types of fibers.
Personally, those who know me best will tell you that I love with my whole heart, if you are in my shop, you are family, I laugh a lot, I talk too much, I love bright colors especially in my hair, I'm open about mental health issues, I'm a retired combat veteran of the Army, I love to play the piano though I don't get enough time, I love to cook, and lastly - but most importantly - I am a safe space, I am openly and proudly inclusive, and that will never ever change about me.
From Left to Right: Niklas, age 15, in the 9th grade; Liam, Kristal's twin, who, along with his twin sister, are in the 8th grade. (pictures need updated but they are few and far between these days as the older they grow, the less they'll consent to their pictures being taken!)
All three kids are headlong into the teenage stage of life in which they are exploring the sports, gaming, and other worlds that help them decide who they want to be and what place they hold in this world. Each of them have a strong system of personal values, independent thoughts of mind, and firm world views. These days, I'm more of a personal taxi cab between school, sporting events, and friend time!
All of my children are my heroes. Each is amazing in their own right.
