I started crocheting as a stress reliever. I quickly fell in love with the art and started crocheting at every opportunity. My crochet works originally were gifts for various members in my family. For example, each of my nieces and nephews have their own personalized bedspread.
After a few years, demand grew for my creations. I had people requesting left and right for their own personalized product. Thus, Barefoot Bay was born.
I work with a variety of materials, the main one being yarn. I love the possibilities that a ball of yarn brings.
Color is another huge thing. I love mixing colors and seeing which ones play off each other. I'm constantly inspired just by looking at one of my bins of brightly colored yarn.
I love the stages of a project - from the conception, to watching it evolve in production and finally seeing it come to life in completion.
Each of my crochet works come from the idea of home and the comfort that it brings. As I've stated, I really enjoy making gifts for others, especially ones that have meaning. I always try to personalize each item to the recipient - so feel free to let me know what inspires you. I love working with someone to visualize and create the perfect gift!
