Hello!
MY NAME IS CATHERINE
A former teacher, now a stay-at-home mom with my two kids, Carolyn & Colton. But really, I still get to be a teacher with them. Our home is a small farmhouse, that we were blessed to design and watch get built from the ground up in 2019. It's been my dream since I was a kid to have enough land for exploring nature and farm-animals, which currently consists of horses, chickens, ducks, and a dog. It's complete with a garden, but I'm still figuring that out. Although this season we did get some great zucchini, squash, and tomatoes. So I'm staying hopeful!
My other hobbies include crafting and woodworking. Again, a passion I've had for forever. DIY projects, making things by hand, learning new skills - it's all fulfilling. I asked for a sewing machine for Christmas when I was 12 (& still have it). Since then, I've asked for power tools, which are even more fun! I started with outdoor pallet projects, and now our home is furnished with end tables I built. The kids have a playground and swing set, our chickens have a nice coop, both designed and put together by yours truly. My husband, Justin, is so supportive and always there if I need advice, or to help me unload a truck-bed full of lumber. 🙂 I love having the space to build and get creative, and spend time outside.
So why t-shirts? Living on a farm, I rarely dress up, except for church or special occasions. I live in comfy t-shirts, and I especially like ones designed to show personality. So being the DIY gal, I've of course decided, hey... I can make that! So I've invested in a heat-press, learned how to create digital designs with different types of computer software, and before I knew it, I had a new skill and a new shirt.
I'm just starting out with this idea to build a small business based on my passions: decorating our farmhouse style home, and creating apparel with my favorite themes. I want to share my products with others, and hope that they make you smile and feel the comfort of home. 💙
