When I’m not thinking about how to keep my hungry family fed healthy foods , I’m sewing cotton pocket canvas aprons for my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads , www.amazon.com/handmade/topdrawerthreads .
Or I’m putting the finishing touches on hand knit hats worked by me from upcycled recycled yarn gleaned from local sources for my other shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .
My daughter’s have an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns - where they design and sew cotton pocket knickers in fun, frolicsome prints and colors.
My older daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/wildwovenwomen - where she works upcycled yarns into hand knit brightly striped afghans and scarves.
My younger daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/shroombloombags - where she designs and crochets upcycled yarns into funky mushroom inspired shoulder bags.
