I grew up in the beautiful rural Missouri Ozarks. As a young girl, my mother taught me many different skills in handwork, and nourished my love of knitting, embroidery, swedish weaving, sewing, and quilting, which started the dream of having my Shop, "Little Ozark Cottage".I am a mother of two precious daughters. I am a Registered Nurse with a rewarding career as a Neonatal ICU nurse for over 40 years. I enjoy knitting, hand embroidery, sewing, and quilting especially making things for children. I like sewing and making reusable items for the home and for daily living, and hope to share some handmade gifts with others
