The name of my shop came to me via my youngest daughter. When I started sewing upcycled dresses I was addicted. For the first time in a very long time I was doing something that made ME happy. I spent and still do a lot of time in my office sewing.

One afternoon, my boyfriend was in the living room and asked my 10 year old daughter where I was. She told him,”She is in the office.” He said, “Go get her.” My daughter quickly replied, “No, she is happy sewing a dress.” Hence, The Happy Dress. Aside from that, what girl isn’t happy wearing her favorite dress!

I am a stay at home mom of four beautiful girls!

Fun fact – I have an identical twinsister who is talented when it comes to painting and drawing. I am trying to convince her to sell her creations online.

I believe there is something very unique and special about a hand-made product. There is an obvious difference betweeen hand-made and mass produced ceramics. Each piece I make is hand-made and made with love.

Always unique, special. You can choose something that will have only you or low quantity of persons, handmade helps to show individuality.

I love jewelry crafting! It is very therapeutic and gratifying when I complete a piece of jewelry. The entire process from searching for materials to designing to crafting is an utter delight!

Our crafter today cites many inspirations for her truly magical creations including: dreams, texture and touch, patterns and ebb/flow of nature.

Today’s crafter loves meeting fellow crafters and bloggers! So show her some love and visit her Etsy shop, blog and facebook fan page. I

My mother was a fantastic dressmaker and she taught me everything. I started to use a needle very early in my life. When my mother passed I started to create my works with little pieces of fabric remaining from her job. It was the best way to remember her!
