My Journey

Hi. I never thought of myself as a blog person, and yet, here we are. But I have big plans for the community I’d love to build through Felt Kisses - a collective of artsy fartsy craft fanatics, all inspiring each other and building each other up, and what better way than to start that with a blog?

So, first things first, I’m a mom of two wild children, married, and living in Lodi, California - The cutest lil’ wine town in Central California. I am very much the type of person who hyperfixates on a new hobby, makes it my entire personality for a few months, then obsesses over something else and restart the cycle. Acrylic nails, hand-painted press on nails, jewelry making, painting, embroidery… you name it. But sewing has always had a special place in my heart.

My grandmother taught me how to sew after she noticed I would be completely captivated at watching her embroider little vegetables onto square cloths she used to keep fresh tortillas warm. (So niche, I know.) After a while, her hobby became mine too and she would send me home with my own cloth and thread to work on at home. I was always so proud to come back the next weekend and show her my finished product. It was a skill I carried with me and worked hard to improve on as the years went on. I’m a 32 year old woman now, and a skill that I learned when I was 10 years old has turned into a passion that I’m (hopefully) building into a successful business that I can call my own.

I have so many ideas for this website - tutorials, product ideas, “sew-with-me” videos… etc. And I am so excited to start this journey with you. So come with me! Truly, I don’t know what I’m doing, but let’s figure this out together!
