About

Who am I?

First and foremost, I am a mom. It is the most important part of my identity, but it is not the only part. I am a wife, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a friend, a teacher, an empty nester, a journaler, a beachcomber, as well as a compulsive needle pointer and bead weaver who is employed full-time. I guess now I’m also a small business owner!

 

What is tt22 designs?

Those close to me know that I don't relax well. I am one of those people whose head is loud! For as long as I can remember, I have relied on handiwork to quiet the noise. While most people can chill with Netflix, I need to be doing something while watching. Since childhood, my go-to has been needlepoint, making me somewhat of an accomplished stitcher. In recent years, I have taken up bead weaving, and now I alternate between the two.

People always seem to say, "How do you do that?" Or, "I could never do that." IT IS NOT MAGIC. With a little instruction, anyone can create with a needle and thread!

I believe that creativity has the power to calm the mind and feed the soul which is why I have started tt22 designs. My goal is to make these not-so-magical art forms accessible to everyone.

Thank you for visiting tt22designs. I am truly grateful for your support.
