Hi, my name is Tammy and we live in beautiful Northern California. I am married to my husband John, this year we will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We were high school sweethearts, together 32 years now. We have two sons, one 21 and the other is 13 now, boy how time flies. I also have a 7 year old furry child as well, he is a red and black German Shepherd who is more like a toddler. This is our 3rd German Shepherd, and I just adore them.

My hubby and I owned a convenience store where I worked but we decided to sell it this last summer, I plan on opening a quilt shop soon. I love fabrics and it has been a dream of mine to open a quilt shop. I sell fabrics and finished items on Ebay for now, while waiting for the right building for my shop. I haven't listed many finished items lately but I an excited that I can finally sew more, now that we sold the store.

My wonderful hubby works for Coca Cola and is a part of their management team within the equipment service division of the company, he has worked for them for about 18 years now so Coca Cola is a big part of our family. I love anything Coca Cola.

l love to sew, quilt and do crafting of all kinds but machine embroidery is my passion.

I just love anything handmade, to me it means so much to see the love and time that is put into these special gifts.

We also enjoy traveling and have a motor home so our furry child can always come along on our adventures. He would refuse to eat and would cry the whole time while staying behind with family or in a kennel, so he now joins us on every trip. He is truly a part of this family. We enjoy all vacation trips but I just love any time that I can spend at the beach. We love the central coast here in California the most. The ocean is truly a great place to clear your mind and relax.

I also really enjoy spending time in the kitchen. If I'm not at my sewing machine I am usually in the kitchen cooking or baking something. I really enjoy baking the most :) We love to cook and try new foods. I like baking the most because it's kind of like crafting, making things look pretty coming out of the oven.

My younger son and I enjoy making lots of Christmas cookies to hand out every year during the Holidays. We've enjoyed this Christmas tradition from the time he was about 2 years old. It's amazing to be able create these special memories with him in the kitchen, he is quite the baker for 13 years old ;)

I also enjoy meeting new people and creating new friendships it warms my heart.

I love all crafts! I have always been a creative soul. Crafting is my therapy, I am not happy unless I am creating something.

I love to sew, quilt, and do machine embroidery. I like to sew tote bags & fun accessories like zipper bags and items to keep your purse a little more organized. I also enjoy sewing and embroidering home decor items mixer covers, pillows and towels.

Paper crafts such as cards, postcards & gift tags are a blast to create too.

I also enjoy making Christmas ornaments of all kinds, and often make them all year so that I can put them away to hand out at Christmas time.

Baking and cooking is another passion, my favorite is baking and decorating cakes and cookies.
