Hi, I’m Catie!
I live in Albany, NY with my husband of 7 years and our 2 year old daughter. I work in a preschool as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant. Working with young children, I do A LOT of arts & crafts. I’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember. My mother is a very talented artist and passed on some of her creativity to me. When I was little, I used to make my parents hand made cards for e v e r y holiday. I think they still have some of them. I would use uncooked pasta, magazine clippings, buttons, string, anything I could get my hands on. I loved handing it to them and seeing the look of joy on their faces. As I got older, I continued crafting homemade gifts for people. When my husband got me a Cricut cutting machine for Christmas, I began making ALL OF THE THINGS; signs, T-shirts, dish towels, and my favorite, canvas pillow covers. I love creating and gifting to people and it is something I hope to pass on to my daughter, as my mother passed to me.
Why Pillows?
I've always loved decorating, whether it is decorating rooms in my house or decorating for a party, I just always have loved it. I also love switching up my decor because I get bored very easily. I started getting pillow covers a few years back to switch up my throw pillows during different seasons and Holidays, it was cheaper and easier than getting new pillows all the time. When I got my cricut, I started buying plain canvas covers and making my own designs and loved how they turned out. I was getting so many compliments, I thought "hey, maybe other people would like to have these too!" The reversible idea came solely as a way to save, it was winter and I had made a “Get Cozy” pillow cover, then February came and I wanted a Valentine’s Day cover so I flipped it over and made a “Hugs & Kisses” design! After Valentine’s Day, I flipped it back over! And the rest, as they say, is history!
