I’m a working mom (and wife) who loves to do crafts, DIY, and decorating projects – when I can find the time! Being creative helps me find a better balance between work and life.
I come from a crafting family. Both of my grandmothers were always making things for us as gifts or teaching us to sew, cross-stitch, latch-hook (showing my age here), make doll clothes, bake and more. My mom has always been able to make about anything. Hence, I’m a DIY’er and crafter by birth!
I definitely still go in spurts where I am apt to do more projects than others. This blog has been a way to commit to myself to do more of what I like and keep track of recipes and diy how-to’s. It’s too easy to forget exactly all the steps when you make up them as you go along!
You can follow me in these places or contact me at sometimeshomemade@gmail.com
LinkedIn – I don’t write much about my day job on Sometimes Homemade, but if you’d like to get in touch with me regarding my professional life as a veteran marketer, let’s connect on LinkedIn.

ah, you did the colour run!! It is coming to a city near me this year and I really wanted to run it, but by the time I got to the web site it was already sold out 🙁 I hope I make it next year. Did you love running it?
Nice to meet you, by the way 🙂

It’s so much fun! You might be able to get in at the last minute. I know some people who were able to because people cancelled. It was freezing here that day but still a blast!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi, I really like your wrap bracelet finished with the silver button, but am having problems finding suitable buttons. Any suggestions? Or can. Use anything else instead?

Hi Chris – you can really use any kind of button. If you’re looking for one that is a little more decorative like this one, I would try a fabric store like Joann’s or Hancock if you have them in your area. Otherwise, ask around, you might be surprised to find a friend who is a closet button hoarder!
