Ontario, Canada
I'm Tara, a mom to two busy boys, a special education teacher, a blogger, an addicted crafter, an Etsy shop owner and person who gets little sleep.
Currently I sew, emrboider and screenrpint for my Etsy shop but I'm a craft dabbler and am willing to give anything a try.  Right now I'm curious about printmaking and stamp carving and eventually fabric design. I've also fallen a bit into the world of crochet recently
