Like every good artist, I have evolved along with my skills.
When I started scrapbooking, I made simple books that were keepsakes for myself. I was learning how to combine colors, textures, images and embellishments to tell a story.
Fast forward a few years, and those skills had evolved into something completely different.
Take this journal, for example. The cover is fabric. The design is finished with metallic paint. The interior is made with beautiful, high-quality paper. There are details throughout that make it something completely unique.
And you'd never know it began its life as a cookbook somebody donated to Goodwill.
That evolution is really the story of my creative journey.
I started as a scrapper.
I moved into jewelry.
Then I stitched my way into sewing, learning how to take the things I made and put my own unique spin on them.
When I started sewing, I couldn't sew a straight line to save my life. 😂
Now? I can create a diagonal tote bisected by a zipper, and that zipper will run exactly where I want it to without skipping a beat.
That's evolution.
My goal for Pecan Hollow Boutique is primarily to offer high-quality, practical, everyday items. But no boutique would be quite complete without those absolutely unique and fabulous finds—the things you can't get anywhere else.
And those pieces are a reflection of everything I've learned along the way.
This is my evolution as a maker.
And I'm not finished yet.
There are still so many things I want to learn, create, experiment with and try.
Stay tuned. My journey is not over yet. ❤️
