Rachel: TLC Inspirations

Rachel's Hobbies: Arts and Crafts, Writing, Gardening, Reading, Nature Photography

About Rachel

Rachel developed a deep love for creative writing in high school and still writes to this day, although less so than she used to, as daily life can be a little hectic. Writing lead her to nature and nature to photography, which has also been a long-time passion and she continues to flirt with her natural obsession with the outdoors. Happily living in a charming, small town in North Idaho, she finds that her inspiration tends to lay in the beauty of the world around us and in the hearts of her family.

After having her two girls, she found herself involuntarily drawn into the exciting world of crafting. They would create gifts for loved ones, everything from intricate photo ornaments and miniature tree houses to crocheted scarves and handmade wrapping paper. Over the next several years, these treasured experiences would develop into something else entirely…a business. Her craft of choice is crocheting, but she enjoys incorporating felting into the creation process for added interest and strength. She continues to improve on her techniques and dabble in other crafts, like needle felting and jewelry, but tries to stay true to the pure joy of making something from nothing. After all, isn’t that where creativity is *really* born?

About Bonnie

Bonnie is happily married, a mother of two beautiful talented daughters, and has 8 wonderful grandchildren.  She loves living in the breathtaking Pacific Northwest, and the inspiration it provides everyday.

Being an avid sewer, Bonnie enjoys taking ideas, and combining them to create something that is a little bit different. She has been sewing since she was about 12 years old, and has always had a fascination with fabric, threads and yarn. She puts no boundaries on her creativity, as her interests also seep into photography, writing, spirituality, natural health, and gardening.

Her pets, and all animals, touch her heart, and nature never ceases to amaze her. She tries to attack every task with passion, and appreciate every moment.

Creativity is the life of inspiration.
