About Me

Who is behind Mary's Hook and Needle?  Why me of course!  My name is Mary and I am the owner and head creator at Mary's Hook and Needle.  I am the wife of my wonderful husband who has always supported my dreams and endeavors for over two decades now.  I am the mother of two wonderful children who are both creative in their own ways.   I hope they will soon be selling their own creations alongside mine.  I am a home educator who chooses to bring her children up loving God and loving learning and being with my children is the best way to spend the day.  I am a newbie farmer who loves her goats and chickens and is really trying hard to create a garden on a steep slope in the middle of the woods with an abundance of deer and voles vying to fill their bellies with my abundance before I can harvest it.  Then there's the dog and cat who do their best to really does keep things lively!  

​

I learned the basics of crocheting, sewing, and quilting from my mom.  She was always working on something while my siblings and I were growing up and I cherished the dresses and other clothes she made me.  Unfortunately, with a large family when we outgrew clothes and no other child needed that size the items were donated pretty quickly so the items are gone but the memories are not.  What I do have is the skills she taught me and I've gone on to expand upon those skills and even learned new ones that I'm now using to start my first business. 

​

Why did I start my business?  Well, I love to create and I don't have a huge house or lots of storage space and there's only so many friends and relatives that will appreciate the time and thought I put into what I make.  Plus, my kids have MORE than enough blankets on their beds...but they still want more!  That left me with two choices: I could stop crafting or start selling what I make.  For now, I'm trying out this little website to see how it goes and then we'll take it from there and see what we can make of it.
