How I got started…

Although I am a public school Music Teacher by profession, I have always dabbled in crafting. Most ideas have come out of the need to present a friend or relative with a unique birthday or Christmas gift. I am the mother of four wonderful children; an aunt to ten nieces/nephews; a great aunt to six; a grandmother to two dogs, Poppy and Lula; two cats, Sprout and Melody. In 2021 I became Granny Em to our precious granddaughter, Evelyn Rose. In 2022, we adopted Piper-Bear, a Miniature Golden Doodle that reminds us what we went through with toddlers in the house. In 2024 Andersyn James Berger joined her sister Evelyn Rose.

In honor of my father, James Avery Smith, who passed away in 2016, I have used the term generations in the title of my business. He was an ordained minister; civil engineer; genealogist; published author; registered land surveyor; local historian; captain in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; loving husband, father and grandfather. As children, my siblings and I listened to our Dad tell us about our ancestors, dating back more than ten generations. I did not pay much attention when I was a child, but now find it fascinating to explore his research. As I generate apparel for my customers, I am reminded of how hard my Dad worked in his eighty year life to pursue his calling and his passions.
