The Story...
Welcome! I am so excited to share my new passion with you!
​
My macrame story...
​
It all started in the early 70s as a teenager growing in Puerto Rico. I found a few books about macramé and I began practicing and learning and before I knew it I started making money for all my personal things. I was passionate and very creative in my designs. It became my number one hobby and it has lasted a lifetime.
​
I continued to make them thru the 80’s while I lived in New York but between raising my girls, working full time and attending school it became harder and harder to spend time making them, so one day I packed them away...😔
​
Couple of years ago, while looking thru my storage unit I found my old box of macrame supplies and found that I had enough cord and beads to make a special basket for one of my girls, which now hangs in her beautiful kitchen.
​
Fast forward to a couple of months ago while staying with my daughter for a couple of weeks, she inspired me to pick it up again by purchasing all kinds of supplies and enticing her girlfriends to purchase them.... that did it!!!
​
That’s all it took! I began making baskets with intricate designs and each one unique. I made wall and mason jars hangings and I haven’t stopped since then. I’m so glad it’s back in my life. Back then it was my hobby but now is simply therapeutic to my soul. It’s truly a passion for me and one I want to share with you!
​
So please, look around at the different ideas and let me know if I can design the perfect piece for your home, whether a basket, wall hanging, table runner or wedding backdrop.
