Meet The Maker!

Hello and welcome to my journey in the yarn world! Thank you for being here!
Let me start out by introducing myself...
My name is Tara and I am addicted to all things knit and crochet. I am a 31 year old RN turned stay-at-home mom to two wonderfully exhausting kids. My daughter Mattie Kate is 7 and my son Mason is 4. (See there how I got my business name? Mattie and MAE-son...pretty creative huh?) You may see an occasional picture of them pop up here. Mattie Kate was 18 months old when I said "ciao" to the medical world and started my life as a full time mom. Admittedly they have been the most challenging years of my life, but they have also been the best. I'm thankful everyday for my time with them. Crocheting and knitting has definitely been an outlet and my therapy so I don't completely lose my mind. We live in Virginia with my hardworkin' hubby; our dog and 2 cats complete our little family.

Now about my love affair with yarn... it all started when I found out Mason would be joining us. I decided one day, quite spontaneously that I wanted to crochet him a baby blanket...(said blanket is still in the WIP pile...I know, I know) and went to my mother-in-law for lessons. She taught me the basics and from there it grew into an obsession. I then taught my mom and she is just as obsessed as I am!
I have a serious yarn-stashing habit and my husband will tell you, every surface of our house is covered in yarn. Not literally, but I'm sure in his mind that's how it looks. I have the willpower of a well...a maker in a yarn store. Ha! I see a skein I have to have, it comes home with me. However, one of my goals in the new year is to ONLY BUY WHAT IS NECESSARY! I will keep you updated on this as the year goes on. I think I can, I think I can.

Okay, so that's a little bit about me, but you will learn more and more as you read my future posts. 

Comment below and tell me a little about you!

Much love, 
Tara
