I proudly embrace my title as a craft goddess, a claim I wholeheartedly endorse! Throughout the years, I’ve enjoyed sharing my creations with others, and I’m excited to share them with you now. You might be wondering about the name "Gitchy." According to Urban Dictionary, "gitchy" refers to something quirky, strange, or offbeat—qualities that perfectly describe me!
As a Maiden, I learned the art of embroidery from my grandmother—along with the not-so-secret skill of sneaking sips of her coffee when she wasn’t watching. By my pre-teen years, I was already sewing my own clothes and anything else that needed stitching.
Transitioning to my role as a Mother, my sewing continued, this time for my children. I balanced a full-time job outside the home with nighttime sewing sessions after the kids went to bed. Recently, my son reminisced about falling asleep to the soothing sound of my sewing machine, expressing how safe it made him feel. That brought a tear to my eye! My creative journey didn’t stop with fabric; I also dove into the world of yarn. The possibilities of what you can create with just a little ball of yarn are endless!
Now, as a Crone, I find myself with more free time and access to advanced technologies, which allows me to learn, create, and explore like never before. I’m truly enjoying this stage of life! I’ve recently started using a laser cutter, unlocking an entirely new realm of creativity. My projects are varied—I flit from making earrings to shadow boxes, dollhouse furniture, and so much more!

I'm excited about this new chapter and the opportunity to spread a little joy along the way.
