There’s just something special about creating with your hands. I find comfort and peace in creativity; from conception to completion, the process is magical. These designs were created for just such occasions. From diy craft boxes to finished items, the goods and designs you find here bring joy and respect through the journey.

Happy Stitching, Eilene

about me pic.jpg

I started creating at a young age. My grandmother taught me to crochet and embroider at the age of 8. I sat on her couch for hours, with my little coffee tin of colorful embroidery thread, and stitched happily away on pillowcases. How I cherish those memories with my sweet grandmother. Later in my high school years, my mother patiently taught me to sew on her vintage teal Brother’s sewing machine. I took to it in a heartbeat and have been sewing ever since. After many years of marriage, craft shows peddling my wares, major and life threatening health challenges with my children, I decided to officially launch my business simply eilene in 2016. It has been a joy and labor of love. Never did I imagine starting a business and creating my dream job in my later years. Children grown, grandchildren added, I guess it was my time to bloom in a new way. Let’s not diminish the fact that I wouldn’t have had the courage to take on such an adventure without the unconditional support and enthusiastic cheerleading of this man right here, my husband. I appreciate his faith in me more than words can describe.

Thank you for being here. It really is an absolute honor and pleasure to create for you, all from the heart.
