First and foremost I’m a wife, a mother, and a Mimi.  I have 3 great kids and two grandbabies, and they are my inspiration for much of what I do.  I’m a transplanted Yankee in the great state of Texas. But at the end of the day I’m just me.

I work in telecom but am a crafter at heart.  I started my crafting business, Yes Thistle Do Nicely, in 2015 making t-shirts, tumblers, jewelry, and soap.  Yes, I’m that person that says oh I can make that and usually do.

In 2023 my husband and I moved to out of the Houston area to a 12 acre farm.  We had been gardening on 1/4 acre but now have so much more space to garden and raise chickens!

I had been away from blogging for a while but got back into it when I made a lot of changes in my life.  I wanted to chronicle what was going on and how my life was changing.  Follow me on my journey of homesteading, scratch cooking, and all things craft related.
