I am a stay at home wife and mom of 8 kids. I have loved needlecrafts all my life, learning them from my mother and grandmother. I love to create,design, learn new techniques. I love gardening, photography, caring for my family and our farm animals.

Hannahs Homestead began when a friend asked me to crochet a pair of baby booties for her grandchild. Up until then, most of my work was for my own use or for gifts. After that, I wondered if there might be more interest in handcrafted items. After posting an ad on Facebook, the booties became a huge success. With some prompting from a friend, I started my own Facebook Fan page, and soon after that opened my Etsy store.

Most of my listings start when someone asks me,“Can you make something like this for me?” Then, if I cannot find a pattern for the item, I write my own pattern.
