Shiny Happy Creed

I believe color and whimsy are not just for little people.

I believe your hair should be any color you want it to be.

I believe in eating dessert every day. No exceptions.

I believe toys made for babies should be machine washable.

I believe in hammocks.

I believe you can make it yourself.

I believe in cottage industry.

I believe you can never have too many books.

I believe in playing with your food. Also your clothes, your toys. your jewelry, and your friends.

I believe that purple goes with everything.

I believe in Heifer and Kiva.

I believe children’s books aren’t just for children.

I believe we all need hugs. Lots of hugs.

I believe in doodling.

I believe in a Shiny Happy World.

I spent over twenty years working in the children's book industry and the experience has left its mark on me - all my favorite artists are children's book illustrators, I believe people are basically good, and I can't abide beige.

Now I live in the mountains of North Carolina just a hop, skip and a jump down the road from Penland School of Crafts - one of the most amazing places in the world. I have a website called Shiny Happy World where I teach beginners of all ages how to sew and embroider. Join us!
