About the Wilsons

Hi!  I'm Laura Wilson.  John and I have two kids and a little piece of land in rural TN.  We're do-it-yourself-ers, and especially love sewing, baking, gardening, homeschooling, and sustainable living. Find our patterns and recipes here (along with a few disasters).  I like to figure things out as I go, John likes to plan ahead. Either way, we like to get our hands dirty.


I have a degree in Art and some graduate studies in Art History.  I love finding ways to put my art training to use in my new context. I'm now designing sewing patterns and working with Lark Crafts on a book of plush patterns that will be released in 2013.

Go here for answers to some frequently asked questions about the blog and my patterns.  Thanks for joining me here in this happy crafty space.  I love hearing from you!
