The Velvet Heart
Hi! I am a military brat who married a Kansas boy and now we are carving out a life on the prairie. I started crocheting while staying home to raise our children.
Occasionally I break out some worsted weight yarn, but for the most part I am pretty obsessed with thread crochet, especially when it involves beads. I sell mostly crochet jewelry patterns. I draw a huge amount of influence from my travels growing up. As a child, I fell in love with the beautiful handmade jewelry in the African countries we lived in, and that has stuck with me. I also have a great love of mid-century style. Everything from color palette (turquoise blue, pink and mint green!) to the types of jewelry worn then, like sweater clips and big chunky beads. My style, though, is decidedly bohemian. I hope you enjoy my designs!
