About Me

Welcome to The Ruffled Giraffe! I am a teacher by day but a crafter by night. I LOVE absolutely anything creative, except maybe drawing, that’s my husband’s department. I probably have way more crafting supplies than I will need in my ENTIRE lifetime, but I can’t help it. My stomach does flips and I get all giddy inside when I walk into a craft store. My husband calls it a sickness, but I call it a passion for the arts.

My newest passion is sewing. I bought my first sewing machine a little over six years ago, and it was a fine little workhorse. It helped me create 10 baby rag-quilts in less than a year. I now have a slightly upgraded sewing machine that hasn’t given me too many fits, and it can embroider too, so the few fits are bearable. My favorite items to create are totes and zipper pouches. I love a good bag or two, or ten, but shhh, don’t tell my husband!

I am a born and raised Texas girl to the core. My husband and I have a 6 year old son and two crazy Italian Greyhounds. We enjoy our simple life as teachers {yes, you can live quite well on two teacher-salaries, if you were wondering}.

A dream of mine would be to maybe one day open a boutique-style shop that sells my bags and other handmade goodies. You never know where a dream might take you, right?
