I love making things that make a home cozier, personalized and heartfelt with a bit of that vintage feel thrown in.
As a mom to two beautiful daughters who love to express themselves, I know how important it is to surround yourself with things you love. Things you cherish. Things that are unique to you.
Through my online shop, Catshy Crafts, I put to use my loves of photography, crafting, and design to create custom-made embroidery hoop art, yarn wreaths and felt flowers.
I think that's why my custom-made, personalized pieces are the most requested items from my shop. Collaborating with you to create that extra-special piece for you or a loved one is such an amazing experience.

Why Catshy? (pronounced cat*shy)
- It's an anagram of Cathy's.
- My husband's nickname for me is Cat.
- I'm shy.
- It's me.
- I like cats.
- My then-seven-year-old daughter approved. (She shot down a lot of other names before I settled on this one!)
