About Janelle
- I’ve been hand embroidering for several years now and am mostly self-taught with a focus on thread painting.
- I love slow crafts, slow intentional living, things that are cozy, podcasts, and white-noise when going to sleep.
- I’m a native Midwesterner turned happy Texan. I know all extremes of weather from both those experiences but if I’m being honest, Texas has my heart now.
- I am married 19 years this year, have three great boys who are teens and pre-teens now, and are currently pet-less after the great loss of our 9 year old sheltie, Tucker. We are looking to adopt a dog in the future though.
- My favorite memories include being homeschooled, apple picking, days spent on the lake, marrying my best friend, and snuggling my newborn sons, way back when!
- I’m all about the slow and intentional life. Cozy, quiet, self care moments help fuel my mind and body so I can be the best person I can be. Self care is not selfish, it’s fuel for the soul.
