My Shop
“Butterflies and Bumble Bees” was born from my entry into an empty nest. I am a retired homeschool mom of 15 yrs. Upon entering into the last yrs of mothering I would cry before the Lord asking what the purpose of my life was to be. The Lord began to lay the needs of poor on my heart; especially the needs of poor women in the third world. I felt impressed to go to India and work in a Christian orphanage during Christmas of ‘04. Now you have to realize, I didn’t go anywhere, let alone half way around the world with complete strangers. BUT I did go. It was there that the words of Isaiah came to life as I stood in my hotel room wondering what I had done and why I was there; “When you give yourself in behalf of the poor…” That was why I was there. It was a trip that changed my life forever and gave birth to a dream. “Butterflies and Bumble Bees” Oh Great Dream Giver!
I custom design wearable art and create herbal remedies and teas. Knitting, spinning and the use of color have been a therapeutic tool I’ve used to recover my body from chronic lyme disease. I dye with pro chem cold water dyes and also natural dyes. Silk is a wonderful medium to work with in the making of Shabori Scarves. I also design and sew purses, aprons and whatnots! If it’s cute I do it!
My website is under construction and we will be open before summers end!!! Keep an eye open for an Early Bird Special on our premier opening day!!!! And lots of great give aways. I’ll be sure to post it.
My ETSY shop is open now for business. I’m still putting lots of inventory in my shop so check back again soon if you don’t see something you like.

I would love to buy one of your hats for my two year old granddaughter. How can I place an order?
