oh greta! designs Story
 My name is Greta and I am California Girl. I was born and raised in California and "transplanted" to Florida in 2006. I am mommy to Allyson- 19 and Haley- 13. We share our home with 2 cats- Fred and Ricky and 1 red-earred slider turtle- Squirt.
I have always been busy "doing" with my hands. I began my sewing career, thanks to my Grandma, when I was 4 years old. I would sit for hours (or so it seemed) sewing buttons onto fabrics. I made my first dress, for Raggedy Ann, when I was about 6. I still have Raggedy and she is still in the dress I made. Through the years Grandma taught me more and more. I made beaded jewelry in the 60's and 70's. When I was in Junior High I took Home Economics (obviously this was in the stone age since this is no longer offered) and learned alot more about sewing. I was making my own clothes in junior high and high school.
I became a first time Mommy July 8, 1990 with the arrival of Allyson. My 2nd bundle of joy, Haley, BURST into my life December 12, 1996. I made ALOT of my girls clothes, socks and hair baubles, as well as their bibs and blankets when they were babies. Allyson had a friend, Carolyn, whose Mommy Susan launched my sewing career with Friends of The Sea Otter located on Cannery Row in California. I made all their children's clothing and accessories for about 7 years.
The fun has continued to grow. I have dabbled in a little bit of everything- beaded socks, jewelry, hair baubles, making fimo beads, rubber stamping, notecards, picture frames, you name it- I've tried it.
My claim to fame has to be beaded socks. I have been making beaded socks for over years and started selling them on eBay in 1999 ... on a dare! Many years later and here we are! Yes, we !!!! I could not have done this without all of you- my clients!!!
I hope that each of you will have as much fun with my website as I do. |
