Hello and Welcome to my SOATP blog shop!

Thank you so very kindly for spending some of your precious time visiting today. Please stop in often to check out my new offerings.

My name is Francine and I am 48 years old...happily married to the same man for 29 years and the mother of 3 grown children. Sounds kinda dull and boring but I assure you that I am proud of every moment...walking to the bus stop holding the hands of my little ones, daily loads of laundry, endless home-cooked meals, favorite storybooks read a million times, moving tiny fingers along text in the church missalette they couldn't even read yet, three..no make that four trips to the ER to get our son stitched up, hours spent sewing Easter dresses...theatre & dance costumes...prom dresses, Friday night football games, opening theatre performances, weekend high school church retreats, disagreements resolved, laughing 'til we cried......and every one of what must be at least a gazillion homemade cookies it has taken to get me to this moment in my life!!!

I am so grateful for the talents that God has blessed me with, for they allowed me to be a work at home mom! I have been a ceramic artist for 28 years but recently returned to my first love...sewing.

I LOVE TO SEW!!!

A special thanks to my mom. She allowed me to begin using her "good" sewing machine when I was only 10 years old...that was over 38 years ago!!!

I have always sewn for my family and for school activities for my children, such as dance and drama productions...but never as a business.

I am so very blessed that my line of curtains has been so well received.

Thank you again
& God Bless,
~Francine
