Hi! I’m Tara, wife to one incredible man and homeschooling mom of 3. I’m a southern California girl pursuing the country life! My dream is to one day own our very own farmhouse with a wrap around porch and large fields. There will be chickens, ducks, goats, bees, sheep and at least one cow.

My love for yarn begins with my great grandmother who was a knitter and my grandma & mom, who taught me how to crochet. As you can probably tell yarn was always laying around. Handmade gifts were cherished in my home and something that has always stuck with me.

I’m very passionate about creating a purposeful home. Right now that looks like a front yard filled with raised beds, a backyard farm and handmade pieces with an heirloom quality.

I love sharing my obsession of yarn with anyone willing to listen and enjoy teaching others how to crochet!!!

"Tara is such a beautiful person inside and out. Her passion for crocheting shows through her teaching. She has so much patience, passion and skill. She showed me, my daughter and my sis in law how to crochet, in a matter of a couple hours. She is very thorough and makes sure that you're understanding every loop and knot. Never once did she get frustrated or impatient. She really loves what she does. She believed in me more than I did. I really didn't think I was going to learn, but I did! Thank you Tara for being such a wonderful teacher."-Gabby

"Tara taught me how to crochet when I was about 11 and I fell in love with it. It was such a great experience, it took some effort but I learned it in no time because Tara helped me grasp the concepts of crocheting and made it fun to learn. I loved the time and energy she pours into each person she teaches! She's amazing!" -Natalie
