Seamstress at Heart

Sewing is one of my true passions. I started when I was just a little girl and I have been addicted ever since. I have many wonderful memories of spending time with both my mother and my grandmother watching them sew and spending endless hours in fabric shops. As a little girl I had a closet full of beautiful dresses all handcrafted by my mother and grandmother. I remember them dressing me up and taking me into the city for tea and luncheons all the time. What wonderful memories.

Now I am a mother and my children are my pride and joy. However, my daughter is somehow special. I always wanted to continue the traditions I grew up with and now I have that opportunity. Abby, who is currently ten, loves to go fabric shopping with me and help me pick out pretty fabrics. She will sit next to me while I sew and happily play with scraps of fabric, my button box, tape measure, and spools of thread for hours. When she was 3, she would go into my stash and pick out a piece of fabric and bring it to me and say.."sewing machine it mommy!" I will treasure these memories forever and I hope that she too will someday learn to love to sew like her mama, grandma and great-grandma.

"What's In A Name..."

I have received a ton of emails from people curious about the name "Olabelhe"! Way back when, when I decided to start a blog and a small business I wanted to have a very special and unique name that people would remember and that meant something! Since my inspiration comes from the most precious thing in my life...my children...I wanted "my name" to somehow reflect them. Hence, the birth of Olabelhe. This made-up word comes from the first 2 letters of all 4 of my children's names. OLiver, ABby, ELliott and HEnry! Pretty clever huh? I just love it and indeed, it works.
