As a child,I used to call my big brother, 'Toads'. He was the most beautiful soul I have ever known. My Toads passed away a few years ago and my heart aches every day with sorrow.
My 'baby sister' (16 years younger than me) always loved the moon. She is an inspiration to me and I love her and her wild and wonderful moon children, with all my heart and soul.
I decided to 'rebrand' my BellesHearts business to reflect 'me'. To stay true to myself: I am an empathetic, deep feeling, artsy, soulful AuDHD mama of 4. I love enchantment and fantasy; nature and her gifts and have a pretty eclectic vibe. I am the 'oddball', the one who has never fit the mold. As I get older, I realize that's ok. I don't need to be what others expect me to be, I will be true to myself as I am the one living inside my head.
I was made to create, and thanks to my neurodivergence, I have mastered many skills throughout my life and always love learning new ones.
I love one of a kind, custom made, just for you artisanal creations- that is what I aspire to make for you.
MY PREVIOUS LIFE...
Before I began with my small business, I lived in England with my 3 older children, my dogs, cats, goats and chickens.
I worked at a local high school as an English Language and Literature teacher - my specialism was working with students with special educational needs and/or social and emotional barriers to learning. These were some of the most amazing and wonderful people I have ever had the privilege of meeting, yet an intense and challenging time. To make a difference, passion, patience, acceptance, tolerance, creative teaching and learning from both my students and I were paramount.
Then everything changed. I moved over to the US to live. I have spirited tween with whom I spend my days.
I decided to trade in my creativity in teaching, for creating with my hands. I have always enjoyed creativity; art; using my imagination; working with wood and with fabrics. Inspired and taught by my father - an amazing carpenter, engineer and artist; my mother with her strength and determination and by my maternal grandparents, with their unquestioning belief in me always.
