| My name is Cindy (Bauman) Markovcy. I began sewing in the Girl Scouts over 20 years ago, just so I could earn my sewing badge. I remember my first work was a lumpy felt pillow shaped like an elephant which I think my mom still has! My first sewing machine was given to me by my parents many years later and I started experimenting and making home items like pillows and tree skirts.
A few people saw my work and asked to buy it; soon after that, I was making work to sell and doing craft shows as a hobby while working full-time in the Corporate World. A few years later and with lots of encouragement, I decided to start my own website.
Now, I am a full time entrepreneur working out of my home doing what I love most! I get to use my work and education experience every day. I teach classes at our local community college, hold open houses, do craft shows, work on consignment, and run Homespun from The Heart.
Most recently, I started working for Primmart.com - I am co-editor of Beneath the Willow Tree, a free online crafting newsletter. I really enjoy getting back in touch with my creative writing side. I am also the Creative Dept. Manager for Primmart's Community. If you want to know what that is, you need to join to find out! I'm so excited to be a part of something so big and so awesome! THANK you Shelly!
I am THRILLED to be able to do this. Thank you to my loving and supportive husband and family for the words of encouragement and support.
Thank you for taking the time to read a little about me.
