| 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. I am a new mommy to the most beautiful girl, Gabrielle. Here's a picture of my two most favorite people in the world.
Thank you for taking the time to read a little about me.
