me:
hi, i'm kelly. i like to sew & create & i really like being able to share that. i also like to write here on the blog. i'm married to clint. we have 2 kiddos (hudson & holland)& one on the way. just kidding. not yet. i threw that in to freak out family & friends.
in may 2011, we started Harp Design Co. we create furniture from recycled & reclaimed wood & give a table or bed to a family/aid organization in need every time a piece is purchased. we also make children's clothing & accessories & home goods like pillows. the purchase of these items help us to make 2 pieces of furniture for the price of one. leaving our steady paycheck was a really scary move. our journey has been quite the adventure & promises to be anything but boring! i'm not a natural risk taker, but i've found that following my creative heart doesn't tend to be easy. i push myself to share the good & the bad here with you.
i like to cook. so does clint. i like a man who can cook. he can also vacuum like a champ. better than me! what a guy.
we try to eat healthy (& now on a budget!), meaning we cook a lot @ home & with whole foods. but we also have a major sweet tooth, so i bake a lot & we like ice cream over everything. it's kind of a problem.
we started a garden in spring 2010. the sweet potatoes kind of took over, but that's okay because we like sweet potatoes.
let's see, what else?
i like to read, when i get the chance. fiction & ready made mag. i see the occasional movie. my fav tv watching includes parenthood, house hunters international, anthony bourdain's no reservations, 19 & counting, & sometimes i watch a real housewives episode, or two, but i'm trying to stop because oh-my-gosh-train-wreck.
so thanks for stopping by.
feel free to drop me a line: kelly(AT)harpdesignco(DOT)com
