I am very blessed to be married to the man of my dreams. Kevin has continually supported me in this adventure and I will always be grateful for his love and confidence in what I can achieve. Together we have 3 children, Parker (10), Rain (6) and Maya (3). They continue to be my creative inspiration.
My Story
I began sewing after my youngest daughter had open-heart surgery when she was 4 months old. After surgery, her immune system was compromised, and it was very important to me to keep her safe and as healthy as possible. I began looking for a way to protect her from germs and bacteria found on shopping carts and other public places & after shopping around became very discouraged. The prices of boutique covers were VERY high and the fabric choices & functionality of manufactured covers was lacking. So... I decided to sew my own! After making a few for friends and receiving a lot of encouragement, Doodle-Bugz Boutique was born! I also have to mention that none of this would have been possible without the loving support and encouragement of my mom. She has been my biggest fan from day one!
Seamstresses Without the help and support of Dianna Graisham, Billie Prehn, Ann Baker, Bonnie Kiesling, Frances Powers and Rhonda Ferges, I would not be able to stay on schedule with all of the sewing needs. These ladies do absolutely amazing work, and I am very thankful for their help.
The Name The name Doodle-Bugz comes from a nickname for Maya, my youngest daughter. My mom calls her "Doodlebug" and it was also her Great-Grandmother's nickname when she was a little girl.
