All about me

My name is Kathy and this is my blog.  I started it a few years back, under the name Too Many Hannas. That referred to the fact that my two girls had too much Hanna Andersson clothing and I wanted to sew more handmade clothes from them.   Around the same time, I discovered handmade boutique clothing from Genmarie (now defunk), Bercot, Matilda Jane, and more.  I was hooked on making dresses like they were selling!  I started a Facebook group, called Handmade Dress Haven, and renamed my blog.

Now, here I am, mother of two lovely and smart girls, former elementary teacher, and I dabble in designing my own patterns and selling what I make on my Etsy store, Delphinium Designs. I am currently on a break from the store but hope to reopen soon.

I am also an avid reader and dabble in organic gardening and enjoy living in the far north Pacific  Northwest, land of mountains, ocean, orcas, islands, and lots of coffee drinkers.
