Allow me to introduce you to my family. I have been married to my wonderful husband Charlie for just over 5 years now and we have 3 delightful daughters. ,Alaura 4, Melinda 2, & Natasha 4 weeks old.
My company is a home based business that allows me to be with my family 24/7 which I am loving! We live on a 17 acre farm in the beautiful northern part of BC were we get lots of opportunities to try out our warm winter styles (it can get down to –40) in the winter, and our cool summer cloths in the summer (It can get up to + 40).
I suppose I was always destined to be a designer and lover of natural fabrics since I started hand sewing doll cloths when I was 8 and nurturing all the animals on our family’s 17-acre hobby farm since I could walk!
After High school I studied fashion design with a textile specialty at UCFV in Abbotsford BC. I kept my day job while designing mostly wedding items until after the birth of our second daughter. Now that my maternity leave is over I have decided to take the plunge and direct all my efforts at starting my own at home business. My love of wool in particular comes from my mom who raises sheep on the family farm and has a home based wool carding and comforter making business on the family farm. It was she who taught me to spin and love all things hand made with all those years of quality made Christmas gifts. It was my father who taught me to dream, that nothing was beyond my reach if I was willing to stretch for it!
I hope I can give my daughters the same wonderful gifts of knowing one loving home as they grow up and having the courage to stretch for their dreams.
So when you enjoy my carefree designs and hand spun wool couched trim, thank my family. All my designs are made with love, tested by my beloved daughters and shipped out by my wonderful husband. Without all their love and support I couldn’t do any of this. PS if you want to know the name of the sheep who’s wool adorns your items just ask when you order I can probably tell you!
Sincerely,
Barbara Jaggernath
