About Me

Welcome to The Lucy Bird!

I’m Stephanie.

I love to make things.  All kinds of things. And I love connecting with fellow creators!

 
I have diagnosed myself with Crafting Attention Deficit Disorder (CADD) and you should know I totally just made CADD up.  My mind races daily with a million different projects. I love to sew, scrapbook, paint, woodwork, embroider, quilt, cut random things on my die cutting machine, re-purpose a wide variety of thrifted garage sale treasures, and collect a bunch of things that other people would likely consider to be junk.
 
Lots of crafting ideas and their respective supplies die a slow death piled up in a corner of my basement because, you know, time.  I have a supportive husband who is willing to turn a blind eye and who often brings me snacks.
 
If you’ve read along this far, you might be interested in knowing a little bit more about me, so here goes!
 
  1. First of all, let’s just get it out of the way. Crazy dog mom here. I’ll say it again, CRAZY DOG MOM!  We have two puppers, Lucy & Dottie, and they are the light of my life:)
  2. When I started college, I considered studying elementary education mostly because I really wanted to make great bulletin boards and throw holiday parties.  Those didn’t seem to be the right reasons to pursue this career path so I opted for banking and finance instead.
  3. I go to bed early.  Like Grandma early.  Seriously, if you call me after 9:00 P.M. there’s a good chance I’m already deep in REM cycle.
  4. I love all teeth-staining beverages and every 6 months I make my dentist chisel off the stains. Black coffee and red wine, you are the reason my dentist drives a Lexus.
  5. I once made a New Year’s Resolution to not be afraid of yeast.  I should clarify…yeast used in baking. Turns out bread and cinnamon rolls and pizza crust are my best friends.  
  6. Which leads me to working out.  I’m mostly afraid of it.  If I pick up a 10 pounder and get a sore muscle I automatically panic and think that I am diseased and that my arm may potentially fall off.  One time at the gym I over-did it and got dizzy and bleary-eyed and the athletic-like worker bees made me lay on the floor with my legs in the air and eat a banana.  I’m scarred forever. 
  7. I have a very dry, very sarcastic sense of humor.  A lot of people don’t get it – or me – right away.  Stick around a bit and I think you’ll understand.  Or don’t. Whatever.
  8. But you should.
  9. The Lucy Bird is named after one of my dogs, Lucy, who I sometimes call “bird”.  It all makes absolutely no sense, so I understand your confusion. I needed a business name and all of the ones that made any sort of sense were taken.
  10. I love to travel and am forever trying to knock some things off of my bucket list.  My favorite adventures so far have been paddleboarding in Maui, safari-ing in Africa, road-tripping in Ireland, and island-hopping in Greece.  Sometime over a cup of coffee I’ll tell you about my near-death experience in Paris.
  11. I am married to a wonderful fella who makes me laugh every. single. day.  He supports my hobby and brings me snacks. I’ll keep him!
