My favorite place in the Triangle has always been Pullen Park. I lived down the road from it for the first 19 years of my life, and have many memories from it. It's always so beautiful, and I absolutely love the carousel ride. It's so colorful and inspiring! I can't wait for the Grand Re-Opening this November. I have missed my park since it closed in 2009!I started seriously creating only in the past few months, but have been really into sewing for around 5 years. It was my dream to be a fashion designer, so I took up sewing by taking a class at my highschool, and I fell in love with it. After that, I really wanted to start my own business, but when I quit my job last December to plunge headfirst into business ownership, I was in a bad car accident just a few days later that broke my arm and made it impossible to start my dream. Now that I am able to use my arm again, I'm spending pretty much every moment creating, whether it's sewing or now making jewelry with my husband.
I love handmade so much that I don't think I can pick one favorite item! I guess I will be cheesy, and say that I ADORE the ring my husband made my with my logo on it. It is so cute and I wear it everywhere!I draw my inspiration from so many places. I of course love Tim Burton's art and movies, and anything dark and gothic like that I love. I am also very inspired by the gothic and rockabilly music and fashion scenes. I love 'weird' people! My husband is also a huge source of inspiration, he's the most creative person I know!! I love having someone who is so honest and also so into color and creating things. He's such a huge inspiration!
Currently the Villainous Vixen studio is actually a bonus room in my basement. We painted it with crazy purple, pink, grey, and black stripes and have loaded everything we can into it. I have my sewing station, and there is a jewelry making table. There is also a TV where we occasionally play video games when we need some time to recharge our creativity.My main goal is to have a successful business. It's the only thing I really want!! I would love to be able to make money from selling my creations and support myself and my husband from the business. We want to move to a new country at some point, and I would love to be able to have an actual store front!! The thought of that excites me. My business is my everything!
