About

I am so excited you have found my site! My name is Jessica, I am married to a wonderful man and have two energetic and creative kids. After many years of no frills sewing, cooking and crafting I decided to start sharing my step-by-step tutorials and ideas in hopes of helping others continue along their creative journeys.

Since having kids I decided I wanted to use creative outlets to help them deal with change and their emotions. And to share the creative inspirations I had as a child with them. It has blossomed into something more wonderful than I could have imagined. I have sweet memories of my kids watching in awe as we create meals together. Of my daughter using my sewing machine for the first time. And of my son painting pots, growing plants from seeds and going out to check on them every day.

I also have a love of outdoors (running, hiking, camping etc..). And have recently been trying my body at yoga. I became interested in sewing and painting as a child; watching my grandfather and great-grandmother and the passion only grows each year. I love crafting and sewing for friends and family and hope you will love some of the ideas that inspire my world and keep me grounded. Happy Creating!

PS- The name Anchor and Rope was chosen by my daughter a couple years ago when I was trying to decide on a name for my small sewing gig.
